did any of the deputy labour leader candidates vote against the war.

??

Don't think so; though Cruddas now says he regrets voting for it.
Interesting to see though that the Left of the Parliamentary Party are split across several candidates -most line up behind Cruddas or Benn, but a couple back Hain.

i've been on a cnd march with alan johnson

but that was a long time ago.

have you voted already?

i thought alan would get it.

HH really really thought there were WMD's


just shows she isn't very bright


she's just a fuckin' blairbabe gettin' on on a bit.

Strangely I thought Peter Hain might've had a look in, but historically he's always been a bit untrustworthy around the stationary cabinet - and I would have thought his involvement with the ANL would be too much 'old labour'.

Having looked at the recent coverage, does anyone smell a tory government in the next election?

I'm afraid she's going to be a massive disappointment to those she persuaded to vote for her because she was a Left candidate; she's already saying that she was elected because of her stance on the family, not Iraq.
I'd rather have had an out and out rightwinger like Blears or Johnston than someone who took a leftish stance to get elected then moved back to the right.

And he's not going to have her as his deputy anyway so it doesn't matter...

But does it matter who's deputy PM ??

There doesn't necessarily have to be a Deputy PM; and if there is one, there's no reason s/he should have the enormous responsibilities that Prezza did.

I know Prezza was such a busy man wasn't he? I mean the list of things he did while deputy is so, um... what did he do for 10 years, exactly?!

Declare the Firefighters strike to be 'illegal' and punch someone.


When he wasn't playing Croquet.

Make hey while the going was good .... & make it look like 'old Labour' had some influence, which it didn't.
