Labour is really spoilt for choice in the contest for the next party leader and possible next Prime Minister.

Any Oxford Mail reader who joins the Labour Party by August 12, member or supporter, can have a say in who that next leader will be.

Hundreds of people in the Oxford area have already rushed to join Labour after the disappointing General Election result. Only with a strong opposition, led by Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall, Jeremy Corbyn or Andy Burnham will this country be able to face the future with any kind of hope.

All Labour’s leadership candidates are united in wanting to build a fairer, more prosperous society for the many, not just the few. Any one of them would beat Mr Cameron and his posh friends into a cocked hat.
