Huhne officially a candidate

Well, there will be at least one name on the leadership ballot paper that will be dropping through Lib Dem members letterboxes in a few weeks’ time: Chris Huhne has formally submitted his nomination papers.

LDV has already published the list of the 10 MPs who will be backing Chris. He also has endorsements from a dozen Lib Dem peers, four members of the Scottish Parliament, one Welsh Assembly member, and 20 Council group leaders or deputies. The full list is on his campaign website here.
