@Jeremy
Let’s hope so.

Both the entire Labour Party & trades union movement should be thanking McDonnell.

Note that he was the only candidate who didn’t vote for the Abolition of Parliament Bill.

David Miliband’s move might be too clever for his own good. A bit smarmy!

Yes, but how did nominating the already nominated Ed Miliband help this?

Of course a broader debate is welcome, but tokenism comes in many forms it seems. I am just very concerned that Dianne’s inclusion legitimises the likely outcome from all this and statements that will surely follow about how it will have been a ‘broad’ or ‘representative’ debate. No signs of either so far.
