The Man Who Will Be King

Well, it looks like Gordon’s done it. Brown has secured 309 nominations against John McDonnell’s 29 thus making it impossible for Mr McDonnell to reach the required 45 nominations. Officially the nomination period closes at 12:30 today but it’s as good as over.

The deputy leadership race remains interesting with Hilary Benn limping towards the required 45 nominations, all the other candidates have secured the necessary support. The leadership graph is up-to-date as of 6pm yesterday with the details.

    All the Deputy PM candidates now have enough supporters…it seems even Benn has limped past the line.

    Are there really 49 people in the world (never mind in the Parliamentary Labour Party)) who think that Hazel (I’m nuts about you) Blears should be in a leadership position of any kind? Look into the woman’s eye’s for God’s sake - she is indeed, clearly nuts.
