Left Foot Forward is coordinating a poll for readers of left wing blogs to find out who they'd like in the shadow cabinet - vote by reading this blog.
David Miliband will step down from front-line politics to allow his brother to lead the Labour Party “as free as possible from distraction” following his narrow defeat on Saturday. His decision to stand down leaves 49 MPs to fight it out for 19 positions, at least six of whom must be women.

We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Mr. Sensible
Would have liked David to have stayed, ut I can see why he decided not to.

Is is good that David has left the front line. He is an electoral liability – can’t face the facts re Iraq and there may yet be further revelations re Chilcott and ‘extraordinary rendition’, particularly in relation to Binyam Mohamed.
Labour has to detoxify itself if electoral success is to be achieved. And Ed has made a very promising start.
