Writing about UNISON's continued silence on the question of who should succeed Tony Blair as leader of our party, Jon says:

The strategy that has transparently been pursued until now has been to pretend that it would be somehow wrong to express a view “until we know who all the candidates are” and thereby to cede to the Parliamentary Labour Party all power to decide upon whether our members who pay the political levy will be offered a real choice.

Leaving that decision in the hands of the Parliamentary Labour Party seems all the more dangerous now.
