John4Leader endorsements

More endorsements for John McDonnell's grassroots campaign for the Labour leadership have been published.



To see them, go here:
http://www.john4leader.org.uk/endorsements.html

Michael Clapham is the latest MP to publicly endorse John's campaign.

There will be more names to add very soon so keep coming back!

Given the mounting grassroots support for John's campaign, I also hope that Alex Hilton will finally consider adding a link on LabourHome to the John4Leader campaign - given he is (as far as I know) pretty much the only Labour MP blogger with no link.

"given he is (as far as I know) pretty much the only Labour MP blogger with no link"

Mark Lazarowicz's blog isn't linked either. So he's not alone

I'm sure there are one or two other exceptions (Julie Morgan maybe too?) - but John is standing for leader and is one of the most prominent Labour bloggers, hence the omission is even more striking. I've asked Alex about this twice and he still hasn't appeared. I don't want to kick up a big fuss about it, I just think it would be fair to include him.

you're right. I forgot about her! :-(
David Miliband is missing too.
I would suppose it's just that Alex Hilton has updated that section recently (under Labour Links there're some links that seem dead)

Do you think JR and Glass House might join us in a campaign to have John McDonnell and David Miliband's blogs added to the page?

Great. Right and Left of the Party being brought together by the "add the blog link" campaign! :-)

I'd have no problem with links being added to both of them.

Haha!  Jinx!  Oh well, it doesn't hurt to have two threads of this ilk...
