A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
A day of very mixed emotions for me - at last with Hazel Blears' entry into the race there is someone worth enthusiastically supporting for for Deputy Leader but on the very same day Morrissey disappoints us all by pulling out of Eurovision. I suppose a Salford double win was too much to hope for.
