Being a London MP could 'count against' Thornberry in deputy leadership race, says Baroness Harman
Dame Emily, who has been the MP for Islington South and Finsbury since 2005, confirmed she will stand for the deputy leadership in a social media post on Tuesday.
The chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee vowed to be "a voice for the membership, unions, PLP, and our constituents - not just nod along" if she is elected deputy Labour leader on 25 October.
Hmm - a chap might assume that having the grace, charm and appeal of a serial nosebleed ought to count against Dame Emily, but this is Labour, so no degree of ghastliness is entirely off the table.
The order of her "voice for..." is interesting too -
Membership
Unions
PLP
Constituents

All the fascination of a slow motion train wreck.
