Hazel Blear’s lead story on her campaign site for deputy leadership is ‘75 Young Members Back Blears’. Though I’m sure she has worked very hard to obtain that support and that young people are very apathetic these days such a small number doesn’t really seem worth mentioning, especially as our very own University’s Labour Society is 120 member strong…
One interesting observation is that 5 of those were from the University of Birmingham, including our very own Peter Mason (one of the many vice presidents of the guild) and ex-politics student Stephanie Peacock Youth Representative and National Executive Committee member.

It’s a little embarrasssing in that she lost… badly… but im glad i got involved and you writing this says to me that it made an impact, however feeble.

Maybe but it would appear by running, Blears has done herself quite a bit of long term credibility damage.
Which is a shame because she was perceived to have done a half decent job as chairman.
She would certainly be better than ‘4 hats Harman!’
