As of 12:30 update today:
Diane Abbott - 1 (up 1) - David 'Mastermind' Lammy finally works out how to nominate someone
Ed Balls - 25 (up 1) - just one more so far today, running out of time and MPs Ed
Andy Burnham - 14 (no change)
John McDonnell - 5 (up 1)
David Miliband - 53 (up 2) - keeping ahead of his younger, even smugger, brother
Ed Miliband - 45 (down 1!) - How has he lost a nomination? My mistake yesterday or typical Labour party accounting skills?
So who's the new nominator of Ed Balls? It's Lyn Brown, another serial PPS and government whip and someone who until May 2009 rented a central London flat using the second home allowance, despite her constituency being only a few miles from Westminster.
So that's another member of the Gordon Brown regime signed up behind Ed Balls, he really is the continuity candidate isn't he. I wonder if he will need Gordon Brown's nomination in order to reach the 33 nominations target, now that would be embarrassing!

This is really funny to follow, as good as any novel. Hope Lammy didn't nominate the lovely Diane just because she is black and female. But I can't see any other reason !
