Labour Leadership Hustings from Liverpool

Not had a listen yet, am going to try go do so today. Hope I will then feel as optimistic as you!

No hope of the party regrouping if Long Bailey is leader

Surely that would depend on the reaction to her leadership by the rest of the party Anniebach. If the rest of the membership take a position such as that "no hope" expressed by yourself then that will become the reality. But if the rest of the party could be a little more accommodating to different opinions, then unity is much more possible.

Having watched them all it appears to me that only two of the five candidates could be a future Prime Minister.
Emily Thornberry and Keir Starmer.
I hope Starmer wins.

Haven't seem it but heaven preserve us from Emily Thornberry

I think any of the female prospective candidates are fit to be a future PM, it's about time the LP had a woman leader, we've waited long enough!
I do not believe Rebecca Long Bailey will be elected Anniebach. She's too in the mould of Corbyn, whom the electorate rejected.
Personally I think Corbyn is an honest and decent man, but an idealist, rather than a pragmatist. It's not much use having socialist policies if you can never get into government to carry them out.
He was also viciously treated by the media.

Just finished watching it and have to admit to being reluctantly impressed by Emily Thornberry, which I did not expect.
I thought they all spoke with passion.
The only one of them I would definitely not want is Jess Philips.
