Burnham Waffle - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph: Reports " Andy Burnham: Labour's base has crumbled - we can't take anything for granted now..Andy Burnham, once the favourite to lead Labour, says his formidable rival Jeremy Corbyn isn't to blame for the party's crisis  "

Lets Get Real:

One gets the impression that Mr Burnham is a Northern Ed Miliband, the favourite at the start of the election he has seen his base of support move to Mr Corbyn.    IF Andy Burnham had fire in his belly it has gone very quite, you have to want the Labour leadership and you do what you have to do when it comes to taking the prize,  that means getting your hands dirty if you want to lead.    IF this blog had a choice it would be Liz Kendall, she comes from the right wing of the Party, but that base has become narrowed after Gordon Brown came in to power.   Interesting month ahead for Labour. 

Brown to ATTACK Corbyn !! - Labour Leadership Contest

Guardian: Reports " Gordon Brown to speak on Labour leadership as MPs panic over Corbyn..Labour MPs – among whom support for Corbyn is low – pushing for an intervention from Brown, who they believe has more credibility than Tony Blair "

Lets Get Real:

Lets see if former Prime Minister Gordon Brown can BRING the Labour Party to its senses, the former PM was very effective in Scotland when they had their vote if they wanted to remain part of the UK.   THE question is has the old New Labour hands left it to late to change the course of the leadership election.   The BIG MO is behind Corbyn, it almost like the Labour Party has given up on government for the future and is looking to be politically pure.   THERE is a cost to being pure, you're not in government and its not fun being in the opposition for two decades. 

New Labour Attacks Corbyn - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn is the political version of SUSAN BOYLE who people feel they 'have to back', says Alastair Campbell  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Mr Campbell strikes, his article of yesterday and now this, the old New Labour creators must be really worried, they have the Iraq Report to come and and now this, one can see Mr Corbyn throwing Blair etc out of the Labour Party if the Iraq report is damaging. If you're a Conservative you are having a good time, Labour tearing itself apart, lets have more fun, one can only wish that Mr Corbyn wins, then the Conservative Party will not face any real opposition in till 2025.  Even if one of the others win the Party has moved to the left, being left might make the Labour Party members happy but it will not win elections.  There is an old saying, be careful for what you wish for, it might happen.
