Well, she has left the race for Labour leader.

She was always the lesser of two Eagles...

See no Eagle, hear no Eagle, speak no Eagle.

What is it with politicians these days? Set up a situation and then run away when it looks like you're actually going to have to deal with getting what you wanted.

All hail Owen Smith, Labour's new overlord - he literally cannot be any worse than Corbyn

I'm glad she's out, she reminded me of an even more annoying version of me.

It's all (excuse the term) politics isn't it? She knows she won't win, so backs the guy she thinks she'll win so she gets a decent role in the next shadow cabinet by getting her backers to back him....nothing to do with getting the right person for the job.

Politics stinks but that's the way it is.
