As nominations open tonight’s key numbers in the LAB leadership race

More than 80 LAB MPs have still to decide
All three front runners for the LAB leadership – Burnham/Kendal/Cooper have seen increases in their MP nomination totals. The other two – Corbyn/Creagh – have seen no change and they are still a very long way off the 35 that’s required. There are, however, more than 80 LAB MPs who have yet to attach their names to a contender so theoretically at least both theorectically at least, could reach the 35 name threshold.
In the betting there’s been little change.
This battle looks set to be about second preferences and that is very hard to read.
