Oona King in bid to be London's mayor in 2012

Summary

The former Labour MP Oona King has announced her return to frontline politics by challenging Ken Livingstone to become Labour's candidate for mayor of London in 2012. The contest will be decided at the party conference in the autumn. Candidates have to have 33 names before they can take part in the hustings in June and July. David Miliband has announced 38 MP supporters, Ed Balls 20, Ed Miliband 18 and Andy Burnham 14. McDonnell has two, but more than 150 MPs still have to make up their minds before 9 June.

Reaction
I think that I only read these stories because I have to have a diverse range of topics for my blog. I do not find them interesting at all but I must say that I really like the idea of a women challenging a man. That has somehow always been, and probably always will be, the most interesting of all challenges because it is almost like a battle of the sexes. This makes it a bit easier to read and to follow.
