On Sunday Politics Tristram Hunt said this.
"It's a very tough decision to leave Stoke on Trent but being the Director of the V & A museum was my dream job. It was not something that I could turn down. I have had differences with Jeremy in the past but I now want to be a museum director, an impartial director of a great museum and so IT'S NOT THE TIME TO REHEARSE THOSE DIFFERENCES NOW'
A good job came up, he should not embarrass that position so needs to keep his head down and shut up ( he has been very vocal over Corbyn and Momentum), he didn't like the boss and he did what most of us would do scarper, especially as he was probably going to loose the opportunity of being an MP either by a deselection challenge (Momentum target) or loosing one of the MP's seats in that area due to boundary changes.
I think the link provided was a good summation by the way.
I was pleased to read something in the link I did not know and should give hope to 'some' Labour supporters, although others will obviously not see it the same way if they are on the Momentum side of the track.
'Developments at a constituency level have also been more encouraging for the moderates. As I reported to you before Christmas, non-Corbynites have been prevailing at annual general meetings of local parties by securing key posts in constituencies. This matters, not least because this is the first line of defence against attempts to deselect MPs. Since I last reported to you, I’ve collected more examples of how these local struggles are playing out. A striking one comes from the London constituency of Vauxhall. Paul Mason, one of Jeremy Corbyn’s most prominent media advocates, stood for a position on the local party’s general committee. He was defeated. By a delicious irony, he was beaten by someone who used to be a member of the SDP, the now defunct party that split from Labour when it lurched to the left in the 1980s.'
Paul Mason is loved by some but I could never distance his Trotsky links (from the horses mouth ) from main stream media and TV. He certainly has been a mouth piece for Corbyn and Momentum hasn't he.
