Subject The Labour Party's Dan Jarvis MP. Significance There is an emerging consensus within the parliamentary group of the main opposition Labour Party that Dan Jarvis, member of Parliament (MP) for Barnsley Central, is a credible centrist alternative party leader. Impacts Labour will spend much of this year arguing internally about the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent. Echoing the EU membership question for Conservatives, positions on Trident will be definitive in Labour for potential leadership figures. The likely impact on Labour of a parliamentary vote on Trident means the latter's 2016 timing could be linked to that of the EU referendum.
