Pretty sure he was 25 or 33/1 for next PM a few weeks back. Thought it was a great price, had only seen him once or twice and he really does tick all the boxes. Think I have missed the boat mind. 2/1 is not so tempting.
He's an emotional prima donna, Rob, another disastrous mistake waiting to happen for the Labour party. How did you get on with the audiobooks by the way?

Next time you hear him interviewed listen how many times he says errr, watch how you can see his brain ticking over and listen to his terrible fake laugh

In 2013 he was forced to apologise after being accused of hypocrisy when he accepted a £20,000 gift from a gambling executive, while he was campaigning against the growing number of betting shops in his constituency of Streatham.

He can certainly trot out the mantra that Immigrants have "culturally enriched" the country (although we never seem to hear about the vast majority who obviously haven't) but he is ever so shy about telling us exactly how many more he'd like here.
I wouldn't expect that to change anytime soon.

What are your thoughts on this interview on the BBC where Andrew Neil takes Umuna apart with some soft enough questions:

He's a lightweight snake oil salesman. I fear for our democracy if he gets the nomination. Labour will be reduced to a rump and we do need effective opposition.

You know when you see those obvious knock offs and they can't even get the name right? Girls buying Prado bags and trying to change the O to an A because it was cheap. That's what Umuna reminds me of. He's a very poor Blair clone. Suck the charisma and style out and leave the shifty bits in and you've got Chuka.

It honestly never crossed my mind and it remained a non issue until two seconds after he announced he was running for Labour leader and he's suddenly from nowhere holding hands with his supposed "girlfriend" out for a totally unscripted walk in the park. The deceit is pretty shoddy lets be honest but it's the taking the electorate for fools which is so galling.
If you love the cocck you love the cocck. I don't care. It's the 21st century. Anybody thinking of voting for Chuka The Spooner is going to be far more concerned with his smarmy shiit eating grin and snake oil tactics than if he's swallowed gallons of spooge and if that is the case and an issue for him then he shouldn't be putting himself forward.

The comparisons with Barrack Obama are inevitable.
Both had black fathers who abandoned them. Both have law degrees. Both are disastrous on immigration. Both get an easy ride from the press.
Obama has been lionised here in Europe,he is above criticism,he even managed to win the Nobel Peace Prize whilst engaged in three separate wars. The fawning press here called him elegant,beautiful,an antelope and most nauseatingly a rainbow.
If you want a glimpse of the future listen to Edwina Currie on Question Time with Will Self discussing the preening Chuka.

Says a lot about the Labour party, another career politician in it for all the wrong reasons, and had no concept of being in the limelight??????, but would like to be Prime minister one day, FFS. Still he can always go back to his old job soliciting money from people.

Given the level of intrusion these days, I wonder why anyone bothers to get elected to high office.

The signs were always there. Chuka Umunna has always been an emotional prima donna and likely to bail at the first hint of pressure, his departure a small measure of good news for a beleaguered Labour party. Not that they'll make the most of it, of course, self-destruction seems to be a speciality.

Joking aside if it is because he's gay then that's sad. I wouldn't have voted for him because I think he's a snake oil salesman. I don't care who he sleeps with though. Within reason. If I saw him the graveyard at night with a shovel I'd have to think twice.

Well if Chuka (who wants a leader with a name like that) really has pulled out because he doesn’t want it publicised he's a closet fudgepacker then don’t think he’s that clever for tossing his helmet into the ring in the first place. All the candidates so far seem to me to be perennial losers especially that chipper Northern idiot who drones on and on about the NHS in a strange accent.

Well one thing,at least Andy Burnham has proved he has some integrity about him,a quality not to be underestimated with the electorate amongst the sea of filth in which he swims,a hint of integrity is absolutely golden in this age imo.
Who do people think has more integrity,Burnham or Cameron?

It isn't in the least how I judge him. I made the point that this was the one thing which came to mind. I'm a great believer in the concept that parliament is the meeting place for 650 people who represent the interests of their individual constituencies and I've always voted on the basis of who I think is the best person standing in my constituency.
You can't get away from the evidence though. Our system becomes ever more Presidential and one of the reasons a perfectly decent man in Ed Milliband didn't connect with the public is they just didn't see him as a high office let alone the highest office kind of person.
Which is what concerns me about Burnham. He may well be a very decent man but is he a leader of men and women? Is he someone the country will believe in? You may say we don't know and to some extent that may be true but the harsh truth is that in 15 years in parliament he has risen without trace. He has neither held a great office of state nor been a shadow for a great office of state. That suggests to me that amongst his peers he is seen as a safe pair of hands but not a big hitter.
He ay be the best of those being touted. I don't know but I'm not at all convinced he's good enough or that the country will think him so. Maybe he's Milliband without the charisma.

Chuka Umunna, a rising star of the shadow Cabinet, faces embarrassment after it emerged he received a £20,000 gift from an emeritus gambling executive at the same time as campaigning against the proliferation of betting shops in his constituency.
Mr Umunna, who is widely regarded as a future Labour leader, accepted the donation from Neil Goulden, the chairman emeritus of the Gala C*ral Group, which owns more than 1,700 bookmakers.
The shadow Business Secretary was accused of hypocrisy by the Tories for accepting the money. They pointed out he recently ran a campaign in his south London seat of Streatham in which he promised “new powers to control the number of betting shops”.
Mr Goulden spent 10 years as managing director, chief executive and chairman of Gala Coral and still acts as a consultant to the group.
Mr Umunna registered the gift last month and said he would use it to support his office and contribute towards staff costs.
A spokesman said: “This donation was made by an individual Labour Party supporter in a personal capacity and was accepted in accordance with the rules and properly declared.”
Mr Umunna, who is a close ally of Ed Miliband, has faced a series of controversies in recent months which supporters blame Conservative headquarters for generating.
They include the disclosure that in 2006 he protested that some London nightspots “seem to be full of trash and C-list wannabes”. Days later his office was accused of adding comparisons with Barack Obama to his Wikipedia entry.

There's not one potential winner amongst the candidates so far declared.Labour look to be in real trouble and maybe there's no future for the party in which case it may as well just fold. Wonder if they'll consider begging Blair to come back.
