Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has become the first MP to officially enter the race to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.
Writing in the Guardian, she said the next leader needed to have "the political nous and strategic vision to reunite our party".
Oh well - Guardian readers may just about swallow that but I have my doubts. Maybe one fine day the light will dawn, but I don't think so.

What's interesting about Lady Nugee is the fact that whereas other potential candidates such as Jess Phillips and the Burgon bloke are genuinely coarse and stupid, she seems to work hard at copying their style. Perhaps she thinks that the working man will be attracted to someone who reminds them of a cheap foul-mouthed barmaid.
Just flicked through her Wiki.
Not impressed at the content, which must be re-edited every few minutes.
If Labour want a sort of Blair socialite type, then Islington's the place to bring them on.
100 seats at the next GE?
Sam - yes, she's like a snob pretending not very successfully to be a standard Labour oaf.
Scrobs - 100 seats at the next GE would be excellent because then the party might reform itself.
They're finished - the reactions to their defeat show such denials of the true reasons for the rout I don't believe they will be able to reform sufficiently to be electable.
A new party is needed to oppose Boris' lot, which needs to be centre-left (whatever that means) and appeal to the voters Corbyn's gang have lost. Otherwise Boris will continue for 10 -15 years.
Having the snobbish & supercilious Lady Nougat as leader would ensure this. Perhaps the Lib-Dems (if only they could become both liberal and democratic), could become the main opposition - it's unlikely Labour led by any of the hapless would-be leaders will ever recover.
Ed - I agree, if only the Lib Dems become liberal and democratic they could indeed end up as the main opposition. It's an opportunity.
