Jeremy Corbyn has said that he won't lead Labour into the next election, after the party suffered its worst defeat since 1935. So who might be thinking about succeeding him? Here are some of the potential runners and riders, with analysis from BBC Reality Check.The 57-year old shadow Brexit secretary is currently the bookies' favourite. He is likely to be seen as the centrist candidate in the race. A passionate Remainer, he was director of public prosecutions before entering Parliament.
The 38-year old Birmingham Yardley MP has been one of the most outspoken critics of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and the party's record on tackling anti-Semitism, bullying and harassment. says that when both the leader and deputy leader are"permanently unavailable", the NEC calls a postal ballot. Deputy leader Tom Watson stood down on 12 December.
Momentum should form its own 'socialist' party and come 4th/5th in every election. Labour needs to retain the centre ground from the useless LibDems. If not, we have no viable opposition for a generation at least.
Labour needs someone completely different with fresh ideas for the people. They need to be in touch with the people and a unifying body in the labour party. Anyone who was part of the corbyn circle would be a poor choice.
UKLabour Do a poll of non-members; members already vote Labour; what you need is non-labour voters to vote Labour. It's the simple things you cannot see when you are submerged in your own gravy. Many people don't want 10+ years of Boris. Get your fucking act together. Cheers!
Difficult choice. They’re all useless.
Chuka Umunna is available I believe.
No one until Corbyn’s streak of communism, antisemitism and anti-everything is flushed out of that fragmented bunch of deluded wannabe’s!
Unelectable ,if any one of these cretins was to stand it would mean another victory and another 5 years for the Conservatives, you make it too easier. There is not a Leader above.
Dianne Abbott surely
When Labour select a leader they have a habit of getting it wrong more often than they get it right. Sometime you think they want a Tory government.
All great candidates for a resounding beating at the next GE
None of them they are all the cause and in denial of their own part in this needs to be more centre and outsider
Surely Jim Murphy is a contender?
Who cares, it will never be a real labour person again. It'll be a red tory like Blair.
Coul not care
The one The BBC don’t want I hope. Beware, Neo liberals want the uneducated to vote for a nice smile
Surly it’s a no brainier has to be Keir Starmer the rest have no chance
What a great selection to choose from 😂 looks like the tories are safe for 10 years not 5
This must be an advert for the Chamber of Horrors.
Not Long Bailey Bridge, can you imagine her at the despatch box looking like postman pat's love child.
None of the above!
Bring back David Miliband
Where’s diamond Abbott in the mix Anyone of these spitting images would be great for another catastrophic few years of labour as non of them are politically fit enough! So any of them would do nicely
I think they should pick a leader from the Marxist sector of Momentum to appeal to their new core voters. That’d help secure the long term prosperity of UK.......by keeping Labour out
None. Need complete change.
How many can you name 😂
Who cares!!!
I can’t see Starmer staying. The rest will keep Labour unelectable for years.
If like last time there is a mass influx of new members who then vote for Diane Abbott this time then they need to check the vetting procedure.
RLB for me
I couldn't give a flying f**k who it is.... Caroline flint maybe.... other then that, it needs a good clear out and start again. Labour is poison as it is now.
If they'd only picked David Miliband a few years ago🤔
Labour don’t have a good track record of choosing electable leaders - I guess they’ll choose another loser.
None of that lot for a start..
Any of them will do. They are all unelectable anyway. Despite the last Labour government's mass immigration effort to swamp Britain with their sorts, enough good people are able to still protect decency. You're out. Rest in pieces.
Picking one of these, is like picking which sti would like to have I've had to have one
You have a better chance with Hitler then them big changes needed
Don't care
Suis-je boverred? catherinetate
None of these I hope...
Starmer is the only option. The others are a complete waste of space.
Well the only person in the mix is Jess Phillips. And she should get a good dose of working class reality first. The Millionaire Marxists are so damaged that even to consider them is to repeat the sins of the past
It's got to be Hilary benn
Pick remainer and its final nail in Labour party's coffin.
None of the above ( I hope). A new kind of Tony Blair is needed here, (although I actually loath the man).
Nobody qualified whatsoever. Yes, failure sits with Corbyn, it’s an easy peg to hang it on but the individual performances from labour MPs in the run up were nothing short of embarrassing. Get some intellect and strategy rather than sham moral outrage at every turn.
Lisa Nandy
Keir Stamer with Angela Rayner as deputy. Best team available. Keep Thornberry as far away from it as possible, terrible media performer and overall a cure for insomnia.
