What a great idea for Labour’s leadership contest – test each of them out at PMQs
I hope Labour allows all the leadership contenders to take it in turns at PMQs before the vote…

Given that the weekly slot at PMQs is such an important platform for the leader of the opposition then the idea being promoted by Dr Will Jennings seems a very good plan. How will each of them perform one week at a time against Cameron?
Will they be able to think on their feet? How will they cope with the crescendo of noise? What questions will they choose to ask? Labour should give this a try.
Looking at the election timetable there would appear to be ample time before the summer break for each to have a slot.
