HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2019
- Keir Starmer has opened up a solid lead over his rivals in the race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn, according to the first poll of Labour members seen by Sky News.
The shadow Brexit secretary beats Rebecca Long-Bailey, the shadow business secretary and favourite of many of those around Mr Corbyn, with Jess Phillips in third place.
YouGov polled 1,059 Labour members for the Economic and Social Research Council's Party Members Project who they'd vote for in the last 10 days of December.
Sky's Sam Coates breaks down the details.

Who in their right mind would vote for Jess Phillips? My dead hamster could do a better job.
An army of trolls desperate for some entertainment. I'm surprised David Lammy & Dianne Abbott haven't been promoted as front runners too lmao!!
If Jesse Phillips wins it's over for a century for labour
Most psychopaths do
Jess Philips as PM.. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL... Like seeing my 5 year old daughter being Headmaster at our local school
Headmistress*
@@Ellzyboy That's a little gender bias
Be careful, my friend. Never in a million years would I have thought we'd have Boris Johnson in Downing Street, let alone that I would be forced by circumstances to vote for him! Remember - many a true word is spoken in jest.
Elliot Smith she is a bad tempered Charlie Blowbroth.
@@Ellzyboy headmaster
The British Working Class never left the labour party. They stabbed us in the back and threw us out.
I wouldn't even Vote for Jess Phillips......
I wouldn't even say Benjamin to her.
I wouldn’t even say Carl to her
I would, best way to destroy the labour party
no election here for Jess
i wouldnt even akkad her
Its like a football manager being 4 nil down at half time and he can't decide whether to bring on Heskey or Carlton Palmer
That's an insult to Heskey.
Think dominic solanke would be a good choice nowadays over heskey
Palmer was actually decent
Then hesky scores 5 in the first ten mins of the seconds half 🤷♂️
Howsabout Christian Benteke......lol
How about Dianne Abbot as leader and Dawn Butler as deputy? This dream team would finish Labour for good
And then we can return to the glory days, where we're all going to be dying of TB and sharing one overflowing toilet between 20, because we've all been priced out of anything better.
Dave Smith LOL. It would be a comedy show with 10000 police officers on pittance and 3000 homeless people in Brent being quoted every week.
Jim Taylor : The only thing I have against Abbot is she is incompetent and like most politicians, never gives an answer to a straight question.
The thought that she could have been Home Secretary sends a shiver down my spine and that’s nothing to do with her race, colour, weight etc.
The Tories are far from perfect but are currently the best option we have I would say and I speak as former Labour voter.
Abbot is in a 113% lead, which means all the other rivals have got to pool 49% to catch up, meaning 27% have not voted at all 🤣😂
Jim Taylor is she sitting down ?
Aw. Didn't people go for Rebecca's 'progressive patriotism'? Shame.
Or in other words, Regressive Racism
Jess Phillips a candidate ........ good god , could they set the bar any lower
Well Boris is the Prime minister which would have seemed hilariously impossible a few years ago. The bar is as low as it can get
What a horror show of candidates, 10 years of conservative govt.
Duncan Hughes not necessarily I mean Boris Johnson got elected 5 years is a long time
Say hello to 15-20 years of obscurity comrades...
I agree and most of these clown's that want the job of leading the dead parrot party will be pushing up daisy's by the time this party ever get back into power.
@@victorspencer9159 *clowns, *daisies. Starmer is a lawyer and very competent. Those that can spell will be voting for him.
@@heliotropezzz333 Pathetic reply and we will see how many vote for a man that renaged on a vote to leave the EU, good luck with that.
@@victorspencer9159 The Brexit issue will be irrelevant and dealt with (hopefully) by the time the next election is called. Starmer is essentially a centrist and will appeal to a much broader demographic than Corbyn without losing his supporters. He will easily win the next election, barring any cataclysmic unforeseen circumstances.
Join the new socialist party that will come from the split
Disappointing that David Lammy, Diane Abbot or Naz Shah didnt make the cut, but Jess Philips would totally bury labour so hopefully she gets elected as the new leader
Na she's competent.
I want someone who respects will of the people on Brexit, and is moderate on economic policy.
So that's none of them.
OOOORRRRRDEEEEERRRRR!!!!!
What does moderate on economic policy mean?
@@cockoffgewgle4993 I noticed that as well, i think he means he prefers , neo-liberal snowflakes (blairites) Vs not so neo-liberal snowflakes (conservatives) , and this is why , i am never voting again
@@cockoffgewgle4993 It means centre ground,
@@cockoffgewgle4993 it means over throwing capitalism and replacing it with socialism
oh my word, all these candidates are clowns. Labour is done.
Hussain - Labour = Democrats
Jeremy Corbyn was the best thing to ever happen to the conservatives.
Thats true
They gave the nurses a PAY rise
Stopped austerity
And move further to the left every day.
True.
Hi...I'm the Labour Party and my pronouns are 'lost' and 'cause'.
Bwah ha ha!
😂😂
Making fun of trans people never fails to land with righty piggies 🐽🐽🐽
@ugaaa5 making fun of pronouns is making fun of trans or non binary people, stop attempting to be crypto semantic playing 🐍🐍🐍
That moment when 143 people don't know what a simple pronoun is, but it's sound disparaging towards a political party they've been groomed by the media to revile, so they go along with it.
*It's stupidity like this that keeps the bad guys on top.*
Jess Phillips got THAT far? Oh my god
Labour needs to split, it's two parties in one, just split already
and two tory parties and then we are faced with a mini Italy !!
I kind of agree. The Conservatives should do that.
All those that are against their party's Brexit position must leave.
Tories need to split, they've become the middle class face of Britain First
So likely a posh barrister boy from London... Nice... That'll convince the working classes...
they voted for Etononians
@@thefinalwhistle1623 They voted for brexit and the only reason Etonians got the job, was because they were the only ones who were offering it.
His mother was a nurse and his dad was a toolmaker.......and he became a QC and DPP. As a bus driver from Nottingham that is the kind of story I like.
The working class love posh boys and elites. They worship the Queen.
Well an old Etonian man won a majority and is PM.
No chance till they lose their momentum.....
If jess wins she will collapse Labour completely... Lol.. Come on jess
Is proud of being the author of the Equality Act 2010 which made it legal to discriminate against white people.
if that is all they have to offer, then the Labour party should disband.
I'm a labour voter & none of these clowns have a chance of winning a general election. We need a new fresh face. Someone youthful. Especially not sour faced Bailey.
Never voting Labour again.