AngelaRayner got to be
Kier is only credible candidate 😊😎
Angela Rayner and Jess Phillips look like twins- both shouty mouths too.
Kier stamer
I would say Dan Jarvis. Also Liz Kendal and Lisa Nandy.
None of them I hope
Haha why do I feel a woman is going to get the position ! Out of all of these I would say kier but in all fairness the far left party need to ditch the Islam grip and come back to the middle . This is why the anti Semitic issue grew within the party outrageous you ignored it .
Who cares
Only two of those have the qualities to do the job, and only one of them could win. I suspect some front runners from the pre Corbynite era will be stirring soon . Surely Yvette Cooper, Stephen Kinnock and Hilary Benn would fancy it. The Tories want Rayner.
It has to be Jess , the other four were as bad as Corbyn,clear the decks of these extremists
jessphillips, failing whom jessphillips
Perhaps it should be 'WHITE, JEWIS' to appease the MSM BBCBias LauraK RobinsonN etc...
Rayner
Need a film Star ,so the women can vote for them .
Some one who isn’t a rabid anti-Semitic Marxist puppet would be an improvement over the current shambolic leadership.
That has just prompted me to go put Motley Crue on. Not listened to them for a while!
If Emma Thornberry or Angela Rayner are even considered it would be putting the party even further backward. Starmer Smith is too centre for the average Labour Party member.
God forbid any of this lot make it as Labour Party Leader ! Here we go again. 🙄
Who cares, we've got a decade of Boris. Labour could put the ghost of Maggie Thatcher there now and they'd still lose. Nothing will save them at present.
None of them 😂😂
I think Angela Rayon would work, that will guarantee the conservatives a 15 year term in office
Now your asking for trouble Not One of those are fit to lead the Party they are part of the Rabble that brought the Labour Party to its knees you need a Clean Sweep , I hear the X leader of the Lib Dem’s is looking for a job lol 😂
Starmer possibly the best, albeit of a very bad bunch
Look at these no-hopers.
A New Face for a New Start. how About a Young new MP either a GIRL or a Boy doesn't matter. Do we need middle age or Old people to run this Country? cant a Young person do that who is Hungry to do Good? If they Can Join the Army than can Run the Country LetGetYoungLeader
tried a Jew but your msm printed him eating bacon + said his Jew dad hated Britain. Tried a man with a fool's faith your working class aren't a bunch of thick racists but he was wrong so you smeared him = it's irrelevant Lab will always lose to your North Korean style propo media
I'm gonna tell my grandkids that this was Emily Thornberry
Can Mair Black have a shot? Maiden speech was brilliant. Scottish though so SNP?
based on this bunch, it could only ever be whoever wins would be the best of the worst - there simply isn't a leader amongst them.
Who cares? Labour took a beating because it's an ideologically bankrupt party.
Diane Abbot. Just kidding.
None of the above. Tainted stock. Get rid.
Motley crew.
Lily Allen. Would really help labour reconnect with the heartlands.
The working class labour members need a clear out. No middle class private school educated red tie tories about them....and please dont let the right wing BBC decide who should lead.
I dont care it's still hurting too much Corbyn failed us .
If the unions and Momentum continue to exert the control them seem to have at the minute then it won't be any body capable of forming a strong and robust opposition.
Sadiq Khan!!!!!
Any, because none of them will win an election. All traitors for not voting Brexit, ignoring the will of the people. BJ will get a third full term.
Give them all a few sessions at the ballot box at PMQ's and see who misses the least number of open goals UKLabour
Angela Rayner would be brilliant. Headstrong, listening, relatable, leadership material.
It really doesn’t get any better does it with those options! RIP the Labour Party.
🦍
Let's hope it's Emily Thornberry … make PMQs entertaining and Labour will have no chance of winning the next election …
I want to see Dawn Butler elected.
Or Lisa
Emily
NONE OF THE DREADFUL S above
They need to clean out momentum and the far left activism they have brought. Bring back a more centrist party and they'll be back. If momentum are so convinced by their policies and views, they can go and set up their own party, to the left of labour.
Not one of them with a brain 🧠👎
Jess Phillips. I’m not a Labour supporter but I think Jess is great and would do a fantastic job she is so passionate about what she does. Very down to earth
I don't care who they choose I will never vote for Labour again however they change.
As long as the BBC likes them,that’s all that really matters surely
none of those pictured or they will stay as opposition
All terrible
Corbyn needs to go now leaving it till next year will only deepen the split that will happen within labour. Again he's failing to make any decision stating its for the nec to decide
Terrifying bunch that.
pick one 😀
I need a sick bag!
