A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
... unexpected headline of the day. Well done to them for the questionnaire on their website asking Deputy Leadership candidates some key questions: http://www.poptel.org.uk/scgn/

This election not like going back to 'Life on Mars' and the 1970s - its more like the 1980s with Hazel cast in the role of a bizarre inverted Ted Grant, and the weird cult of blears cast as the new Militant Tendency.

I love anonymous posters. They always make such interesting points.
The reason I haven't made my mind up re deputy is I don't want to vote for any of them.But you can knock Johnson Blears and Cruddas straight off my list.Given Harman seens to be winding up the right she will be one of the three am voting for (don't know which order yet)

That's Harriet's campaign holed below the waterline, and thank f*** for that!
Grimupnorth, you've done the Labour Party a great service in backing Harman
