Benn's a compelling speaker and has alot of respect and authority in the party, however he's a bit old, white and male, and I don't really like political dynasties. Definitely in the new cabinet, though.
Benn is known only for warmongering, backstabbing and shitting all over the memory of his father. If he has a lot of respect and authority in the party, the suggestions that Labour should be wound up as a busted flush are right on the money.
I never understood the idea that Benn's a good orator. That 'golden speech' on Syria was embarrassing. The only thing it convinced me of was that the House of Commons is full of GCSE-level intellects.
