Rebecca Long-Bailey was reportedly given a tense welcome at the leadership hustings on Tuesday evening. While the current leadership's attempts to flood the Parliamentary party with hard left loyalists succeeded to some degree, many moderates remain and their anger grows. Long-Bailey's interview with ITV earlier in the day probably added to the discord as she not only stood by Corbyn, but when pushed said she would give him "ten out of ten" for his leadership. She then lashed out at the media and appeared to completely exonerate Corbyn of any responsibility whatsoever. There is no doubt that what we have here is the continuity candidate - long may she reign!
