David quits – leaving 49 to fight for 19 places

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.
