Dawn Butler, who like Richard Burgon (see 8.52am) was also a candidate in the 2020 deputy leadership contest, has posted this on social media hinting she is still interested.
This is an important time for MPs to get together to discuss who our next Deputy Leader will be. Unfortunately, there's a tube strike, and it's a very very short deadline. We must never be afraid of a fair process.
