| Description | The leftwing Labour MP John McDonnell today said he would like to challenge Gordon Brown for the leadership of the Labour party.
McDonnell, who also put his name forward last year but failed to get enough support to trigger a contest, said Labour should "start [the] process of re-democratising the party with a democratic election for the leadership and political programme for the party".
In an article on Comment is Free, McDonnell, the chairman of the Campaign group of leftwing Labour MPs, said: "There just can't be another coronation for the leader of the party. Our members and the electorate just wouldn't put up with another one. I am up for a leadership election at any time." |
