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...
