Gee, sounds like team Mitch wrote that concession speech. Very much mirrors what Mitch said a few days ago.

Interesting how Bevin goes out of his way to wish best of luck to new AG Cameron, Mitch’s handpicked candidate for that position. On the surface it sounds like complete compilation to Mitch, underneath, kind of sinister vibration.

Sounds as if Bevin’s own party weren’t all that keen on defending an unpopular guy in a tough election year, especially if there was some price to be paid.
