Burgon is an intellectual black hole, no way should he be deputy leader.

Labour have to at least be seen to be moving towards the middle ground, I'm not sure Rebecca long Bailey is that character. But with the boundary changes coming up labours priority has to be winning the towns in the north and midlands, that rules out kier starmer and Emily thornberry who are too closely linked to the remain campaign.

At least RLB won't have the baggage Corbyn and McDonnell had, but she isn't in my mind the right kind of leader for labour going forward.
