After refusing to throw his hat into the Labour leadership ring in last years election competition, Jarvis now appears to be suggesting he would like the job after all.

No doubt welcome news for the Blairite contingent labelled 'moderates' but the almost universally anti-Corbyn media, who have also undermined the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn since his election.
