IMHO, Umunna has the potential to be another Bliar - a triumph of presentation over substance who looks good in a suit. He also ticks the obvious cultural/ethnic minority boxes which Labour are obsessed with. There's no doubt in my mind that he'd be the PR guru's choice but if Labour are going to try to appeal to the ordinary man, it'd be nice if their leader at least resembled one of them and could command at least some respect for getting his/her hands dirty in the real world.
