I certainly wasn't bowled over by Lisa Nandy or Long-Bailey.

I strongly agree however about the factional nonsense that dominated the party during Corbyn's tenure as leader. That was something that I encountered first hand during the 2016 referendum and turned me away from Labour pretty decisively.

Also, Angela Rayner has been elected deputy Labour leader.