Why?
@@someblokecalledtom Labour destroyed the country the last 2 times they were in. Look at the 90s and look at the 1970s Troubles. All caused by Labour's inability to count money and distribute it properly
@@weavercs4014 The 90s was a good time for Britain. The Tories have done a terrible job in the decade they have been in power.
@@Mr0011011 tories were in power in the 90s, took labour a couple of years to waste all the money.
Pure comedy gold!
I really hope Jess Phillips gets it. That way Labour won't get elected for another 20 years!
Starmer has less appeal than Corbyn, what a state Labour are in.
Please please please let it be jess Phillips. I will piss myself laughing when labour goes bankrupt. She makes Jeremy Corbyn look interesting intelligent and even likeable
With any of this lot its over for Labour
Well, bye bye to labour for another 10 years
at least. ;)
*forever
Its heart-breaking it exists at all. There isn't a party in the country so irrelevant (or more precisely the enemy) of the constituency it was meant to serve. It should dissolve itself.
Time for a more revolutionary party...
20 years of Tory rule, thats depressing
They have learned nothing! , this is great - this is like the 80s again - FIRE UP THE QUATTRO
Yeah I used to drink that back in the day
Life on Mars
Quattro was late 80's.
Foot was early 80's. I agree with the sentiment but it would have to be a Cortina or Capri 2.8 injection!🚗
What should they learn - to love Brexit, to embrace racism, to have massive chips on their shoulders, and hate everyone north and south of northern England? Nah, it's not worth representing those values.
Helen Trope as long as it isn't racism against Jews...
I heard Tony Blair is coming back now it’s kicking off in Iran, right up his street!!
that would finish Labour like Hollande and Macron together finished the French version of the Labour Party.
Aaron Sochaczewski just as bad
They never learn do they.
Good luck with that... All awful.
I think Awful is a comparative word in politics - Corbyn was awful - BUT Bozo is a class of historic awful all on his own, Bone Spur lite!
@@ATPMolloy1 yet still more electable than any of these runners...
@@psychominded3243 Bozo was gifted by the Labour Party decision to elect the unelectable, Corbyn, Bozo's 43% gave him a landslide under our strange system, and because he was hidden away during the campaign by clever party managers, lets see after six months of opening his mouth.
@@ATPMolloy1 Corbyn was leader of the Labour party long before Boris became leader...
@@ATPMolloy1 Aw, poor poppet!
Funny seeing all these comments. Wonder how many are working class and voted Tory because they think they care about them.
Rebecca Long Bailey, or as she should be called “Corbyn in a skirt” !
@Shaw Farrow Boris should be called Theresa May not wearing a skirt (maybe apart from weekends) ...
Is s long Bailey better than a short Bailey?
becky bulb-head bailey
@@hostageg4417 Boris Alexander De pfeffel, balloon face, Johnson
I would vote for Corbyn in a skirt. He's a legend.
Every one of them would rather help the rest of the world before our own, I will never vote Labour again.
Just as long u dnt vote blue i dnt care if u dnt vote labour.
If a can of vegetable soup was there, that would have won

