Chuka Umunna withdraws Labour leader bid From the sectionUK Politics please log in to view this image Mr Umunna said he was worried about the impact of his leadership bid on those close to him Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna has withdrawn from the Labour party leadership contest, just days after throwing his hat into the ring. The MP, 36, said in a statement that he was not comfortable with the level of pressure and scrutiny that came with being a leadership candidate. Mr Umunna also cited concerns about the impact of the bid on his family. The BBC's Nick Robinson says Mr Umunna has been distressed by the level of scrutiny on him and his family. A rising star of the party, Mr Umunna was first elected to Parliament in 2010 before joining the shadow cabinet. He confirmed his candidacy for the Labour leadership via a post on his Facebook page on 12 May, saying the party under Ed Miliband had failed to appeal to enough voters in England. But in a statement on Friday he said he had not found the leadership bid to be "a comfortable experience". please log in to view this image Analysis, by BBC political editor Nick Robinson please log in to view this image I understand that Chuka Umunna has told friends that "this is not right for me or people close to me. I'm human, the rest of my life is more important to me than politics." The shadow business secretary has been distressed by the degree of scrutiny he, his family and his girlfriend have come under since he declared his intention to stand for the labour leadership. I am told that this includes reporters waiting outside the houses of relatives late at night. Friends of Mr Umunna deny that he is nervous of not getting the support of enough MPs to run for the leadership, they point out that he already has half the necessary names and that there are some weeks to go. The shadow business secretary now wants to play a leading role in arguing that Britain should stay in the EU and does not rule out seeking the leadership in the future. He said he thought he understood "the scrutiny and attention a leadership contest would bring", but added: "However, since the night of our defeat last week I have been subject to the added level of pressure that comes with being a leadership candidate." The shadow business secretary said he had wondered if it was too soon for him to stand for the leadership, and "I fear it was."
no the only thing you can say about it is in this country the politicians will fall on swords when caught. Obviously he was worried he was going to get found out.
