Jack Dromey's Big Night

Iain Dale 3:05 PM

Labour is holding its parliamentary selection tonight in Birmingham Erdington, following the decision of Sion Simon to stand down at the next election.

A nation holds its breath as it waits to see if Jack Dromey nee Harman is parachuted by his wife into the seat selected. Word on the street is that he's going to walk it. Because the Labour Party is a meritocracy, dontcha know. I am told he has been working the constituency full time ever since Sion Simon announced his departure. He must have a very understanding employer. :)

I will try to bring you the news in my show on LBC!

UPDATE 6.30pm: Sources tell me that Jack Dromey has won the selection. The Unite donations to Labour should now be safe then.
