Why today, why now why the rush!?

“And there is the small matter of the Labour leadership” that was the Sky News roll this evening….., which is expected considering all the political wheeling and dealing going on today.

So why did Ed Miliband announce his leadership bid today of all days, is he hoping to stand unopposed or do they get a prizes for announcing first in the Labour Party? Regardless his timing was off.

Furthermore, with the political centre so overly crowded Labour will be wise to pick someone who is more on the far left like Jon Cruddas.
