Milburn and Clarke snub Johnson and Blears?

The Events Diary at Milburn and Clarke's Anyone but Brown 2020 Vision website makes for interesting reading. The only events they have listed are a three part series of lectures over consecutive weeks in March.

Apparently the series will provide a "great opportunity to hear from the candidates" for the Deputy Leadership of the Labour Party. We have Peter Hain first, Hilary Benn a week later, and finally Harriet Harman in the last week of March. No further events have been booked.

I guess Alan Johnson and Hazel Blears now knows where they stand!
They snubbed Jon Cruddas too but that's hardly a surprise.

UPDATE: Thanks to Croydonian for pointing out I forgot the Chipmunk.

And what about 'The Mancunian Candidate', as I'm now calling her?

That is very odd as Blears and Johnson are the two most "New Labour" candidates. I suspect cock-up rather than conspiracy.

You could be right, but I'm a Tory blogger, what do you expect me to say!
