A Broad Church

Frank Field and Kate Hoey have nominated John McDonnell.

Does John have The 2020 Vision after all?

Does that answer your question? You desreve excommunication.

Take it up with Frank Field, especially.

John's nominees are by far the broadest-based of anyone's. Three (including himself) from the Left, of whom at least two are Hard Left, and then there are these two.

Who do you recommend, Anonymous? David Cameron? Purr-lease!

See today's post on George Osborne.

You will have seen the regional papers saying that Ronnie Campbell is going to nominate McDonnell. He is a pro-life Catholic.

He hasn't yet, but everyone says he will. Although he's not actually a Campaign Group member, I don't think. Surprising people aren't. And one or two surprsiing people either are, or were until the Election.

With Ian Lavery undoubtedly about to nominate John, unless there is some sort of internal Campaign Group carve-up to ensure that both he and Abbott are on the ballot, that means that John will have been nominated by both Labour MPs from Northumberland, half the total number of MPs from the second most rural county in England.
