Chuka Umunna wheels out his girlfriend for the first time as Labour leadership race gets nasty

Chuka Umunna wheels out his girlfriend as Labour leadership race gets nasty
The shadow business secretary was pictured walking hand-in-hand with his glamorous lawyer partner Alice Sullivan (pictured) ahead of his interview on the BBC's flagship Andrew Marr show this morning. Mr Umunna used the interview to criticise Labour's drift to the left and admitted he was considering a bid become leader. His intervention came after Labour's leadership battle descended into open warfare after Mr Umunna and the other leadership contenders were accused of 'behaving like family members taking jewellery off a corpse' by openly criticising Mr Miliband so soon after the election defeat. Blairite front-benchers Tristram Hunt (top right) and Liz Kendal (bottom right) joined Mr Umunna in criticising Labour's disastrous campaign today, after the party suffered its worst election defeat in almost 30 years.
