Labour’s sitcom of a leadership race could be ‘the one where Long-Bailey and Rayner inherit the party’

If they win, the Monica and Rachel template suggests they’ll get on famously. But having two candidates with similar views isn’t exactly the best way to win over voters

Even at the earliest of leadership election doors, Labour seems headed towards another misjudgement of audience mood.

If the populace is to have its very first Labour female flatmate sitcom, the preference would feature Emily Thornberry and Caroline Flint.

Exactly why they move in together isn’t clear yet (I started working on the pitch 90 seconds ago), but that hilarious scenario would emerge from the legal action Thornberry is threatening Flint for claiming she (Thornberry) referred to her (Flint’s) constituents as stupider than hers (Thornberry’s).
