WANNABE leader Rebecca Long Bailey is seen by voters as Jeremy in a skirt, a devastating analysis of Labours election defeat found.

The Corbynista bombs with all-important floating voters who deserted the party to back the Tories or Lib Dems at the election, says a Diagnosis of Defeat report by Lord Ashcroft.

Ms Long Bailey is commonly seen as out of touch and out of depth, the poll found.

The results came in a wide-ranging review into the Labour election flop carried out by polling guru Lord Ashcroft.

The report blames Labours catastrophic defeat on Jeremy Corbyns unpopularity and their muddled Brexit stance.

Lord Ashcrofts poll of over 10,000 voters found that 60 per cent of them thought Labour deserved to lose.

CORBYN’S A ‘NUMPTY’

Those who deserted Labour in the 2019 vote were most likely to blame Mr Corbyns leadership for their switching.

They lashed his links with terrorists in the IRA and Hezbollah and branded him a numpty, the report found.

Ex Labour voters complained the party had become hijacked by middle class radicals.

And three quarters of those who switched from Labour to the Tories warned the party will need to change very significantly before Ill consider voting for them again.

The devastating post mortem came after Mr Corbyn led Labour to their worst election defeat since 1935.

The leadership race is now down Sir Kier Starmer, Lisa Nandy, Emily Thornberry and Rebecca Long-Bailey
