Matthew Norman: Jess Phillips would be a gamble for Labour – and it would pay off

Assuming catastrophic defeat is starting to lose its charm, the only relevant question for Labour members is the only question Democrat primary voters should be

MSM try to wreck the Labour Party. Never trust MSM.

If it bleeds it leads?

25,000 door steps in a 6 week period. And this . Really ?

Yes please, having her up front would be the end of Labour as we know it.

She is a vulgar loud-mouth! No thanks.

No it wouldn't, so please make her the Labour leader

Nope

Beware the Independent is now in the Daily Mail stable, it will promote who is the less danger to Boris, if it’s to be a lady I’d go for Lisa Nandy, a smart cookie

No it wouldn’t!! It would give Johnson great freedom. He would make mincemeat of her on a weekly basis and the only argument she will be able to muster is : you say that because I am a woman. She has no policies

With her as leader Labour would lose vast amounts of support

I like her but a lot of the people I know who could have voted Labour dislike her as much as they did Corbyn. Cooper is the safer bet to appeal more to would be voters if not Starmer.

No it wouldn’t, she won’t get my vote in any leadership election.

Yes put her in, can't wait to see Boris Johnson wrap her up in frustration. Great TV .

I’m not so sure... She might be able to get liberals on board but what about the English left, Scottish & Welsh Nationalists & the Greens? She def won’t win over tory voters, they really don’t seem to like her. We need as many people on board as we can possibly get.

Lmfao 😂😂😂

You can see the party shrink from afar under her leadership. And while you're at it you might as well just as Chuka Umunna to return to be her deputy

Jess Phillips signals the destruction of the Labour movement that is still there. With her Labour will be finished.

I really doubt it.

Does jessphillips pay a PR company? This article tells me she does. Jess is shadow cabinet material. There she will learn and I’m sure excel. Her public stance against jeremycorbyn and PR co doesn’t get her even close to Keir_Starmer

You’re hilarious!

Absolutely not

Sweet Jesus ..... 🙄🤦‍♂️

Fuck no. If this happens I’m voting Greens.

I think she could be great, not afraid to make her voice know and hold the government to account. Could be just what people need after what is viewed as Corbyn prevaricating.

When losing a resounding loss simply isn't loosing by a big enough margin. So you have to come with the best looser tekkers you can come up with... Just to make SURE. if you make her your leader you won't be elected for at least 20 years. - do it!

Not even close: for sure, she'd end up ruining Labour. If not by ideology, certainly by appearance. She'll NEVER make it to PM, cause she doesn't fit the description of a PM. And that's what ultimately should be the deciding factor. This is why I'm rooting for YVETTE COOPER!!!

god help us no

Absolutely not. Jess Phillips is not capable of leading a truly inclusive left-wing party.

Yes, absolutely yes. Jess is perfect for the job. Make it happen.

Never, ever, no way.
