Really interesting news. I think she'd make for a very strong
candidate.


Plus Diane Abbott for leader of the Labour Party?


No. [...]


FWIW I think Andy Burnham looks like quite an interesting candidate
for the leadership.


Not sure why you think Oona King would be a strong candidate, unless
you mean "likely to get the nomination".

As Mayor, a CV on the lines of "I'll agree that pink is blue if Tony
Blair says so" doesn't make her look like the kind of independent
character that is needed to stand up for London, or stand up for
anything.
