Two stories dominate Labour’s leadership election, firstly, the Trot & Tory hunt but secondly a return to politics by the Burnham & Cooper. The membership hunt was kicked off by John Mann MP’s speech complaining about entryism and long term members being swamped; just as well he’s not shadow spokesperson on Immigration. Cooper argues for investment in Science, Burnham has changed his mind and will now take the railways back into public ownership and both of them argue for a Graduate Tax to replace student loans. Certainly it’s a better approach than describing your rival’s as mad, morons, a virus or needing a heart transplant. Ooops there I go again, taking us back to the muck.
