The new intake of Labour MPs appears already to be showing that whoever becomes Leader may face certain problems that they will need to address.
Zarah Sultana, the new MP for Coventry South, appears to use "white" as an insult rather than a description. Coventry Council thinks that more than 70% of the City's population is white. Telling the majority of your constituents that you don't like them because of their race probably isn't politically very sensible and her words are unlikely to appeal to those parts of the country where the majority of people are white.
Some of the other language she has used, also appears be very confrontational in a way that I suspect many people find deeply unattractive.
Already I have attended that a Labour Party meeting reviewing the General Election defeat which left me with the feeling that many Labour members still don't "get" the scale of the rejection by the voters.
