Tim - your post is a slur on Tribune.Its readers may be more on the left, the paper's leader column  is certainly  no fan of the Govt  but Tribune actually runs  fair pieces on all wings of the Party.Vis a vis "establishment" candidates, Ian Stewart's voting record is v similar to  Barbara Keeley.He's no lefty.But he's a (heaven forfend) more working-class, traditional Labour type.Let's be clear.
There are plenty of shenanigans of this  kind going on all over the country. Always have been but in recent years its hasbecome utterly unacceptable. Hopefully, once the chief architects of New labour have been seen off,they will end and canidates will be judged purely on merit.I live in hope.