😂
Well they’re fucked again if they chose any of these lot.
As a conservative voter, I'll be hoping for EmilyThornberry .....
UKLabour your next leader needs to be: Fresh outside face. Good speaker witty and fast with a response to Tories lies. A woman with balls of steel yet someone who displays empathy and compassion but who isn’t afraid to kick the Tori bastards when they are down.
I note the women in this picture. The Labour Party need to choose the best person not based on gender
Hugh Grant or Lily allen!
Peter Kyle
Hilary Benn only logical choice
Where’s the diversity ?
God forbid none of them.
Hang on a minute, isn’t this sexist? Men aren’t been given an equal opportunity here! 🤪😆
Is that the options?
UKLabour are doomed again if they go for another extreme left, divisive figure GE2019
BackBurgon it’s the only choice 👍😀
you don't mention that the number of MPs required to be nominated has recently been reduced from 15% to 10% to make it easier for left wing candidates to get through
Keir or bust
The choice is pretty clear to me.
Next leader has to be a friend of Israel and supports Israel’s occupation of Palestine
What a sad and sorry state the once rightly mighty Labour Party has been reduced to. Not a single one gives a stuff about the ordinary working people across the country. Metro elite, small pressure groups, PC virtue signalling sad bunch. Nothing original to say.
Who cares, they lost why because they don’t believe in democracy.
Well if that picture is anything to go by it goes to show they are still not listening...
If that's the choice,. God help the labour party , have they learned nothing ?
Not a labour supporter but maybe someone should have a word with edballs 🤷♀️ Labour
🙄
Someone that will see that we don't want to return to 1970's socialism.
None of the above 🤦♂️
Phew!!!! Scary that they could have been running the country! Thank God for Boris!
Folks, maybe just take a little break.... UKLabour
To every Labour MP,To every Labour member the electorate have told you who they want as the next leader.None of the Labour front bench is fit for purpose
Obviously a mediocre lot. Serious questions for Labour.
Do you get the feeling it may be a woman?
At this moment, I frankly couldn’t care less. They need to dissolve the party and all the non-Conservatives need to re-align and reform. They have all let millions down
SW7_Cab What a lovely bunch 🤓
The only man alive who can will Labour elections.
Hopefully none of these, I don’t like any of them...
None of the above who were happy to put up with momentum running Labour. It has to be someone completely untainted willing to purge the Party Tony Blair style and drag them back to centre anything less is a waste of the next twenty years.
Any of them will keep tories in for a very long time!
Jess Phillips
It needs to be a fresh face for the position not someone who was in the shadow cabinet before.
I vote for the lady in leopard print, who is she anyway?one on the left , greasy skin , guy eyes to close together,lady in green not a floral print fan and the end girl is too far to the right.
Why bother, let’s let conservatives rule forever - we deserve the complete disintegration and absolute despair that awaits us. Long live the current dark ages!
Definitely not Keir_Starmer or EmilyThornberry . None of these covered themselves in glory in the general election...it’s dismal.
Kier
I want jess to take over as leader of the labour party.
All you Blairites. There aint no 'going back to the future.'
A woman who after Boris mandate will become PM
Jess Philip's, do me a favour. Keir Starmer is largely responsible for our disastrous Brexit position . The other three are candidates.
Diane Abbott, please please please let it be .. she is comedy gold...
Not paying your license anymore 🤗
Someone who has no chance of winning. Momentum dont want to win they are happy to be a protest rump in opposition. So the leader will be Diane Abott
Rolf Harris or Steve Coogen...
None of the above' labour needs a face lift and new members and not some young snot nosed ass hole' it needs some real X working class members who actually listen & i mean listen to there voter's a new face with a proper manifesto not bullshit '
Slim pickings
If you give him the right incentives and probably a bunch of cash etc... the career politician BorisJohnson could surely be tempted? Need a slogan though. What about “Get Back In!”
None of the above.
None of the above I hope !
Please let it be Richard Burgon. Keep UKLabour out of office for years. Plus comedy gold. Win win!
Pls not tory suckup phillips
None of the above. Labour needs someone the public can relate to, not a left winger or someone who will act as a puppet for Corbyn. A full overhaul of the party is required.
Where is Harriet Hermann? Yvette Cooper? - no one credible here
Didn’t see Diane Abbott in the picture
I'm hoping none shown it this picture
The cast of shameless
It has to be between Abbott and McDonnell. Pleeeaaase!
Hate to say this but what a motley mob.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄
Jess Philips is a liabilty and as divisive as Corbyn was.
