South Suffolk’s choice for Deputy Leader
South Suffolk Labour is backing Lucy Powell for Deputy Leader of the party. She won the nomination at the constituency’s September “All Members Meeting”. Lucy was seen as the candidate most likely to bring a fresh approach to delivering Labour policy.
She is one of two candidates standing for the role. The other is Bridget Phillipson. Lucy was Leader of the House of Commons until September. Bridget is the Education Secretary.
Labour members will choose between the two MPs in a national, on-line ballot from October 8 to October 23.
