RLB 100/1 now apparently

I’m putting a fiver on Tom Tugendhat.

Rab Butler not running this time? Still dead and a Tory?

I don't think Burnham is going to happen despite the bookies fav status, it's like when you get the same usual suspects placeholder fav football mangers popping in all the next manager betting, despite the clubs involved not even interviewing them for the job.

In some ways Kieth was right to bring in the NEC voting threshold reforms that shifts the power back to the PLP away from the membership. Just in the sense after voting for him in such great numbers they can't be fucking trusted ever again!

Is it even feasible? He wouldn't be a very effective LOTO if he wasn't an MP and it's not as if he could be parachuted in in the next month or two.

If he wasn't such an uncompromising street-fighting rebel rouser then ..maybe lol! But now the the PLP can effectively choose the leader, I don't think there is a big enough soft-left voting bloc there to Make Burnham Happen.

In the 70's tv drama Bill Brand there is good ep about all the shenanigans during a Labour leadership election. Spoiler: the character who is possibly based on Michael Foot goes close, but loses and accepts a place in the cabinet.