Think they need to start again😂
AngelaRayner I like Kier but we need to break away from London/men domination. Angela is a great success story for normal people. The press & politico will rip her to shreds because of her accent, upbringing & road to success. We do need a broader bench that offers support.
If UKLabour want to go forward in the future, and offer a sensible opposition in the next 5 years the there is only one candidate and that has got to be jessphillips the rest we’re just yes people to jeremycorbyn and should be relegated to the back benches.
None of them if they have any sense
Love the term 'working class roots' For that read, had a job, didn't like or couldn't do it. Then read a book, became a politician.
Wow, they’re really spoilt for choice😂
Starmer and Cooper
How about the muppets, they had millions of views!!!!
Not the smug idiot Thornberry or Philips for that matter.
Also Labour needs to get rid of Shami C.
You mean which leader you bias media gone bully next ?
None of the above .... unless you want to sink even further into the abyss
Dear God, is that the choice?
Ahhhh FFS! At least choose a person the public can elect. Young people will only ever see a Tory government unless there is a face voters can believe in
Keir Starmer. It should be Keir Starmer.
It will have to be someone that the majority of the people would follow, not someone that is popular in the party. It's not the party that decides the election result as they know so often!!
What a bunch of feckless candidates 😏😂👍
Good luck with that lot. None of them. Need David Milliband or Andy Burnham if Labour is to get anywhere near a chance of winning next time.
Arise PM Abbott
If this is the choice then the Conservatives will be in power for a long time.
Tbh it’s absolutely not going to make any difference at all anymore. The electorate has changed forever. They now think differently, they tactically vote, and PLP simply chose not to see what was happening under their very noses. Indecisiveness,lack of leadership,arrogance etc🤬
Either one of these will help secure a Conservative government for the next decade 🙌
Have got no one who is a credible among these famous 5
None of these all on same page as Corbyn
Cue David Milliband !
Who gives one?
What a bloody inept useless shower, laughable
With Ms Wrong Daily in the line up, the others stand a good chance. Almost as unlikeable as the Red Hobo and John McDonut.
Who gives a shit? Honestly, people, you need to get out more.
Dig martin mcguinness up
Surely it should be Hugh Grant?
None of the above
NONE of these
Andy Burnham perhaps ?
Abbot
If it’s Keir or Jess... ok. Any of the others.. especially Thornberry then that’s 15 years of Tory rule secured.
Burnham
Don’t know if it matters that much right now
What a sorry bunch ,who could vote for any of them let's be honest.
There must be better choices...
Stephen Kinnock
Let’s consider some moderates who might connect with the majority of people. What about Ben Bradshaw, Yvette Cooper or Hilary Benn? All are articulate, compassionate and fight for their constituents and the country,
None of them!
Thornbury should be the next leader of the Labour Party, that would help Boris win a further 5 year term 😏😂😂😂
Who fucking cares!
Lisa Nandy
Getting ready to slur whoever's it is are we
If you see any of these people dial 999, they are dangerous and should not be approached
That the choice then UKLabour
David Miliband
Only a Jewish leader will clean the swamp of anti semitism. So, Miliband brothers?
If the rule book doesn't limit party leadership to MPs only, then can you please add David Miliband, Andy Burnham and Ed Ball's wife Yvette! Labour needs serious and charismatic leader not another wet fish!
£5 on Daffy Duck!
Wot no Diane Abbott.
Hahaha Emily Thornberry........will put labour back years.
No choices there! They're all aggressive!
Where’s DavidLammy?
None of those would persuade me to vote labour 😩😩
Anyone with close ties to Corbyn has no chance surely
Not any of them please
Good grief....& Is this the best they can offer they're doomed imagine Angela cor blimey Rayner at the despatch box up against Boris,not a Prayer!
Has Corbyn even resigned yet!?
The fact of the matter here is, I am unsure if Labour genuinely has anyone who can turn UKLabour around. I'd pay only real credible person would be David Miliband, but he's earning far to much dosh stateside.
Have never laughed as much in years!!!
Hopefully none of the above
The very fact that the list contains professional gobshite Angela Rayner shows just how big a mess Labour are in
Red Tory again
Don't know them but hopefully young and with a modern vision of the labour values. LabourParty UKPolitics
The really do need a total reset... hadn’t realised just how shallow the pool of talent was 😱
Let’s be honest Labour are currently far to left. They need a change of strategy from top down. The British people need to regain trust in Labours ability to run an economy, Corbyn/McDonell didn’t do that. Anybody that’s been associated with Corbyn - forget it!
