It is said that Lord Mandelson tried to persuade the three mainstream Labour leadership candidates to quit, in a bid to stop Jeremy Corbyn from winning the Labour leadership.
It was also suggested that Liz Kendall had urged Yvette Cooper to stand down, as it is believed that Andy Burnham is the only candidate who can win. However, Yvette Cooper refused to back down.
It is claimed that these attempts are in desperation to stop Jeremy Corbyn from succeeding Ed Miliband as the Labour leader in less than a months time.
