Liz Kendall’s Facebook Q&A offers a window into the Labour party’s madness

Liz Kendall spent an hour on Facebook this evening answering questions from Labour supporters. Those sitting on a social network on a Tuesday evening are clearly not entirely representative of the party’s membership, but this Q&A suggests Kendall has a perception problem in some quarters. The sheer vitriol of the comments from those who claim to be Labour supporters shows that some folks really do not like Kendall.

Here is a selection some of the users had to about Kendall being a supposed closest Tory (these posts enviably had the most likes, far more than her responses):

‪Paul Whiteley‪: Hi Liz…..sorry but don’t you think with your right of centre policies & views that you might not be more at home on the government front bench than standing as Labour leader…..do you think the public will vote Labour with Tory policies when they can simply vote Tory for the same Tory policies ? Labour needs a distinct identity & not more centre right policies to try to obtain the votes of middle class middle England !!
