The outcome all of us who supported Jo surely wanted, a united team, no doubt voters for Ed felt they would have supported Jo for Deputy had their choice been the leader.
Compare with the Tories or Labour, the pm doesn’t have Hunt in his govt, the Labour party deputy and leader barely sit near one another!
Wow, what a surprise!
I’m delighted! I also agree with Lorenzo, speaking as someone who voted for Ed as leader. We are off to a very good start.
Congratulations to Ed this is an important role and I am confident he will do a great job.
Wow, what a team we have. Good news seems to be coming in thick and fast.
Great news!
This is a really powerful pairing, especially with the prospect of an early GE. Both are seasoned and persuasive in media interviews and TV appearances. Plus they have a strong message with a united party behind them.
Great. This brings a balance of age and experience, of gender and of viewpoint so that we can be a broad party with radical vision for change that really does care for the whole nation.
OK not a surprise but still very welcome news. Well done Ed.
