Latest Mori report isn’t good for RLB https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/keir-starmer-remains-most-favoured-among-britons

(Although the proportion of respondents who’ve actually HEARD of any of these people, is low)

Starmer won this two months ago, unfortunately.
A general election only takes six weeks the length of this is mind boggling.

Only 23% of people have much idea who RLB is, but 44% have already formed a strong impression of her.

Brits. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Oh I know

It’s actually only slightly longer than previous leadership contests (I think). But this was the process arrived at following the review of Leadership contests in 2018/9 so… I dunno. Increasing internal democracy adds bureaucracy, I guess.

:+1: This is the sort of thing I want to see from Labour. No getting drawn in to foolishness, no quibbling with what ifs; just frank and unequivocal support for trans and NB people. This and the Green New Deal are my two red lines.

I like the way she deftly makes her position the more “no nonsense” one.

Shame she’s felt it necessary to make up weird, cynical lies elsewhere because she’s good on stuff like this.

This is basically everything you’d hope someone would say every time that Morgan harps on about this infuriating penguin nonsense.

“WHAT IF I IDENTIFY AS A TWO SPIRIT PENGUIN THEN?”

Then you’re a weird little man with one joke, but it changes nothing, why should any party decide not to stand up for real people who live as a gender other than which they were assigned at birth just in case you decide to make up some nonsense which effects nobody? :woman_shrugging:

Like what point are they even trying to make? If they go around calling themselves attack helicopters then it’ll cause societal collapse? No, you’ll just be regarded as idiots and ignored.

I’d have liked her to fire back with “alright pal, I accept your identity as a two spirit penguin now. How’s your life going to change? What discrimination have you suffered from due to your identity? What needs do you have now that are different to before? What support systems do you need access to?”

That’s how people who make The One Joke feel about people who are transgender on a good day.

Nandy comes across quite well on this, i think…

Labour MPs have been emailed that the special conference on 4 April to announce the new leader has been officially cancelled. “The results of the Labour leadership and deputy leadership elections will be announced at a scaled back event on the same date and we are now considering options for what form that event will take”

Really weird, that. Look at the other jobs on offer!

I’m confused

It’s like Facebook for people who take their job far too seriously.
