Sarah Brown endorses Yvette Cooper in leadership race

Sarah Brown has revealed she will be voting for Yvette Cooper in the Labour leadership race, and is giving her second preference to Andy Burnham, in what appears to be a tacit endorsement of the ‘Anyone But Corbyn’ strategy.

Over the weekend, her husband and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave a speech in London that was perceived as being a warning against electing Corbyn as leader. However, it appears that Corbyn’s position as frontrunner is still as strong as it has ever been, as members begin to vote this week.
