Gordon Brown’s retro opponent will be John McDonnell as Michael Meacher has dropped out. So Gordon will get to spend the next few months explaining why Labour’s 1983 manifesto is not a platform for a fourth election victory.
Seeing as McDonnell has always been against the war his candidacy will at least give us a window into how much of a deal breaker Iraq is for the Labour grassroots.
No word yet on whether Benn junior can scrape together the required 44 nominations to enter the deputy leadership contest.
