Labour’s next leadership election should be a women-only contest, Harriet Harman has said, in order to give the party its first female leader since it was founded in 1900.
Whereas the Conservatives have managed it twice without any wimmin only shortlists. What does that tell us? The answer though is this; the leadership should be decided upon the most suitable candidate irrespective of sex, skin colour or religious beliefs. That is how a fair, just system works.
Anything else is gerrymandering.
Ms Harman said her idea was “startling” a lot of would-be leaders who are laughing at the initiative.
Then she is an even bigger tit than I thought she was. Nasty piece of work and she does women no favours whatsoever.

Can’t be having any of that masculinity creeping in anywhere..
But she got her ‘husband’ ‘elected’ on a wimmin-only shortlist didn’t she?
Odd woman, seriously peculiar, and unstable methinks.
Dunno about peculiar. Nasty more like.
It may shock you but I suspect her other conditions for candidacy could have the result that only one person was eligible. Who, I wonder?
It must really piss her off that the evil Tories have had two female prime ministers without doing any of this diversity nonsense.
Oh for feck sake. I wish someone would just point out to the silly woman that she has actually been leader of the labour party at one point the same as Margaret Beckett, but really I just wish this embarrassing Blairite would piss off to the illiberal undemocrats or somewhere….anywhere but here….maybe South Georgia….
Can’t wait for Comrades Corbyn and McDonnell to suddenly identify as female. They almost qualify already, as when they are seen together, you can hear the cries of, “Look at that pair of tits.”
Her unsavoury beliefs on child sex should have finished her filthy career back in the seventies. Another mystery to chew over…
Sounds good to me.
Female Labour MPs are even more inept than their male MPs. Then there would be the mother (& father) of all LGBT+ battles
Diane Abbot (or Munroe Bergdorf) would probably win. Even PM TM is better than her.
Jesus Diane Abbott vs Dawn Butler vs Yvette Cooper…. not much of a fucking choice is it?
Kate Hoey would be my choice. A proper down to earth old Labour type.
She wouldn’t be selected though. She’s a heretic.
They could end up with a bloke in a dress as leader of course. That would be a hoot.
