Brown’s unofficial official campaign begins

Labour MPs are being canvassed to vote for Brown as the rumour spreads that Blair will resign on 9th May. The Guardian has some initial figures of support giving:

Brown - 217 MPs

McDonnell - 40 MPs

Meacher - 3 MPs

That leaves 92 undecided, clearly enough for a Blairite challenger.

Update. 21st March:

The Telegraph is reporting that Brown has 200.  It reports that Miliband believes he does not have enough support from MPs to challenge Brown.
