Andy Burnham has that polished look that drives the superficial to vote, I know he was looked over in the last leadership race, but I think he could take it to them.
Personally being a Green voter I wouldn't mind if Caroline Lucas defected over, she is strong, principled with the ability to tap into the leftwing, being in a more mainstream party. Granted it would weaken the Greens but it already became significantly weaker when she stepped down from the leadership and left Natalie Bennett in charge.

Andy is well out of all these shennanigans , yes he does have the ' look ' of a modern politician , probably the best of who is now available , but he has timed his Manchester bid to perfection , maybe he'll have one last chance in 5/6 years time

Maybe Corb's will call it a day now he's had his '15 mins of fame' on the Iraq stage which he's waited years for.

The conspiracy theorist in me always wondered if they wanted him out before this so that he wouldn't have 'apologised' on behalf of the Labour party.
All those MP's still protect that grining gobshite

Best thing Labour could do is encourage Gove to cross the floor assuming his Tory leadership bid fails. Given his desire for social mobility and justice, he could give Labour some purpose. Not only that he is a good operator and would destroy May in the Commons.

How anyone can like or believe a word that odious little sh/t says or even find a speck of likability in his horrifically patronising demeanour is beyond me.

Gove makes Theresa May seem likeable and Tony Blair seem trustworthy.

Christ on a bike - it doesn't get more twee than that; from the ever so humble (former hedge fund exec) 'Tory Mum.'

I note that she doesn't add any gay ingredients to her delightful recipe - she's not at all keen on them.
