Leadership maths

Labour have put up the number of nominations each candidate for the Leader and Deputy Leader contests have.

John McDonnell still needs 18 more bribes, friends, ideas supporters if he’s going to get on the ballot. This morning on the Today programme, Brown indicated that he has no intention on “lending” John any of his own votes, so this seems very unlikely.

In comparison the Deputy leadership contest appears more exciting. Hilary Benn currently looks like the only candidate who’s not going to make it on the ballot, with Alan Johnson in front (he’s supposedly even got the support of John Prescott).

Call back soon for our graphical interpretations of these results.

Update - See the sidebar for the amazing, Technicolor deputy leadership tracker.
