LONDON - Britain’s opposition Labour Party needs a new leader after veteran socialist Jeremy Corbyn said he would step down following his party’s heavy election defeat at the hands of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives.
A strong supporter of a second Brexit referendum and of remaining in the European Union, Thornberry has said the question for the next leader should not be their position on Brexit but what their plan is for taking on Johnson. Lewis was involved in student politics while at university. He is now a junior finance spokesman for Labour, having previously done stints as both the party’s spokesman for defence and for business.Known for being outspoken and candid, Phillips has long been a critic of Corbyn’s leadership. The 38-year-old ran women’s refuges for victims of domestic abuse before becoming member of parliament for Birmingham Yardley in central England in 2015.
A lawmaker who has represented the northern English town of Wigan since 2010, Nandy has long said Labour should focus more on towns, where, she believes “there is a strong feeling ... that Labour stopped listening long ago”.
