There are few Mps who can now be unaware of the heartfelt wish of ordinary Party members that we do not have a debate neutered by MPs - but a full and frank discussion of where Labour is heading. The three front-runners are now on the ballot so do not need any more nominations. David Miliband has said he is happy for MPs to "lend" nominations so the outsiders with backing from the grassroots at least get their chance at the hustings.
My maths is not very good. But as things stand the votes of 75 MPs who have not yet voted would ensure Andy Burnham, John McDonnell and Dianne Abbott all make it to the starting-block. Over 90 still have ti make their mind up.
Nominating MPs who are already there is a slap in the face for the thousands who are now saying they want eveyyone on the ballot paper. It is crucial that over the next few days Party members keep the pressure up. As indicated here
