One question haunts the party’s leadership race: whether contenders are only saying what members want to hear
Chuka Umunna’s description of the Labour party “behaving like a petulant child who has been told you can’t have the sweeties in the sweet shop” in the summer of 2015 was a somewhat crude summation of what became the prevailing attitude of Jeremy Corbyn’s internal opponents. While they would happily accept that thumbing their noses at the public for rejecting Labour was counterproductive, they never applied the same logic to their own party’s membership, too often regarding them as a delusional, ideologically crazed cult.
