Chuka Umunna withdraws Labour leader bid.

"Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna withdraws from the Labour leadership race, citing the level of pressure and scrutiny that comes with being a candidate."

Good job really. Doesn't show an awful lot of forward planning or understanding required of a leader. It's only been 3 days since he threw his hat into the ring.

You've got to wonder what the real reason is though.
Perhaps the word "Scrutiny" had something to do with his decision !!!!!
Apparently the press were knocking on doors of his family members having found out their addresses. This included his 102 year old grandmother. Nothing has been learnt from the hacking scandal and thanks to Cameron' s cowardly behaviour the press will remain unregulated.
I don't think there is any scandal here. Frankly I don't blame him. His family should not have their lives invaded like this.
Somehow I knew it would end being the fault of the conservatives. ^o)
I wonder what you would feel if 90% of the press constantly vilified the Tory party. Don't you think the press should be regulated after hacking a dead girls mobile? Or do you think they should be allowed to get away with whatever they want to do to get a scoop?
For a lot of the reasons you identify, I don't read the papers (who does these days?), but most of them switch their allegiance to whoever they think stands the best chance of winning.

I don't think that phone hacking was the domain of purely right leaning papers and I don't get how Cameron is responsible for phone hacking either.

Anyway, I watch the entirely balanced views of the BBC. Or are they biased towards the conservatives as well? I'd heard it was the other way around.

Cameron has refused to back the Leveson enquiries proposals for press regulation. Why do you think that is? Why do you think Murdoch's papers tried to destroy Miliband? I'm sure Miliband's desire for press regulation had nothing to do with it!!!!!
It was refreshing to see Miliband not being in Murdoch's back pocket. In fairness to John Major he was the last leading politician prior to Miliband who wasn't owned by the press.

Its also laughable that the BBC is in any way left wing. It is very much part of the establishment and fawns over the Royal family whilst being biased towards keeping the Union in place.

BBC is about as middle ground as it gets. In some ways I think they give too much time to the less represented parties just to be 'fair'.

Majority of traditional press is Right Wing. Majority of social media is Left Wing.

I reckon Andy Burnham is up against it in the leadership challenge. He is, currently, one of four candidates, the other three being women. If it remained just those four candidates, and Burnham won, Labour would probably be accused of sexism, and they wouldn't want that to happen.

Burnhams best hope is that Tristram Hunt throws his hat into the ring to balance things up a bit.

I think Burnham is odds on Keith. I'd be amazed if he lost from here.

So he's gone has he? Not that it will make much difference, Labour could elect the Archangel Gabriel as their leader in Scotland, but it still wouldn't be enough to beat the SNP !!!!

He's resigning at the end of the month. He narrowly survived a motion of no confidence though (17-14).
