Signs of light in the Labour tunnel

The "return of Mandy" caught me as unawares as it did everyone else and I am yet to be convinced that it is the right move in terms of what he will actually do, but it does offer four wee signs of hope;

• That Gordon is willing to be brave and bold
• That Gordon is willing to be decisive; (at last!)
• That Gordon understands that unity in the party is more important that his own personal animosities and will act accordingly
  
• and most importantly... the announcement happened with precious few leaks with none that happened in a manner that damaged the power of the decisions
  

Whatever Mandy might or might not do in office, this state of affairs feels a whole lot better than recent times
