LABOUR'S leadership election was always going to be a marathon rather than a sprint — but the pace maintained by the surviving runners has quickened.
So far all of the contenders are proving to be not quite as they initially appeared. For all Emily Thornberry's straight-talking persona and quick-witted confidence her failure to gain traction, secure any trade-union support or attract enough constituency nominations made her spirited performance look a bit forced. And now she is out.
A shame really because, like Keir Starmer, she should naturally attract support from the right-wing of Labour, a significant if not dominant tendency, that by some accounts is reinforced by returning Blairites and others more in line with the traditional Labour right.
