He's right and I hope he gets enough nominations, I've just joined as a member and I'd at least like a plurality of choice between the candidates than there is at the minute.

Well it's good that he does offer a different perspective - the others are all very similar and even the 'left-wing' candidate in Burnham is actually pretty centrist.

He has no chance of winning though of course

Of course he doesn't and he's probably not even going to get enough nominations. The point is that the debate should be about policies and where to position Labour on the political spectrum. If Jeremy isn't nominated we'll be deprived of a fair, interesting and meaningful debate since the rest of the candidates ideologies are extremely similar and the entire discussion will consist of months of throwing around words like 'aspiration'

I agree with a lot he says,although I never would a few years ago, and I am all for a good choice of candidates.

Let us see how he does.
I will decide which one of them gets my vote after I hear all they offer and what their vision is for the party.

He may not win,if all get the 35 MPs needed to stand.then 3 of those standing will not either but nothing ventured nothing gained.

He has until midday to get the support of the 35 MPs he needs. I don't think he will, it's a big ask really and a rule that needs changing if they want more diversity in the candidates

I like him. Saw him speaking at an anti-trident protest I went to, and he spoke a lot of sense. Good public speaker too.

... ... ... ... OK, I'm just going to say it. The guy looks like Albert Steptoe. If Milliband wasn't marketable to the public then this would be an absolutely ridiculous idea, frankly.

I think this could mean one of two things

1) Labour was telling people to nominate him so that the left-wing do not think Labour has moved to the right

2) The MPs wanted it to shock people and have a headline

Surprised, I expect a lot of MPs backed him even though they don't want him as leader just to have more views represented in the debate. He'll probably do a Diane Abbott now and absolutely flop in the main vote

Delighted he got enough noms, that's the first thing they've got right now we can have a proper debate and one that'll highlight just how much support left wing policies have and how very little Labour are doing to appease them
