So Benji you think nowhere on the internet should people write about internal Labour Party elections in case you stumble across it and find it boring.
Pretty serious ego problem there.

Today Celia Barlow has declared for Harman. I thought she was previously reported (by BBC) as leaning towards Blears

While John McDonnell is of course well known by everyone, and not just a small circle of anti-war loons!

No I am not a Lib Dem.
I was just wondering whether poor old Luke should really be sorting out refuse in Hackney rather than dreaming about Blears.

The 2 tasks are not mutually exclusive - I don't blog about my council activity usually, I just get on with it.
Susan - lots of people have heard of Graham Allen - he's a leftish critic of Blair's presidential style.
