Their call to nursery providers for ideas about how to increase the number of funded hours for three-year-olds from fifteen to thirty, in line with their manifesto promise, seems emblematic of their quandary."

Professor Wyn Grant is Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. Commenting on the latest developments in the labour leadership contest, he said,

"With voting starting in the Labour leadership contest, Jeremy Corbyn seems to have momentum over the other candidates. The intervention by Gordon Brown, which did not mention Jeremy Corbyn by name, may give long-term Labour members some pause for thought, but will have little influence on the young people who have joined up or become affiliates, inspired by the Corbyn crusade. For them, electability is secondary to staying true to what they see as authentic core Labour values."
