If this is the best that Labour has got then we are in trouble. I am not sure Andy grabbing the microphone to talk about his leadership ambitions is really going to help in combatting Reform.

Labour need Reform to be the main threat at the next election. If the Conservatives become a credible political party again, Labour will be toast. They need to be able to provide voters with a clear choice, Labour or Reform. It is the only route to a second term.

One of our country's problems is the poor quality of our media. They should not be exempt from criticism. There are good journalists at the BBC but they tend not to reach the most senior positions.
