  • someone mentioned earlier about Labour not having any frontline big personalities who will be part of the future of the Labour party. From what I have seen Emily Thornberry has done a good job in front of the camera and under pressure.

  • I don't buy this. The main reason we don't see Labour personalities is because they don't get media coverage. The likes of Sadiq Khan, Yvette Cooper, Louise Haigh, Jess Phillips etc are all competent, passionate, interesting people.

  • It was someone else that suggested there wasnt or they had decided to pursue their goals elsewhere. I was offering that Thornberry could be one to rise to prominence in future years.
    Im not just following media coverage so actually have seen quite a few Labour speakers or read what they have to say.

  • Sadiq Khan, Yvette Cooper, Louise Haigh, Jess Phillips

    They all seem like decent people (unlike most of the Conservatives) but Sadiq and Jess have said some things I can't shake.

    Sadiq said the three attackers last Saturday were 'too all intents and purposes integrated'. Which just leaves me confused. Jess's weird classist, sexist attitude seems really dodgy.
