Two candidates have now been nominated for Leader of the only party that is going to vote against restoring the link between pensions and earnings. By happy coincidence, they share a surname. However, unlike the Leader of the Opposition at today's Queen's Speech, neither of them is the Prime Minister's cousin.
Ed Miliband actually passed the magic 33 figure before his brother, and he alone did so on day one. He is still ahead. At least Yvette Cooper has now nominated her husband. She hadn't earlier today. Andy Burnham still has a mountain to climb, but his nomination by Joe Benton and Paul Goggins stands him in good stead with this blog. Or does it diminish Benton and Goggins? No one at all has nominated either of the Campaign Group candidates.
And not one candidate has mentioned a single policy. Well, of course not.
