Beyond Their Ken
Just as, if Cameron was so frightened of David Miliband, then why did the right-wing press and the Cameron-worshipping BBC want him to win, so why did they want Oona King to win if she posed the slightest realistic threat to Boris Johnson?

Ken's re-election will effectively be for life.
