It was the ultimate hospital pass.
They supposedly agreed to this over a meal in an Islington restaurant back in 1994. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair%E2%80%93Brown_d...
Tristram Hunt has finally accepted that a man called Tristram will never be elected leader of the Labour party. Perhaps he should have 'pulled a Gideon' and changed his name to Trevor.

Liz Kendall seems like an interesting candidate.

Labour leadership candidate Liz Kendall has warned the party not to cling to the “fantasy” that Britain has swung to the left, as she backed successful free schools and pledged to fight defence cuts.
Kendall, who is now the bookies’ second favourite to win behind Andy Burnham, ditched a number of the former Labour leader Ed Miliband’s policies at a lunch with journalists in Westminster on Thursday.
In a speech and Q&A session, Kendall did not hold back in criticising the party’s position going into the general election earlier this month.
Referring to the senior Labour MP Ed Balls losing his seat of Morley and Outwood, she said: “We lost our shadow chancellor ... but most people thought we had lost our balls before the election.”
The MP for Leicester West has previously made it clear that she would reverse Miliband’s opposition to holding an EU referendum and disagreed with his claims that Labour did not overspend the last time it was in power.
In a further distancing from his policies, Kendall said Miliband’s energy price freeze had not been believable, that she would not prioritise cutting tuition fees and the party should back any successful school, regardless of its structure.
She also argued the contest “cannot be about who the general secretaries say impresses them the most”, following reports that the trade unions have been pressurising Labour MPs to back Burnham.

bloody morons
They will end up with another left wing socialists leader who's speeches and election manifesto will scare the bejeezus out of businesses.
What they want is a slightly left Tory in a labour disguise like Blair was, but more likeable and less slimey.
And some common sense policy's

I know he can't run but we're lucky Balls isn't in with a shout,
He's just been on the BBC, still denying that his fiscal inadequacy in the later years of their 'reign' existed.
" .......even if we'd had a small surplus instead of a small (!) deficit, it wouldn't have made much difference."
Anyway, he's promised that he's out of politics now, let's hope that's not another lie.

if he thinks he is still telling the truth it might be time for the men in the little white coats to have a word .He's just been on the BBC, still denying that his fiscal inadequacy in the later years of their 'reign' existed.
