BLOGSCLUSIVE Diane Abbott on the Politics Show: Stars On 45


Diane says - on the Politics Show - that John McDonnell claims 24 backers and that Michael Meacher claims 24 backers. But that the latter may not quite have the numbers he says. Hence the postponement of a joint press conference until Monday. Meacher can now retire gracefully into the Deputy Dawg Race. Who are Michael's backers? Why has not one gone public? Will either man get the 45?

Why did John McDonnell give a live interview on New Zealnad morning radio today? Will UK agencies not speak to him?

He was on the BBC yesterday several times.If he doesn't get on the ballot, we clearly have a lot more work to do.Met several people last night very drunk as a result.John has the support on the ground.The PLP are a waste of space.

Anne Cryer was on Five Live this morning saying she will vote for Brown but nominate McDonnell because of pressure from her constituency party.
So it is worth continuing the campaign.
I just faxed Graham Stringer!

Is this a dodgy headline exclusive if it was on the Politics Show?

Chris Paul said...

It says Blogsclusive John. Can be anywhere apart from the Blogosphere yet still be a Blogsclusive.

I did note the blogsclusive, and liked the new name.
