Clearly has skeletons in his closet!!

He's a quitter. He walks off interviews and now he decides he can't face the leadership contest. He's all show (quite literally) and no go! BTW, I wonder how long the 'girlfriend' will last now he's given up

If he can't stand scrutiny or attention should he really be an MP in the first place? He has always been chippy and defensive, demanding special treatment wherever he goes-good riddance.

Let's wait for the early editions of the UK Sunday Newspapers - the likes of 'The Sun', 'Sunday Mail', 'Sunday Express' who are known for their unpalatable exposures.

handie:
Does this Umunna of AA fellow even know Nigeria? Would his labour leadership have been of benefit to Nigeria and Nigerians in anyway? Does he understand kedu? Abeg leave this Umunna fellow and let's focus on issues concerning Nigeria and Nigerians jare.

madridsta007:



Hehehehe! He announces, he is a Nigerian.

He withdraws, he is an 'Igbo boy'

Okay o. Kontinu.

Too early, too green, and lacks the charisma/eloquence/brain to win the people over, anyway.

Who will vote for a Blairite that's more or less ToriesLite in his outlook, especially with how messed up the Labour Party is right now? The party's traditional base is in disarray, while they also need to appeal to more English voters - since they have lost Scotland completely. Ditto how confused the whole party is right now with no direction and no ideas on what to actually embrace - traditional left or ideals of new Labour which is ToriesLite. And minorities in the UK are inconsequential in determining election (esp black people who make up just 3% and over 60% of eligible/registered black voters don't even vote).

Even if he were to win Labour's leadership, white people out here won't vote for a nyggah. They don't even want a black person to read prime time news, why would they want a black person to be the PM? Folks don't even know how racist the UK is. Yes, they smile with you and act all fake, but once you turn ya back, these folks might actually be the most racist folks on the planet. They already gave folks London, everything else is non-negotiable and they will always remind you in a subtle way. Chuka was just wasting his time before and Labour was also about to self-destruct. Good that both woke up at the right time.

The same thing was said about Obama but what happened. If and when he decides to be British PM, his party will be voted for on merit and not whether is it being led by a black man. We started from the bottom, now we're here.

Autolord:
An Igbo man will rule the United Kingdom very soon. Maybe not now but, very soon. Why are the Igbos taking over the world?

ShymmexOBE:


They wouldn't even let a Scottish man, Gordon Brown, win an election...but you think they will actually vote for a black person? English voters hold the ace, and they're mostly conservatives. A black person isn't even allowed to read prime time news, apart from late/early-morning news cos of the same people. You have to understand the dynamics of things and UK isn't America, and will never be. He has a better chance becoming the Mayor of London, than PM.

Blacks are ever present in America, even way before Obama. And Obama came in at the right time, for a purpose by some powers bigger than him - those were the people who pushed the button. Then the two system of government are different. Ditto Obama's charisma, eloquence and a lot of things Chuka lacks. That's just the reality. And he's too green - coupled with the timing in which the Labour Party is in disarray. The only chance Labour has right now is for the conservatives to self-destruct, with Labour positioning itself in a more attractive position, for English voters. They tried that with New Labour and Tony Blair destroyed it himself with his Iraq/Afghanistan war with George Bush. So they need another "joker" like that one, and Chuka lacks what Blair and his gang came with back then - Tony Blair was Obama before Obama when it comes to eloquence, articulation, charisma and swaying folks over with the power of the tongue.

Err, let's say Chuka hypothetically becomes Labour leader - immigration and son of an immigrant becoming the PM alone is enough to make him lose in England. And even folks from the far left, which happens to be Labour's base, don't even like him cos he's more of a middle-class guy than working-class

Afam4eva:

I agree that the UK and US are not the same as the latter is a more open society but never say never. It may be more difficult for Ummuna to become PM compared to Obama becoming US president but its still possible considering the fact that they currently have nothing to lose.

lazsnaira:

Beautiful analysis I must say!
But are you suggesting blacks should forget about becoming PM in Britain as they would never be voted for by the white majority?

Or are you saying that Umunna should, for the time being, concentrate on growing his political clout amongst the whites, so as to return stronger and better accepted to contest for the British PM?

I would agree with you on the latter, if that is your position.

Ralphlauren:

You are spot on Bro!

I can speak for the Scots, myself inclusive

If chuka ummuna had emerged as labour leader, they won't get more than 2,000 votes in scotland. Guaranteed !!!!

And yes, the labour party needs scotland for them to have any hope of governing UK again.

babaireti:

When they have lost relevance in their home front,foolish tribalistic people

ShymmexOBE:


Lmao...Scotland said fvck Labour - and SNP all the way. Shyte, you lot even elected a 22-year Uni student to kick Labour out - WTF?

Err, remember I said Lib Dem is dead and anyone voting for them is more or less wasting his/her vote - and I got it right. Just 8 seats - bwahahahahahaha. Muthaphuck Lib Dem for selling us a dream - payback time biatch!

ShymmexOBE:


Right now, it's a pipe dream - unless the conservatives self-destruct. And even if it were to happen, with the tangent the country is going, and arrival of SNP in national politics - a black person from the conservatives stands a better chance, but the person must be supremely anti-black (a coconut). The type of person with a black skin, but everything else has to be white and he/she must be racist to himself/herself (self-hater).
