Sadly, Clive Lewis didn’t make it onto the Labour Leadership ballot paper, and we move onto the next stage. The candidates now need support from the affiliates or from 33 CLPs.
The affiliates rule is,
At least 3 affiliates (at least 2 of which shall be trade union affiliates) compromising 5 per cent of affiliated membership
Some of them, LIsa Nandy, Emily Thornbury and Jess Phillips, I am talking about you, will have some difficulty reaching this threshold, there are now only 12 Unions affiliated, six of which are above 5%.

Well, that shows me! I am hearing that NUM are nominating Lisa Nandy.
