Last Chance Liz

No one would have felt any need of Jeremy Corbyn on the ballot if the previously unknown Liz Kendall had not been put there by the viscerally anti-Labour media.

The Labour Movement is itself again after the recent General Election, because there is no one else left in it. It does not like Murdoch-sponsored candidates, and it does not like queue-jumpers.

Even the Outer Right, which did not begin with Tony Blair, is no doubt annoyed at Kendall for having barged onto Andrew Neil's and Robbie Gibb's programme within a couple of days of the Election.

She was hardly their best chance. But she is now their last chance.

John Woodcock could have given it a much better go, and that without breaking any honour code that he himself will have enforced mercilessly in the NUS.

It is no wonder that he is in such a strop. He will not be the only one. Indeed, like many of you, I know for a fact that he is not the only one.
