Alan Johnson stakes his claim
The Sunday Times writes that Alan Johnson is now going for the Labour leadership, not Deputy Leadership. He has a ready-made excuse, as they also say John Prescott doesn't intend to stand down.Last Sunday Johnson told the Observer of his hatred of selection in education. There's no reason to believe this isn't sincere, but one can't help wondering whether he decided it was important to tell of it to the Observer in order to lose Nick Cohen's backing, who of course is all in favour of it.
