Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy and Sir Keir Starmer speak at a Labour leadership hustings in Glasgow last weekleadership election can either give a party the chance to show off its talent, or it can result in weeks of introspective paralysis.

Because the person runnng the party is obsessed with winning the leadership by proxy and the other half of his time he IS Boris Johnson. It called Gremlingate but none of you have the guts to do other than pretend it's not happening.

Because they keep dealing with issues important to their activists rather than what concerns the electorate

It would appear that no one cares Johnson is turning us into a dictatorship

cos they are obsessed by their party..NOT the country. Wake up to this.

What missteps?

if ya go carryin' pictures of chairman mao (rothschild) ya ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow...

Because everyone knows it is the Labour Party leadership that put him where he is!

because they are a bunch of antisemites working for the antisemites ..Awh their leader said so in parliament

NTForwardFocus What missteps? So far our Prime Minister has stuck to his mandate in full and the electorate are exceptionally pleased! BorisJohnson

Translation: Why don't people want us to continue to ruin the UK with the globalist agenda of replacing Britons with violent low-IQ terrorists in addition to taxing them into poverty and subjugating them to foreign oligarchs and courts?

Because they're useless and won't get a grip on their own dogma driven infighting. You're welcome

Because all MSM including the Independent support the Tories and their racist liar of a leader.

1) because they are awful 2) because a) Brexit, b) Immigration policy - big wins; Boris is basically untouchable for a while.

Their whole campaign should have been based around the fact Boris Johnson is an oxygen thief and shouldn’t be trusted to open a door properly. For some reason labour stopped talking about what the tories really are.

They have to sort the expulsions out first.

Because Corbyn is still sticking around like a bad fart in a lift 🤷‍♂️

Deer in the headlights like Dems in U.S. Congress.
