This week the government continued with proposals to push through two key pieces of legislation which will have a significantly positive impact.
Barker has endorsed Lucy Powell for deputy leader.
The required threshold must be reached by 5pm today.
The sheer hypocrisy of the right-wing press.
Only 99 MPs have nominated thus far, with around 300 to go, meaning there’s still a lot to play for.
A total of six Labour MPs so far have declared their intention to run.
“We need to listen to our MPs more, respect them more and I hope this deputy leadership contest will open up a debate about that whole approach to running the PLP and the Labour Party.”
The Prime Minister’s official spokesperson also said: “We are absolutely backing the Employment Rights Bill.”
‘I’ve taken on powerful vested interests in the education sector – and even as they threw everything at me, I have never taken a backwards step. I will bring that same determination to every battle ahead of us.’
Candidates would then need to seek local party and union/affiliate nominations between Sept. 13-27 followed by a ballot of members from Oct. 8-23. That is the timetable being put before the NEC.
