Euan Blair for Labour?

As Tim Stanley has pointed out in the Telegraph today( fw.to/4qDi6mi  ), there's something of a family vibe to Labour's front bench:

• Harriet Harman and Jack Dromey, husband and wife.

• Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper, husband and wife.

• Angela and Maria Eagle, twin sisters.

• Even the party's current leader fought his brother in the leadership elections (David and Ed Miliband)

Now we have the young Euan Blair, wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, and is being offered a nice safe seat of Bootle (good luck to the people of Bootle).

Lord Prescott's son David is also joining the 2015 Labour race, as well as Neil Kinnok's son Stephen, and Jack Straw's son Willl.

I don't mind people following in the footsteps of their parents, the only problem I'm finding is the hypocrisy.

Labour have championed themselves on the being the party for the working classes, how sincere are these wanna-be MP's?

Do they have genuine desire to help the poor? Or are they going to ride of the back of the success of their parents? 

Surely the Labour leadership should want people from working class backgrounds to be standing? Not those who have lived the life of Riley, and aren't actually that aware of what it's like to be living on the breadline.

However, if Euan Blair, and co do enter into politics, they will be closely watched by the press, I'm sure their every move will be scrutinised, so good luck to them in that sense.

I just hope they aren't wanting a quick pass to the front bench, it'll go to show how badly run the Labour party really is, and how the Labour leadership have forgotten the reason why the party was started over a 100 years ago.