The hard left of the Labour party are not going to just disappear. Rebecca (Corbyn in heels) Long-Bailey is nailed on!
Not Emily please
No improvement...
I dread to think... 🙄
Who cares... let England be England, Scotland be Scotland and Ireland be Ireland.... Ireland and Scotland are EU, and a hard border between Scotland and England is almost complete
Oh my god as if the the tories haven’t had enough of a good time in last day or so ! You go and put these lot up as the next labour leader ! The tories must be laughing their bollox off 😂😂
Four fright masks and a “Ooh, suits you Sir” hairdo.
None of the above thank you. I bet Chukka is thinking, if only.
'Cut n paste'. Sorry. '. . . ability to upset people with her silly actions . . .'
DanJarvisMP
Labour needs a fresh start with a brand new shadow cabinet. Seeing the same old team will make voters associate them will Jeremy Corbyn values even though he’s not present. Will he return to the back benches?
None of the above, they also have baggage. Lisa N would be a contender.
Hope it's Jess with Wrong-Daily as her deputy. Jess' ability to upset with her silly actions people combined with W-D's undeniable dimness will alienate those who voted Labour and now regret it. Boris will be PM longer than Blair.
Not one of them provides me with any hope
If it's jessphillips I'll extend my membership from afilliate to fully paid up.
All these JC4PM socialist corbynista mongs made me laugh. The man was eminently unpalatable in the voting booth. Hopefully Labour get their front bench right this time so I can vote for them again.
UKLabour need to fix their leader election process first. The Trade Unions and socialist factions keep electing leaders who have zero curb appeal (see photograph above). Unless they start appealing to swing voters they’ll be, to borrow a phrase, dead in a ditch indefinitely.
where is Yvette Cooper?
Who cares
Same answer as I gave in the GE....none of the above!
Who cares
Certainly not anyone in that picture. Labour would do well to deselect most of the existing front benchers or as a Party they are finished. In Scotland they were a Party of working classes in manufacturing industries but most now gone hence wee Krankie getting support.
Please let it be Diane Abbott
None of them they all were part of the downfall
Jess Phillips 🤞🏼
Don't give a fuck.
I think starmer is the only one who isn't at least a quarter turn backwards.
Hopefully none of them. Wouldn't vote Labour with any of them as leader.
Scary bunch
Can't we wait for a while, getting rid of Corbyn should be top of the list
Mr Blobby
No wait. Rebecca Long-Bailey is dreadful too.
Not necessarily the next leader, but get your money on Stephen Kinnock being at the helm within the next five years for the next General Election, be surprised if hes not on the next shadow cabinet one way or another
Shocking to think anyone of these could be considered
Any of the above but especially Angela Rayner being quite the worst of the lot.
What about David Lammy?
Is this the winning entry for the, 'How many bell ends can you fit in one photo?' competition
Why bother they area broken party and just a bunch of idiots
What a collection of fuckwits. Labour needs to be pulled apart and rebuilt, Phillips and Rayner....good luck with that.
Don’t care. But hopefully jessphillips she’s particularly useless but anyone of them would do.
We want Diane Abbott....😁
Jonathan Ashworth. All those pictured just won't win back votes whereas he is very creditable and not shy of confronting the media.
the unions will decide
Momentum needs go first! JC needs to stand down straight away. Re-build labour from the bottom up. And maybe listen to the public a bit more!
Sadiq Khan - get home into Parliament ASAP.
It will be a new dark age for Labour if not Kier Starmer.
None in that picture for sure
What an appalling choice
Nine of those. They will choose another far left unelectable person with no charisma. The Tory press will have a field day Who should be Labour's next leader is the people's question.
Is the photo of thornberry been doctored she looks much more manly in real life lol
What a motley bunch 😱
Not AngelaRayner or RLong_Bailey
As an ex labour voter there is only the guy in there who could be a possibility but even he went soft during this campaign . The rest are blithering idiots who don’t exactly inspire us with confidence. The way they campaign reveals their insecurities .
Remind me in 4.5 years
Rayner - no unless she changes her mindset - blame everyone for failings - Thornberry - no - backed the terrible Brexit position which lost the election for Labour along with terrible leader - Phillips - No as possibly too open and honest - Starmer - No chance - staunch pro euro
Please let it be Abacus Abbot . We could all do with a good laugh 😆
Yep anyone in that picture will do just fine.. Boris will have nothing to worry about, clueless the lot of them
Maybe Keir? The rest are awful.
Christ, and I thought Corbyn was bad.
God I hope it's one if these...20 more years if it is
Got to be Diane Abbott.....shes priceless😂😂
Where is Diane Abbott?
