And apparently Jacqueline Robinson, a disability rights campaigner from Birmingham who applied for a number of seats for 2015 and generally doing quite badly. Yes, she lives in the ward I used to represent, I am mildly surprised that she is panelled as a parliamentary candidate. There again, thinking of the Erdington short-list, why not.  |

Labour members could apply for parliamentary selection even if they were not in the panel. They undergo the approval interview by a NEC panel once selected if they win the nomination without previously being on an approved panel (either the party, the unions or the Co-Op approved candidates panels). |

He's the sort of candidate that MerseyMike thinks should join the tories - which probably doesnt narrow it down, but I would say he is on the right of the party. |

I'd say the selection is between Coppard and Furniss. Gill Furniss was an Andy Burnham supporter in the leadership election.

I don't recall all this talk of Coppard being a right winger a year ago?
Maybe our one time poster Mr Nameless could make a reappearance to give their impressions......

By no means everybody who backed Cooper was on the Labour right, and she likely had a bit of a "Yorkshire bonus" as well (not being able to properly quantify such things is another reason why the bizarre and unprecedented [?] decision not to issue regional/constituency breakdowns of the leadership vote is so infuriating) But yes, Cooper/Watson suggests somebody on the pragmatic (as opposed to ideological) right all told.

I wouldn't have as good a feel as mrnameless , but I met him and followed his campaign fairly closely. The impression I got was that he would align with the right in factional terms, but that his actual views are not that right-wing by Labour standards. Certainly I would think that saying he should join the Tories would be absurd. |

Labour people like that are the best Labour people in my unbiased opinion.

No Oliver. Amazing given his high profile last year.
