Oh, Mister Porter!

Our old friend Aaron Porter has decided he will not stand for re-election as the National Union of Students' (NUS) president this April.

Oh, how sad!

Mind you, I suspect this is in reality a preliminary move toward becoming a Labour party candidate in some approaching election, either council or (more likely) parliamentary. Therefore don't be surprised if he is parachuted in to a safe Labour seat, perhaps even at the next by-election triggered by yet another expenses scandal-related resignation of a sitting Labour MP.
