PRESS RELEASE: Lucy Powell new favourite to become Labour Deputy Leader
Powell 4/6 from 9/4; Bridget Phillipson drifts from 8/15 to 5/4
William Kedjanyi, Political Betting Analyst at Star Sports, said: “Only two candidates remain in the running to be named the next Labour Party Deputy Leader after Angela Rayner, and we’ve seen a major swing in the betting in the last 24 hours.
“Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson was the odds-on favourite, having secured 175 nominations from Labour MPs when voting closed on Thursday, but despite Lucy Powell securing fewer nominations with 117, she appears to have plenty of support from the soft-left of the party that has given her the momentum, having replaced Phillipson as favourite in our market after shortening into 4/6 from 9/4.”
“With voting set to begin next month, it looks sure to be a closely fought race between the two candidates.”
