I don't believe sexuality is an inherent qualification in itself
Yvette Cooper, capable operator but not the answer IMV. I think Reeves is the likliest option (ducks for cover etc)
No, but could swing things for him over a woman. Would represent progress and would be historic. But the pressure to finally pick a woman may well prove too much to stop. Nandy will also have a good shout.
Being an affable Northern bloke (who likes The Smiths, Stone Roses, New Order, etc) is unlikely to cut it in 2022. Might have swung things 10 years ago...