“Poll names Jeremy Corbyn’s successor as Labour leader”. Am I being thick ?
Nope your not, it's really badly written. Im fairly sure a 10 year old could have done better.
I think donald duck would do better than these muppets
Keir starter is pretty good
I said Daffy Duck a while back.
Rebecca Long-Bailey is really good
@@ethancarberry-holt3011 What at.
@@Jerry21238 Where I am, we heavily vote for labour. To remain neutral from the Brexit vote, she abstained. She knows the struggle many of us normal people have, especially financial. She wasn't born into power, she's pretty much an everyday person like us and probably has similar likings to us too. She has voted against benefit reductions, she's voted against a reduction to local government funding, she has been campaigning for more local funding to financially hit and ruined areas.
We need someone who is in charge of a political party who understands the struggles many people go through, and here is where she can shine.
Keir Starmer definitely seems the most competent to me. I've never voted Labour, I guess I'm a centrist, I've voted Tory and Lib Dem before. With Starmer I might vote Labour. But if they get someone incompetent, I wouldn't.
Seriously is this all Labour has to offer? Its getting tragic now,not even funny as we need a strong opposition
Most good people lost their seats...
@@ef888 It needs to connect with the working class again.It for too long became the middle class/student party
@@jackdelaney4082 Oh I agree. Though it’s interesting to see how Labour support has shifted over time. There’s seats that the tories won in 2010 that Labour won in 2019
Emily Fivebellies for leader. Diane Abopotamus for chancellor. Abopotamus's son for Home Secretary. 💩
the most unwanted job in politics today.
Looks like the panto season has been extended.

11% majority is too close. Do it again!
Especially as at least 2 of the people voting Tory have died since then..
...They've shown their true colours...the class divide has been broken...that was the Party that was!...
@The xonerunner.
Typical of the hypocritical Defeated party, trying to elect an Oxford educated, inner London MP male with a knighthood instead of electing a non-London based working class woman to the role.
The Labour party is faced with a difficult choice, elect Dumb or Dumber to lead it.
To oblivion.
Nothing to see here..lets move along.
A posh remainer? That's going to work out well. At least Phillips or Lammy would have had comedy value.
Not good news for Lady Nugee. 😃
Keir Starmer is everything the Labour heartlands rejected last month, madness to elect him as leader.
Actually if brexit goes tits up and everything fails, starmer would be right and could use that to his advantage. If brexit goes well and the people are living better, then no matter who labour throw at the Tories, Johnson will win
Jess Phillips looks like barmaid from the Queen Vic.
Hopefully that will be the end of the Labour Party.
It will not matter who the leader is if they don't learn from their past mistakes and ridiculous recent policy rejection. The British people have learned from the mistakes of the past but the Labour party seems not to have that ability.
Oh they’re in trouble hahaha
Fair play but I cannot believe Jess Phillips came third in the first round. Is that how devoid of talent the labour party is?
What about the parasite...momentum?
I hope Jess Philips wins. It will serve as the last nail in the coffin for labour 🤣
I’d rather poke me eye out than vote for any of ‘em, with the possible exemption of Lisa Nandy.
Spot on, Nandy is the only tolerable candidate.
Nandy proposed staying in the EU customs union and keeping our borders open.
She's as bad as the rest of the Labour clowns. Plus she's bloody miserable all the time.
KatchouroBlade - Not quite as bad as the rest, at least she voted for Boris’s deal, I think?
Lavery, the man who got the NUM to pay his mortgage and give him a 160k golden handshake ?
He's a trade unionist trough scoffer. He barely hung onto his seat.
I bet every single one of them was the last pick when choosing sides at school
Yeah I'm afraid that's a no, but thanks for all participating!
I like Starmer. And it’s been so long since any of these parties has had a leader I could get behind.
well if they want to win back the working class they won't do it with someone that has Sir in front of their name.
Because Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson does scream working class doesn't it.
to be honest, labour is lost for at least 10 years. if Brexit is a success then it's lost for at least 20 years.
labour needs a complete wash of the image.
Brexit exposed a lot of this politicians
The Tory brexit won’t be a success, particularly when mixed with their austerity policies, except for the class which wants a privatised nhs, reduction in workers rights and so on.
@@jgmediting7770 propaganda victim
The Baron Harkanon - how does that work? The propaganda manufactures consent to allow the pathway I’ve just described.

