Growing Dissent in the Labour Ranks

It is usual in a third term for ex-ministers to denounce the leadership of their Government, but what really puts the Prime Ministers low popularity into perspective is when prospective Labour candidates in a by-election, not very far from here (Blaenau Gwent), try and distance themselves from the Labour Administration Live on National television. Perhaps they should consider standing as independents, they might stand a better chance of being elected then.
