Farewell Angela Rayner As Campaigner Chief

[Paigntonian]

and farewell Anneliese Dodds (useless) and Lisa Nandy (out of her depth). But one wonders who picked the team. Could it have been Hair Gel Man? If Sir Keir has the semblance of a brain Hillary Benn should be shadow foreign sec (experience) and that would be a start.

Good riddance to all those three, they were all out if their depth and frankly a bit embarrassing when being interviewed.

[Sqad]

I rather liked Lisa Nancy.
The other two were quite......."unsuitable ".

[Paigntonian]

The funniest thing is little Andy Burnham positioning himself as a Labour leader. Quote: "if the Party were ever to feel it needed me, I'm here and they should get in touch". With friends like that...

[Jackdaw33]

I wonder if Rebecca Wrong-Daily will make a comeback to pacify the left.

[Sqad]

Lisa Nandy.

[Paigntonian]

And I really love Rainer saying that she only travelled first class on the trains because it was a matter of personal safety. Maybe everyone should travel first class then...

// if the Party were ever to feel it needed me, I'm here and they should get in touch" //

I wonder whose PlayBook that is from?

[Sunk]

Rayner is quite good, but completely rubbish at running an election campaign. She had to go.
But the ultimate responsibility for the poor showing is down to Starmer. He won’t voluntarily go, so expect more failing campaigns when Rayner is replaced.

there is a woman MP who name is Jo i believe who had some spark about her, im sorry to say right at this minute i can't recall her surname, she made a speech in HOP, and was quite forthright. I will have a look next time and see if she pops up at PMQT.

[Jackdaw33]

Are you thinking of Jo Swinson? She was LD leader but lost her seat in 2019.

[emmie]

gosh no, she was useless, this is a Labour MP. She has long dark hair and is very straight talking. sorry i am usually on the ball with names

[fiveleaves]

I have a lot of time for Lisa Nandy. Labour did very well in local elections in Wigan where she is the MP

[emmie]

perhaps her name will come to me later

[Jackdaw33]

The only Labour Jo I can find is Jo Stevens, MP for Cardiff.

[davebro]

"Bomber Benn" no chance!

[emmie]

sorry i can't recall...

[youngmafbog]

I always thought Lisa Nandy was ok, needed a bit of experience but if you dont start you never get it.

Rayner and Dodds were totally useless.

Of course the one person who should go (Sir Kneelalot) wont go.

//If Sir Keir has the semblance of a brain Hillary Benn should be shadow foreign sec (experience) //


The problem with bringing anyone back is that he will, quite rightly, be accused of not looking forward which is one of the big problems of the Party (With one section harking back to the 70's).

[Hopkirk]

Was it Jess Philips, Emmie?

[emmie]

likely Hoppy, she was very strong in her delivery and i know she made a few good points. Sorry for misleading with Jo, but she wasn't on the box long enough.....my fault.
