He's the only one left standing of the people who finished ahead of him though. You might be right though that they'll go for someone 'untainted' so to speak by anything that has happened before, although it could also work in his favour if he and Yvette Cooper are the only ones standing with a lot of experience, and his left-wing credentials could get him the Union vote.
I was surprised Dan Jarvis ruled himself out so quickly, he could have been a real contender
