Liz Kendall Favourites Tweet That Brands Her A Conservative

Liz Kendall's campaign to become leader of the Labour Party has stumbled in recent days.

But the Leicester West MP has proved she's still in the race -- and that she has a sense of humour -- by favouriting a tweet that branded her a member of the Conservative party.

Eagle-eyed Twitter users quickly noted the now-deleted favourite -- of a tweet which read: "Thank God - Liz Kendall admitted to taking drugs at college... at least that explains how she forgot she's actually a Tory...."

The favourite was soon deleted from Kendall's account
