If little has been found against him in a whole election campaign as when he could have been the possible future Business secretary, then I doubt there is much to find in his life that would be really damaging.
The Sun, Mail and Telegraph could have easily done so,so that is an unfair presumption I would say.
He has withdrawn quickly, I am sad as to that.
However if he has already had the vision of how much his life is to be turned totally upside down,coupled with the announcement yesterday that it will be a 'longer' campaign for leader,rather than a short one,taking until September now.
That may have had him think, whoa,enough is enough.
He can actually,in my view, do a greater job, probably bringing businesses back to Labour as Shadow Business secretary than maybe he could ever do as Leader.
Plenty time also now too, for another chance to come in the future for him too.
