Three MPs sign up so far for Labour leadership battle

Three Labour MPs have so far come forward to contest the party leadership, following the resignation of Job Cohen last week.


On Thursday, former culture minister Ronald Plasterk became the third candidate, joining Martijn van Dam and Diederik Samsom.
All members of the PvdA are allowed to take part in the vote, which will take place in early March.
