Labour chairman Hazel Blears is expected to announce that she will run for the party's deputy leadership.

I wonder if she gives a good right hook with members of the public when eggs are thrown at her? Laughing

So i make it Hazel Blears,Michael Meacher and Alan Miliband so far.
Yet originally no one was going to stand against Golden Brown.
Do i detect a little dissention in the Labour ranks? Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Sorry misread this.
It is for Deputy not Leader.
What will John Prescott think?

Isn't Harriet Harman going to stand?

Quiz question: Who's the only woman to be leader of the Labour Party?

Margaret Beckett was acting leader when John Smith died as she was his deputy.

She would win the unintelligible vote that must be looking for a new home after Prescott retires.
