Pollsters Populus have conducted in-depth polling on six likely contenders to succeed Brown as leader.  Voters examined Ed Balls, James Purnell, David Miliband, Harriet Harman, Jon Cruddas and Alan Johnson.

Cruddas was the surprise package and according to the pollsters the race, whenever it happens, should be between Cruddas versus Purnell.

Don't Rush Into A Leadership Race.

John McDonnell is going to do it, well he is if the Mail on Sunday is to be believed; David Milliband and Alan Johnson might have a go too, at challenging Gordon Brown for the leadership of the Labour Party. This might not be so good an idea as it seems.

Harman got 50.4% of the vote, Johnson got 49.6%.

If we didn't have this complex (Soviet) voting system Cruddas would be Deputy Leader.

The Mirror newspaper put together a panel of six members of the public to interrogate the six candidates for the Deputy Leader's post. They all made good account of themselves, but one candidate stood out more than the others.  The panel was made up of Silla Carron (Pride of Britain Neighbour of the Year), Mohamed Lodhi (pensioner), Lesley Ward (school teacher), Emma Chapman (nurse) and Katan Alder (student).

UNISON Labour Link National Committee have unanimously made an supporting nomination for Gordon Brown as Leader. Alan Johnson was nominated as Deputy Leader (Peter Hain to have 2nd preference).

This is a recommendation (all levy payers will have a postal vote)

Will post some thoughts later.
