I said that as soon as he was voted in Labour had lost the election.

Who cares?

 

[fatshrimp]

Ed who... ?

 

[MK Shrimper]

No, sadly an easy target for the Tory redtops.

 

[callan]

Who cares?

I'd much rather see Ed running Labour than anyone with Competence.

Said at the time they lost the election the moment they appointed him.

Now he has lost an election his stock is even lower than before.

Never stood a chance after how Murdoch and the media have targeted him. I'm undecided as to whether he should go or not, I think he should by the next election, but some candidates like Jim Davis could do with a bit more experience, Andy Burnham is favourite and I'd like to see that. Harriet Harman taking over as caretaker is a good shout.

Going, going, gone as I type this. Harriet Harman taking over temporarily until leadership elections.

Oddly enough, despite the hammering they took, and contrary to the poll option, the Labour vote is actually up on 2010.

That's curious.I heard that they lost some 26 MP's from the 2010 result..

Andy Burnham is awful.

He's like a Labour Grant Shapps.

How about trying to find someone with some actual substance?

It's not even as if he's any good electorally - he was beaten by Ed Miliband in 2010.

Chuka Umunna or Yvette Cooper for me.

His work around the Hillsborough disaster and getting documents released and inquiries, etc, has been excellent.

As Barna says Chuka Umunna or Yvette Cooper now seem to be considered at similar odds to Burnham as well. Interesting that bookies are giving odds of around 20/1 for David Miliband but that must be highly unlikely.

He's back in the UK apparently.But I doubt Labour would touch him with a bargepole.

He also got booed and heckled for attempting to deliver a party political message at a Hillsborough memorial event.

Given the attacks on Ed for "stabbing his brother in the back" I dread to think what they'd come up with!

They did but turnout was higher this time.

I think Labour had a slightly increased share of the overall vote, which given the massive decline of the Lib Dem share , is hardly surprising

True but the lost seats were in Scotland where voter numbers are smaller so a lost seat there is less of an impact on the share of the overall vote (over 45m)
