Ok but who would you have replace him? Who in the higher reaches of today's Labour genuinely has the necessary vision and courage?

Bring back chaos with Ed Miliband

Is he still around?! Tbf I don't follow it closely anymore so only really know Cooper, Streeting, Lammy, Kendall. I forgot Rayner, used to like her.

I used to like Lammy, his speech on Brexit in the days of Bojo,was magnificent. Now he’s kowtowed to the red lines 😩

It's not just Starmer who is the problem, it is the whole Starmer project and almost all the Cabinet. Ed Miliband is the only one who might stand a chance. Beyond that, possibly Stella Creasey, who markedly didn't join in the factional fighting, or Andy Burnham or Sadiq Khan if they returned to WM.

I'd like to see Ed back.

I'm definitely warming to him. As long as he doesn't make his stone a member of The Cabinet.

@labourlewis.bsky.social has a lot going for him, too. I'd like to see a leadership that fights back agst the far-R instead of pandering to them; that campaigns to #RejoinEU; that doesn't throw my trans friends under the bus…

That's not to say that any of them would be close to being my ideal leader. But they would almost certainly be less terrible than Starmer.
