chaff of Oxbridge spads
The inverted snobbery towards any form of achievment percieved as "establishment" is growing a bit tired.

It is the zeitgeist,
we are being told to 'reconcile with the anti-immigrant mindset' of the brextards,
and that man-of-the-people Michael Gove told us we don't need to listen to experts.As I said upthread Keir Starmer should be an exemplary candidate,
but not only has he worked in 'that London', he represents a London constituency.Are there any 'traditional Labour core' up-through-a-Union potential nominees from the PLP?

Damn straight. The idea that poor equals thick and we somehow have to bow down to that thickness out of what? Guilt? Deference to authenticity?
That's the fantastic trick the Republicans have pulled off in the States, now we're supposed to follow.
Liverpool voted Remain. So did the poorest parts of Scotland.
It's the left's job to educate or offer a vision to seduce or whatever you want to call it. It's supposed to offer something better and better informed, not to accommodate ignorance.

A 'new leader', who exactly?
A non-Metropolitan elite unifier (of the wings of the Labour Party),
who also appeals to the anti-immigrants who comprise the kipper-Tory spectrum?
Good luck finding that among the chaff of Oxbridge spads who emerged from selection committees in 2010 & 2015.
