THREAD: Leadership Election... Let’s be honest, it’s flatter than a chapati driven over by a transit van! But so was it in 2015 at this stage... So I’m still optimistic the best is yet to come.
But here are my thoughts so far...

Not one candidate thus far is even attempting to inspire the members or the electorate. In fact they’re totally ignoring 10.2m people who did vote for us.
To put that into perspective the Lib Dems got 3.6m votes. Getting 10m votes is not to be ignored.

There seems to be a theme growing to find the things the candidate should dump ... Nandy opted for ‘free Broadband’. Like people on the doorstep were totally against getting it?!
What about the ‘People’s Vote’? You don’t see this as a problem? Lady, stop your ‘honesty’ claptrap

If you’re genuinely ‘honest with ourselves’ and really want us to ‘deeply reflect and listen’ - you don’t come out with dumping free broadband in an election where Brexit was a fundamental issue.
It’s weak Leadership. Soundbite politics. Avoiding conflict to stand for nothing!

Why are you choosing anything anyway? Because you were asked? I went on a one-day media training course - rule one, you answer your own questions and control the message.
This lacks in all of the interviews so far. Including opinion pieces oddly.

Then we have the ‘we have to regain trust in Labour again’ ... erm People’s Vote? No. Corbyn’s beard? Yea let’s go with that!
People voted to Leave and we lost the *trust* of people who voted to Leave. Deal with it. What are you going to do? Jess, its OK bab, we heard your view!

So despite Brexit being an issue, one Leadership candidate said she wants to still remain, but not, but yea, no, but yea...
Sod it, I had no real idea what she was saying if honest - sounded like “I react after the incident because showing hindsight is the depths of my talent”

I must say Scotland came up less than I thought it would. Like totally never spoken about.
Anyone remember when Scotland was our ‘heartland’? Some of our former Leaders and Prime Minsters came from Scotland.
Am I allowed to ask about Scotland?

No one has a vision. Even Liz Kendall had a vision.
It’s all sulky faces and vacuous soundbites.
Complete weakness and almost pitiful. Be prouder to be Labour and show some confidence. Excite people. Inspire them. Or at least smile!

Anyway I’ll end on a positive... to my comrades on the left; hold tight and don’t worry about flakey lightweights talking doom and gloom.
The right are totally divided with them fielding so many candidates. The Chicken Coup Gang are falling apart. Our discipline is our strength
