Says it all really. #LINO #Starmer #UKPolitics I hope #BarbaraCastle haunts his dreams.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/sep/29/rosie-duffield-keir-starmer-women-problem-labour

Sorry this was too long for a single post...

Finally - #politics is definitely not a "man's subject" - it is a matter of some regret that #labour has failed to elect a female leader but I am old enough to remember #barbaraCastle - one of the most formidable & effective ministers in poost war history

@sccjono

There is only one possible -#starmer

But here are a few that got away

#alanJohnson (of course!)
#barbaraCastle
#andyBurnham - it still might happen one day , but long odds now I think

Really overdue - #labour have to replace #starmer with a #woman if there is a competent candidate
#lisaNandy #rachelReeves #angelaRayner #jessPhillips
all qualify in my book as do several more

I think it a mistake to focus on the leader - #labour is not a #cult its a #movement
