The next Labour candidate?

Before the Holyrood elections are even complete, the likely Labour candidate for Westminster (and there's a kiss of death) is heading towards the starting block.

And a strong and very good candidate he is too, if I haven't just killed his chances dead. No doubt his nomination is being held until the outcome in May is known and either (1) a lamb is sought for the slaughter, or (2) a potentially crowded field has to be trimmed.

Don't bother trying to fish for the name. No matter how hard you trawl, I'm not saying.
