He’s 76. So honestly. It would be more surprising if folks found him easy to convince of new ideas.
At 55 I honestly have to kick myself every now and then the rethink some things.
I tend to agree with much of what he says. But think he lacks the political awareness to lead the party.
But honestly while I like ZS as a person. Her own mistakes mean we need someone a little more considered to lead the party.
But we are not in a hurry. The plan (if the votes doesn’t change it) to have 2 leadership elections in the first year post conference, one now in forming the party. Then one a year later to head into the election.
ATM id not vote JC for either. But feel other members may well select him as the first leader.
I’d be more surprised if he is selected in the 2nd year. As A) he is unlikely to be fighting Starmer.
B) I honestly think we need a younger leader that can attract younger voters to back them.