10 more years of tories then

Suits me
Rebecca Wrong-Daily
@Martin Britton Agree she is like Corbyn but in a dress! i wish i did not have that picture in my head! lol
@Martin Britton Lucky she was kept well out the way! after thinking 2+2 makes 22.
What a shame Laura Pidcock lost her seat 😂
I look forward to reading all the dirt that will inevitably be flung around by the back stabbers in their own party 😂
When jess phillips speaks my mind almost instantly goes to feeling sorry for her partner. That gob everyday, imagine having it everyday 😫😫
MusbCrazy80 yes that voice is enough to cause a haemorrhaging stroke.
They all look like they have an unfortunate syndrome. Small mouths. Low ears. Narrow heads.
If there's one thing we have learned...always believe the polls durp
If the devil should cast his net, what a haul he would get. All of these are dreadful. Glad I don’t vote labour anymore, Blair put me off.
Pamela Bennett I pulled Labour up on the Tony Blair thing and over 1 million needless deaths when they came knocking on the door to see which way I would vote. It went over their heads that it was their failure to stop him....... oblivious to the war crime.....
Blair's a Tory in reality though.
Benjamin Playford there a lot better then the Conservatives who are just self serving money grabbers
Martin Britton they are in power that doesn't mean there not selfish money grabbers
@@unseatedtree3955 Boris Johnson has £1.5 million, corbyn has over £3 million. Look at labour expenses too lol.
Best of luck with them lot,the torys will be safe for another ten years.
Gosh Labour, and Labour supporters just do not learn....
Lol I’m a Tory voter and 20% said Rebecca Long Bailey. And I recon more will vote her
She talks about Progressive Patriots...... sounds like she is making tea with salt instead of sugar.
And she talks about Common Purpose..... so it’s clear she is reprogrammed by the EU......
Lisa Nandys the only serious threat to the torys for years to come.
John Reynolds I agree
I think a man was the best outcome of either Lewis, Starmer or Thornberry......
Every single one of them totally unelectable.Boris must be pissing himself laughing.
Same old same old, after seeing this, I would choose Lisa Nandy, easily the best of a bad bunch, Labour need to change otherwise they are toast.

Cerebal desertion from the writer - The main comment.
Labour Party lost its way a long time ago, when they forgot about their core voters. 🇬🇧
The UK so badly needs a party to protect the ordinary work person, but right now I cannot see a party like that gaining power for a decade minimum.
I have an emoji that sums them all up nicely. 😝
Be honest, it isn't the Labour party any more, They should really be called the momentum party.
Nah
RedPugie yep
@@kd84afc because it's a Labour Party that isn't terribly Centrist?
@@redpugie6235 That's part the reason why this incarnation of the Labour lost! it was to far left. Plus having a party within the party that does control aspect shouldn't be allowed.
I would never vote for this party. Anyone that get's in power now will only follow the same polices that Corbyn as followed the last 4 or so years.
Having momentum involved was a bad decision
@@kd84afc no it isn't. Labour got torn apart on Brexit. They were still up from the Centrism of 2005, 2010 and 2015. Not a coincidence that a left wing Labour got 12million votes in 2017. Stop rewriting history.
I'm 64 now...it's a toss up what i see first...A Labour Government or a Letter from the Queen!
Looks like it will probably be another tory majority unless its ian duncan smith for future pm role
Wasn't this how they ended up with Corbyn after Momentum infiltrated the party.😱
Take off the tinfoil hat, no cultural Marxism exist dummy
That's how Boris eventually became prime minister.
I think Diane Abbot should lead the party, she would be an amazing leader /s
Diane “If The Shoe Was On The Other Foot” Abbott has what it takes to step up and lead. She wouldn’t put a foot wrong. Her leadership would be a real kicker for Labour.
lets be fair it should be decided on a game of darts who ever gets hits by the most darts wins
"Amongst the working classes and the professional classes"
Oh, since working classes can't be considered 'professional' or because the reputation 'middle class' has is too accurate and upsetting to stomach?
To judge a person on a the pure basis of their single Brexit policy would be sad. He has a good track record as a human rights lawyer
Oh no! Where's abbot and Lammy they would do the best job 😂 Please let Abbot be their new leader 🙌🏻
Rebecca Long-Bailey is not strong enough to face Boris Johnson.
Would these Remainer's bring me back ? No !
Did Labour have good policies ? No !
So Labour still haven't learnt their lesson and they still can't get anything right ???
The new leader hasn’t yet been born !
Wheres Diana Abbott, we need comedy gold .
Kier Starmer would be an excellent choice, much closer to the centre ground, so imagine he'd bring back many ex-Labour voters who were alienated by Corbyn's far left agenda, but also a great debater, working class roots, and became a great lawyer
