Labour party invites members to nominate for leader and deputy leader ..???

Rob Newman Secretary of Cardiff North New Labour Party
writes to members on 22 May ..(perhaps he didn't notice that nominations closed for the leadership and deputy leadership of the labour party on the 17 May!)

"As you will have heard the prime minister and leader of the labour party , Tony Blair ...have announced they will step down..The first time in its history that the labour party is choosing not only a new leadership team but also a new prime minister....We want as many people as possible to take part in these elections .....opportunity to make a nomination for who we want to be leader and deputy leader...all party members invited on 31 May to come and debate the way forward ......and WHO WE WANT TO LEAD IT INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION ......and finishes....I look forward to seeing you on the 30 May???"

Labour Party members are badly informed! Perhaps the secretary Mr Newman didn't remember that Julie Morgan announced she was......emmmm...supporting Brown and Harmen "I'm supporting Gordon for leader and Harriet for deputy leader as I think they would work together very well — I'm excited about the new era" gushes Julie Morgan on her website. So whats to discuss then....democracy maybe?

Or you could go to a labour party hustings if you are a member on 9th June at a secret location but it will cost you a £10.... no concessions!

Meanwhile our Julie Morgan MP tells the HOC : 'I have reservations about nuclear power.' Time to make your mind up. If you could be as decisive about supporting Brown it must be possible to decide to oppose nuclear power. See new video
