What's the point of Jon Cruddas?

Just a quick thought - for the life of me, I can't see the point of Jon Cruddas' campaign for the Labour Deputy Leadership, or who he thinks he's kidding with this leftish veneer that he seems to be putting on his challenge. There again, he seems to have got some people all excited.

If you wanna vote for a Blairite, you might as well vote for a real one. If, on the other hand, you want to back the left, there's only one challenger who merits the label, and he's going for the leadership, not the deputy's spot.
