Chris Leslie is Labour candidate for Nottingham East

The decision is good news for Ed Balls, education secretary, who backed Leslie in the selection process – but it may be seen as another “parachuting” by the party leadership into a constituency. I reported here a week ago about the row while Peter Kenyon of Labour’s NEC has all the details of the controversy.
