It would have been time consuming enough coping with a govt; department let alone the campaigning and endless attention and speeches she would have to give running for leader.

Miliband changed the Union rules on voting for the leader now too so that there is no block vote now in election of the Labour leader,
Your hate of Labour is badly clouding your judgement.

Rachel would have been a great leader in my view, however I can fully understand her putting her family first, especially as to a new baby too.
Being a govt; Minister, had Labour won, would have been far easier to cope with with a team behind her, than running for leader then becoming leader.

You were actually aware Rachel was heavily pregnant weren't you.

Yes they did
But the Unions are still in charge of picking the next leader
they invest in Labour

Deal With that.
