Kier Starmer
Kier Starmer has won the Labour leadership contest and will have Angela Rayner as deputy leader. Both claim that they are Socialists and not Corbynistas - time will tellMomentum favourite Rebecca Wrong Daily is out of the running and hopefully will be condemned to the back benches.
Sir Keir Starmer – 275,780 (56.2%)
Rebecca Long-Bailey – 135,218 (27.6%)
Lisa Nandy – 79,597 (16.2%)

Should fit in well with the Northern Labour Party members.

Re: Kier Starmer
He comes across as a bit of a greasy creep. Got the brains, got the money, got the miserable face, should go well for him. I do think he was always out of place in Corbyn's line up and intentionally positioned himself with being Leader of the Opposition in mind. Coming from London and a millionaire probably won't affect his ratings, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.I just hope he gets rid of all the activists who sit , lying in wait for the next thing they can get their teeth into and turn it into a saga of pitting one against another. That's not politics, that's 'activism' which is no way to run a successful political party, IMO.

Re: Kier Starmer
That's a disappointment, I rather wanted R L-B to get the jobStill, look on the bright side, we now have Angela Rayner for the deputy
Oh well, a millionaire, London based Remainer with a Knighthood should be just the thing to go down well with Northern working class voters