None of them in the photo or who are in the shadow cabinet!
DMiliband ...
Stephen kinnock
I don’t really care
These are the very people who cause the mess, especially Thornberry and Starmer who thought like London elitists that those people up North are thick.
Poor old kier , I think this time they will go for a woman
They’ll have 10 - 15 years to sort it out....
Have I missed something. Doesn’t Corbyn need to resign first and as he’s given himself a 5 year time limit I’m not sure you need to worry about this just yet
Abbott for PM
Any BBC political correspondents will fit the bill
David Milliband
Non of those I hope.
Dianne Abbot - In reality it will be the person who does what Momentum tells them to do
What a choice
Labour must go more mainstream with Andy Burnham or Lisa Nandy if Labour pick one of those in the picture with all that baggage they are doomed
which one one of these will the egregious BBC denounce as a anti semite-tell us all now and save us all from the suspense
Whoever it is, they've done it too late, but they didn't listen to the public, as usual.
Any of these would be good as it would mean labour were still unelectable
Need a new line up.
I think they will guarantee a conservative government for the next decade. Happy days 😀
Who's selection was that array of hopefuls ?
it will be whoever the leaders of Momentum want
If it is any of that lot thenLabour could find itself in opposition until the day I die
Any one of that group will keep Boris in seat for an extra five years.
Jesus Christ look at that lot. Might as well just keep Corbyn 🤣
I think any of them will be a total fail. It is not johnson they have to stand up to but that scummy cult momentum which pulls the strings. The racisism is rife and momentum is the behind the scenes instigator. Why isnt hackney abbott in the line up not one ethnic
Bring back David Milliband from America, or Burnham or Khan. The far left doesn't work.
Non of these lot all was anti democratic this is why they are in such a mess now
Does it matter? Any one of those political lightweights won’t make a dent. 😂😂
I think Thornberry may be the only one strong enough to stand against Johnson. She can be like a pitbull a time and speak her kind like Johnson. Can she reach people though?
Keep corbyn. He is doing a grand job of destroying the Labour party
Laura kuenssberg
So, a Marxist, three knobheads, and a fat toff. Hmmm difficult.😜😈😲😜😜
get 👇he's free
Need to look elsewhere, this lot will take it back again!!
Any one of theses numpty's will do
That’s quite a motley crew
Media campiagn launched to get female labour leader regardless of talent.
Who cares think everybody’s sick to the back teeth of politics and politicians give us a break
leave Corbyn there, he did a great job
Deary me. Is that the best they've got?😂🤣
No one cares as they’ll lose again.
Ideally, a black, northern, Jewish trans woman - with a disability and immigrant parents.
God help us if this is it!
None of the above.
Please not AngelaRayner or jessphillips . We are trying to calm the political conversation down and these two take any chance to shout down others. Not sure it will do Labour any favours picking any of them. Conservatives must be sitting back and smiling at this list.
Lol any of those Pillocks and Labour are doomed
YvetteCooperMP .
None of the above, they are terrible
Emily would get me voting labour again - without a doubt
DMiliband please
Hopefully none of the ones BBC pictured!!
Lily Allen 😂😂😂
Motley crew. Continuation of the Labour horror story.
What a shower 🤦♂️ (Anyone other than Rebecca Wrong-Daily)
If it's not Keir Starmer they've learnt nothing. But I do know who it will be, Jeremy Corbyn is going nowhere.
Starmer has the most Gravitas.. Jess Phillips would be fun.... Thornberry ? Hmmm maybe .... the other 2.. well if you never ever want to have even a remote chance of getting back 'in power', well go ahead, especially Long Bailey who us a basically a female Corbyn.
Get back David Milliband the leader they should have had! And he’s not been involved in this shambles!
I hope it’s Diane Abbott!!!
Diane Abbott . . . . . I'll get my coat
Who would want to lead a party that's likely not be in power for decades?
It needs someone working class, not from London, someone younger and sensible and not on the current shadow cabinet. That lot need to go.
Not a great selection there Emily Thornberry & Sir Kier... Patronising & Condescending (covering for lack of intelligence or giving a s**t) Jess Phillips strikes me as an emotional manipulator, I think the 2 on the far right (ha ha) seem best
None of those in that picture, but then again, what the hell, yes go for it, they’ll be just as unelectable as Corbyn was, so let Labour keep the status quo. Now if a younger more hungry, articulate wesstreeting became leader, I think we’d have some proper opposition.
Anyone but Jess or Angela.
