I'm not in the UK so don't really see the day to day stuff but he's always impressed me. I agree that he likes the limelight, as witnessed with his MLK tribute act during the Trump visit but I genuinely like what he has to say (speaking as someone who supports the SNP, gave up on Labour a long time ago). I think someone like him might sway a few Scottish voters/English dontknows back towards the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly I am not a Labour voter but I am happy to see a genuine left-of-centre Labour leader. Lammy seems a reasonable, committed politician but picks his causes carefully. Not convinced he would follow a Blairite path if he were to become leader but equally not convinced he wouldn’t. Any Labour leader is going to be pressurised into following a ‘moderate’ (for that read pretty right-wing) path. Corbyn won’t succumb to that pressure, there’s not enough evidence to know how Lammy would react. FWIW he’s probably a better choice than a lot of the pretenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think Lammy voted for the Iraq War. He’s been decent enough in recent years though from what I’ve seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 254 Labour MPs voted for the Iraq War. 69 Abstained. None of them will be party leader in the future. Labour however have been reformed by the members and are now lead by a committed, lifelong anti imperialist. The SNP are still the same party who voted for the war in Libya. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
