Just been listening to a remarkably moderate sounding Len McCluskey and Mary Creagh on John Pienaar's BBC radio programme. Don't you just love it how a taste of defeat appears to moderate some of those union leaders with fairly extreme views. If only it were in any way sincere...

As for Mary Creagh, as expected, she was passed the leadership election ball and fumbled it badly IMHO. In referenece to Miliband's 'ed stone', the vague 'promises' thereon and Labour's failure to connect with enough of the electorate, she was asked what single policy she felt could have transformed the party's fortunes. Her answer was to forget the promise to slash tuition fees and to give all students free bus passes. With visionary policies like that can anyone see her leading the party to election success... :rolleyes:

As for Umunna's expose, well from what I've seen, the worst that can be said is that he appears to rather like living the life of a typical public school Tory toff whilst trying to appear to be another of those Labour 'men of the people' like Mandelson.

Nothing too outrageous then but given the never ending criticism bile the typical Tory toff attracts from Labour politicians, I'd say privately emulating their lavish lifestyles isn't likely to go down very well with the workers whose side you're supposedly on and whose problems you claim you sooooo empathise with.

Why is it that Labour 'socialists' love champagne?

Exposed! Chuck-it-in Chuka's shady secret: Labour MP belongs to members-only 'den' where he has his own £300 cognac locker and a bar named after him - so is this what rattled leadership contender?

Idiots on twitter retweeting a picture of champagne being delivered in Downing street as illustration of Tory toffs living it up after the election when the picture ACTUALLY came from 2004. :rolleyes:

Here are some polls done after the election by YouGov and the Sunday Times.

Ten pages later and still no answer. WHO will lead the Labour Party? None of those mentioned so far are any good. Andy Burham seemed to think he was at a job interview on Andrew Marr this morning.

Looks like a continuity candidate is all that's on offer at the moment unless UKIP lend them Nigel Farage :)

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
 
Well I have my vote for this particular election. Hope it works out well. Government is way better with a decent opposition to press them.

I give it about a month before I am kicked out of the Party, mind. I suspect I'm way too small 'l' liberal.

Shame Hilary Benn ruled himself out.
