Hilary Benn campaigns in Alan Johnson's constituency?

All's fair in love and Deputy Leadership contests I guess. Apparently, last week, the Labour deputy leadership hopeful, Hilary Benn, took his self-promotion tour to fellow Deputy leadership contender, Alan Johnson's constituency. The event was hosted by the MP from the neighbouring constituency, Diana Johnson.

I was lucky enough to find a picture from the event on the irritating student social networking site, Facebook (which I have an account on.. oh the shame!). I guess Alan Johnson now knows where he stands with his own local Labour Party!

UPDATE: According to a post in the comments, Alan Johnson is definitely being supported by his local party. Clearly it's only Diana Johnson who's supporting Hilary Benn. This blog has decided it wants Crud-Ass because it would be funny if the deputy leader of the Labour Party could be called "crap bum".
