BBC Take on Jezza's current hardships. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34844762 Personally I wonder what he's actually thinking. Whether he's thinking "Jesus, this is shit, I wish I could just slip back to the back benches", or whether he's got a plan and Believes he'll transform the Labour Party in his image... From a personal standpoint, my view when he was elected was "none of the others have remotely convinced me they are worth voting for, let this bloke stir things up a bit, and then get a new, sensible but slightly left of New Labour leader". But I'd underestimated just how nasty things could get WITHIN the party (I was only 5 in 1983).