Spoilt for choice with that bunch of clowns
It should be AndyBurnhamGM imo
Hopefully someone with strong leadership to bring the party back towards the centre. It’s clear the far left ultra socialist rhetoric will never gain enough traction to get into power after two elections. The experiment is over. If people want change it has to be done gradually.
They are all out of touch with reality, bring back David Milliband
It will be whoever Momentum and McCluskey decide. Another bad day for a Labour Party slowly sinking in to oblivion.
Who cares! Give it a break we are all politiced out!!
Why not Diane Abbott or Dawn Butler? Just goes to show how racist and sexist this bunch are. It’s almost a whitewash. For shame
It shouldn’t be any of this bunch, a new broom has to sweep clean, where are the moderate left of centre Labour MP’s there must be some left surely
Andy Burnham
Depends who Shamus and MacClusky want... I dont see much 'reshaping' coming on 'its everyone elses fault we're not for turning' I foresee a thatcheresq period of 'no change' Not so much root and branch...but new country.....
David miliband to please the Jews .
Wouldn’t bother they ain’t getting In for the next 10 years at least lol
Definitely a Woman. CmctDatingAndAdvice Facebook Introductions RelationshipAdvice Bristol UK HookUps Marriage FormulasToSuccess LifeCoach DatingCoach Alchemist JustWin
Communism does not work, neither does capitalism, opportunity for a new party employing the best of both
Look back at their electioneering and decide, only one young lady apologised and stated how and why it all went wrong. And she talks like a Brummie, the rest just fancy the too spot. Humility xan go a long way!
Barry Gardiner would get my vote. Passionate, genuine, & he helped our family out with some Home Office BS when no one else would. Did you see him tear into Raab?
None of those in the picture. Labour needs to lose all the obnoxious dead wood and start again with totally new people
Line up on Crimewatch
Emily thornberry 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Needs to be a leave suppter for labour to regain the voters they lost to start with
Couldn’t give a shit to be honest. Who ever it is though has certainly got their work cut out.
Didn’t know Crimewatch was back?
voteforjess
Im hoping Jess Phillips.
If they want to lose the next one too, any of the above
Who cares. Focus on what Johnson and his People's Government is going to inflict upon this (one) Nation and hold him to account instead of obsessing about Corbyn and Labour like the rest of the media.
Every last one of them has done their damndest to prevent Brexit from happening for the past three years and that baggage takes more than five years to discard. Recipe for more disaster. Twits
If this lot is really what’s on offer then Boris could literally choose when he wants to step down! 🤦♂️
Diane Abbott surely 😂😂😂😂
None if they want to change back to a party who the people want to vote for. These are still far far left Corbyn/Momentum clones 😡😡😡
Who is the next leader is irrelevant at this time. While the party is in the grip of Momentum and its ultra-left policies it will never ever get even close to power. It's currently still in denial about Corbyn and blaming the defeat on Brexit.
😂😂 Jesus look at this bunch. The Tories are going to be in for decades.
Mr Blobby? 😕
None of the above. Find new candidates those ones have been tainted already.
What a shower
Who cares?!
England is now nearly all blue, Labour are going to have to appeal to the more moderate Labour voter or they will be locked out of No 10 for a long time !
If Kier Starmer led the party, he would now be in No 10
Jess Philips hopefully
Like the ratio of women leaders proposed here, but a bit discouraged about the lack of BAME here
If it's any of them then the party's even more fucked
Take your time . You got 4 and a half years .
Labour have to choose a female this time around, they are the only major party never to have done so. It seems incredible that the party of inclusivity and diversity is not inclusive or diverse...
Hopefully any of the above will be the next leader, Labour have become extremists making it unelectable Until they radically change from inside get rid of MomentumOut / MarxistsOut Very good news for the Conservative Party who will stay in power for at least the next 10 years
Jess Phillips that'll keep Labour in the gutter for a while.
Give it Giggsy 'til the end of the season.
Ask yourself who do the hard line corbyn supporters that have enabled 5 more years of poverty & austerity really really not want. Answer jessphillips. If labour want power they need to be centre left. If you don’t like it, sabotage another GE or suck it up & try winning.
My God! What a bunch.
None of the above.
Coco the Clown. No, wait, sorry, he’s the one leaving.
Rescue the LP and the U.K.
Already drafted by the Tory Press: ▪️Labours new leader [insert name here] is a terrorist sympathiser ▪️Labours new leader [insert name here] is a xenophobic ▪️ Labours new leader [insert name here] is a Marxist Been the same script for the past 30 years🙄
Why is Phillips even in this photo? It definitely won't be her, the LPMs hate her
Hopefully none of them.
