The Leadership Contest

As we finally stagger towards the two-thirds mark in an internal election that has taken twice as long as the national one, David Fish has drawn my attention to several interesting recent articles in the New Statesman.

First, Peter Wilby's column from July 30 has a bit of a pop at Harriet and a non-knee-jerk response to rise of Jeremy Corbyn.

Next, Helen Lewis on the dangers of over-reliance on social media.  And finally Mary Creagh MP (who, if I can remember that far back, was once briefly a candidate) on the sudden 'toxicity' of the middle ground.

Many thanks, David.
