Labour party members voted for Ed over David in the race for the Labour Leadership winning 50.65% to 49.35%.

Diane Abbott has become the first female to run for leader of the Labour Party in the upcoming leadership election. Ms Abbott MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington is running (surprisingly) on a platform talking about the sensitive issue of immigration.

Ed’s finally declared he’s gonna run for leader of the Labour party. Declaring he is to stand, Balls said “I’m going to put my name in for the Labour party leadership. I think it’s really important we don’t just talk to ourselves, we’ve got to hear what the country’s got to say.”
