    In an interesting interview with The Guardian Labour’s shadow business secretary has talked, rather a lot, about the importance of being grounded.

    He says he has a FAF phone for Friends and Family so they can contact him and keep him grounded. “There is a danger in believing your own hype,” he says.

    He also gives and intriguing answer to his leadership ambitions: “You have just got to keep your feet firmly on the ground and that’s why I don’t really indulge in that chat.” Which is not a no.

    He also said he would bring Conservative Michael Heseltine in as an adviser in a future Labour government on city regeneration.
