The Labour Party Deputy Leadership contest is getting hot, hot, hot.
On Tuesday, Jon Cruddas (whom I am backing) romped home in a national television debate of the candidates on BBC Two’s Newsnight programme.
A million viewers got to see why those of us who’ve met Jon, and spoken to him about his views on the Labour party Deputy Leadership, are right behind him in this campaign.
Jon Cruddas is a breath of fresh air and exactly what our party needs.
I’m delighted he’s now published his manifesto and a range of other lovely campaign materials.
Click on the red links to download Jon’s Charter for Working People, his short A5 Campaign Booklet and a special postcard Jon’s supporters can send to their mates asking them to vote for him.

Come on Jon!
Only three weeks to go! 🙂
