Someone comes up to you and says that in 2010 a Labour leadership candidate would have the support of Tony Benn and Roy Hattersley. Who would have believed it?
I spoke to Tony the other week at Durham railway station after the Big Meeting. I asked, and he said he hadn't been to any hustings and would have backed John McDonnell.

ReplyDeleteI am sure he would have done if he could, but out of the five he appears to be plumping for Ed Miliband.

I still think if after all they both go for the same candidate it would have been hard to believe a few years ago.
