Former favourite Umunna backs Kendall for leader
LIZ KENDALL was dubbed the Labour leadership candidate of right-wing entryist group Progress yesterday after being backed by four leading Blairites.
Chuka Umunna, who had been a bookies’ favourite before pulling out, was among a group of shadow cabinet members who said that Ms Kendall was the candidate who could move the party “beyond our comfort zone.”
Stephen Twigg, Jonathan Reynolds and Emma Reynolds also gave their endorsements through a New Statesman article.
