Labour MP Alan Johnson has ruled himself out of any bid for the leadership of the Labour Party.

The former Home Secretary used a column in The Guardian to explain why he would not challenge under-fire Ed Miliband.

"I have never stood for the leadership of my party - and for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of the circumstances, I never will," he wrote.

"Ed Miliband is entitled to expect our loyalty.

"I believe that he is the only party leader who can promise real and lasting change, rather than a return to business as usual. He is the only political leader who can stop a retreat from the consensus of decency that has traditionally characterised Britain’s role in the world."

 

Oh Dear. Not sure Ed is up to the job. In fact I don't think I ever was. Another stint for David C then...

This has to be the best news the Tory party and now UKIP have had this year...

I don't think this is right time for the Labour Party to be having a debate about the leadership, the Tories must be overjoyed.

Oh jesus.....

Politics? Really... C'mon on guys! On a serious note I would never like Ed as our PM but I'd have to accept I'd vote for him just to get rid of David.

i feel ed is not right for the job, i dont trust him and he makes me feel more nervous than david cameron. i really think they should elect a new leader, someone who mature and experienced. i think its a bad move by all the parties to name younger heads as their leaders, if someone is good and can do the job their age will not matter.
