Following the numbers
Just off the phone to Derek Vaughan MEP. He's "thought long and hard" and talked to the two candidates in the Labour leadership race who picked up the phone to him. He's just decided to support the candidate whose views on Europe amongst others issues most closely mirror his own: Carwyn Jones.
The official Labour list of supporting nominations has just appeared and the list of MPs next to Carwyn Jones' name makes quite an impact on the Excel page. He has 14 supprting nominations from Westminster.
But "the Edwina Three" have become five. Add Kim Howells and John Smith to her list.
Huw Lewis has four MPs on this list - Nia Griffith, Dai Harvard, Sian James and Jessica Morden. We understand Martyn Jones didn't get his in on time, so it was invalidated.
CLPs are split six to Edwina Hart, five to Carwyn Jones, four to Huw Lewis.
How they all vote? Ah, that's where it gets really interesting.
