The Deputy Leadership Nominations
Click here, to see how many nominations each of the candidates got and which MP's supported each of the candidates. Am just pleased Hilary Benn got through as there was a moment the other day when I was a bit unsure of his chances
How do you see the contest going? Will it be between Johnson and Harman with the others fading away because they only just got over the 45 votes to enter it in the first place or do you think that given the right assurances, supporters of the different candidates could be tempted to swap their support from candidate to another?
Am flattered to be asked, but the honest answer is I don't know and it would be unwise to make specific predictions, suffice to say that I don't think Blears will get it!

What are your thoughts on Comedy Blears, Paul? How do you think she'll do in the contest?
