The race to the deputy leader of the Labour Party.

 The race is on for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party. Three MP’s have said they will  be in the race and include: Dame Emily Thornberry, Lucy Powell and Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary who is 41. She grew up in council housing and went to Catholic school and is a practicing Catholic . She went to Hertford College, Oxford and read French and Modern History. She is married with two children - in her life she has demonstrated - social mobility through education and has achieved high office in the present government . Apparently she is currently the bookies favourite to win. We will know on Thursday evening at 6 pm if she is successful on the ballot of all the Labour Party MP’s.
