Serious question: who, out of those who threw their hat into the ring when Corbs stepped down following the 2019 debacle, would be doing significantly better right now

I think a female contrast would perform better against Boris, so probably Nandy & maybe Long-Bailey

That doesn't mean I think they'd have a sniff of getting into power though

Google tells me that Emily Thornberry went for it as well but I don't remember that at all? That's like a reverse Sinbad in Shazam moment that

I think she could be a potential leader. Fuck knows how she'd do in the current climate though. She's rooted herself in her constituency (Wigan IRRC) in a way that a lot of MPs don't.

She is so obviously in a different class. I read her long lecture about disinformation a while back - Corbyn is nowhere near on the same level, intellectually, politically, anywhere.

it's the like the old workplace hierarchy problem isn't it - you're so great at your job that we're gonna make you manager (and take you away from all the stuff you enjoy and are good at)
