So Jess Phillips has dropped out and it looks as if Starmer, Long-Bailey and Nandy have got the requisite union backing.
Not sure whether Thornberry will make the cut.
Local Party Branches are holding nomination meetings in next fortnight and I guess those three will get sufficient endorsements too. Curiously, although I can vote in the election I've not been a member for the 8 weeks required to participate in and vote at Daventry CLP's nomination meeting next week.
I'm still favouring Starmer but Lisa Nandy is proving an impressive performer in the media interviews. Could she come up on the inside rail for a surprise result?
