Alan Sugar has announced he has resigned from the party due to it's "anti-business policies" - and guess who was Shadow Business Spokesman...?<br /><br />Alan Johnson is still a name to consider, loads of experience and his support for AV will leave the Daily Express struggling to complain without upsetting UKIP! But he'll be 70 at the next election so would he want to go for PM then? Even as an interim to sort out the mess he's got to be worth a try.<br />SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-3488690821540444402015-05-11T14:18:02.427+01:002015-05-11T14:18:02.427+01:00Labour are now where the Tories were after Major. ...Labour are now where the Tories were after Major.

Not least because he's PWC's Labour hatchet man. Him praising Jim Murphy and the Scottish Labour campaign on Friday shows a serious lack of judgement as well.<br />Kendall lacks depth, presence, ability and support; she's a non-starter. <br />Which leaves the two heavyweights, Cooper and Burnham. Both are first class operators, there's nothing really between them. Myself, I'd just back Burnham, he comes across as warmer and more human, and thus more electable but it's very very close.

To be a Labour shadow minister I imagine you would have to have the hide of a rhinoceros to survive.<br /><br />My own personal choice FWIW would be Yvette Cooper is has shown to be a feisty character even whilst being the wife of. She seems to be more than capable of handling the pressure and Cameron can't afford so easily to be seen to be patronising to a woman opposition leader as he has been in the past to women members on both sides of the divide.robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-43831656054063148202015-05-11T11:14:19.781+01:002015-05-11T11:14:19.781+01:00What do you mean "borderline" racism?