Barack Obama
A Starmer / Phillips ticket
If they don’t want to be out of power for a generation, go and beg David Miliband to come back and right the ship.
Oh dear....
None of the above faces, esp. Angela R. who is such a poorly spoken chav that it makes my heart bleed
Someone who can tell the Gammon they weren’t mugged off by Brexit with a straight face?
😲 evidentemente una mujer.....😂😂😂
Anyone who’s truly in touch with what the working class want and listens to what we need.
Are these their options? They're as good as dead
any Labour Leave supporting MP will do. surely they are so many of them. although perhaps not.
None of the above
Any one in the picture would Finnish Jeremy Corbyn job and in 2025 totally wipe out Labour Party so go for it 😂😂😂😂
Andy Burnham would get my vote ( he’s not in picture)
None of the above
Who gives a flying fig?
Satan?
you can be sure the fuking BBC won't be choosing who it'll be
None of the above
Jonathan Reynolds
Not jess Phillips...
Some centrist tory in disguise most likely
It would be an absolutely ridiculous idea to select any one of those people but, Labour seems to be prone to ridiculous thinking. They’ll probably choose a woman, just to be PC, which would be fine if there’s a smart, charismatic choice, but it’s not one of those women.
Please let it be Jess Philips. Totally unelectable so longer Tory rule
If they want to win the next election, then nome of those in the picture. It needs to be someone who has mot been involved in the current shambles
Hopefully none of the above.
Whoever it is needs to undergo an image makeover in style, sophistication as well as talk sensible, moderate language not mantra in archaic Marxist vocab
Knowing them a clown
Dear god, please let it be jess!
UKLabour need to be very careful picking their next leader. If they go for a PC choice, based on somebody’s sex/ ethnicity/ religion etc, they are going to get annihilated again. PICK THE BEST PERSON for the job! Nothing less...for ALL our sakes!
Guess who is the only one not to get in on an All Women Shortlist.
Jess Phillips always seems to be upset, emotional, broken trembling voice and about to cry - not tough enough. Emily Thornbury is a Dame or something by marriage so as Labour leader easy target to mock. Kier Stammer is too nice, calm, polite to rip shreds off opposition.
Any of them would make UKLabour to continue to be unelectable!
Wrong daily or Raynor please.
Don’t just think about who will be next Labour leader but think about who can you see as being a new future PM and cut it as a leader on the World stage.
I don't care who Labour put up. None are a threat to Boris!
They'd better move back to the center or they'll be a fringe party keeping Corbin's purity above practicality in place. Huge red flag to Dem voters in the US.
HarrietHarman was always pretty formidable whenever she had to stand in during PMQ’s
Evidently a white person according to the BBC.
There’s still a Labour Party? 😂
It's not even relivent any more 🙁
Someone thoroughly decent and eminently likeable, Lisa Nandy.
My top three choices at the moment - Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Lisa Nandy
Anyone of these will keep the Conservatives in power for the next 100 years
This really could have been Chuka Umunna's moment. Instead he fled to Lib Dems. LMAO!
Lord bucket head.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
Ffs not Emily Thornberry
None of the above
Kier Please
None of them labour won't win any future GE wth this lot
It could be media Jess Phillips she is on the BBC that often I think she works for them
If it's any of that mob then you've already lost the next election. Lady Thornberry the Socialist... Sure! Three mouthy cows and Mr. Boring. You best start from scratch and purge anything and everything Momentum. You've got 5 years to get it right. No rush.
, it’s a race for the survivors 🍕
The CPGB don't do female leaders.
Tony Blair
Who cares?
The leader and deputy must be elected from the House of Commons PLP members. No saying they have to stay there. But they must start there.
I'm sure Lady Thornberry will help them reconnect with the working class heartlands.
AndyBurnhamGM
This will be hilarious.
Ousama ben Laden?
There will be another in place before the next five years is up
Kinnock
Labour needs to move back to the centre or they’ll never be elected again.
There should be some kind of snake hips dance off. Pants to be kept on at all times. What, that’s genuinely more daft than the PM hiding in a fridge?!
Keir_Starmer all the way ! & he's a sir you do the maths, folks.
None of the above.
Me.
Out of those pictured, only Keir_Starmer and jessphillips are suitable.
GOD HELP US
Keir or Jess!
Che Guevara
Hope it's not that clown on the left. I'd rather have a rotting shoe.
The conservatives would want it to be a female so that can plan their sexist tactics
Black and Brown need not apply? Cheers BBC.
None of those faces deserve it.
