PREDICTIONS REALISED: Three, IN PLAY: Two


First: Hilary Benn is on 42 with 30 or so in play. He needs three more. 10%. Don't break his heart PLP people. Let's have him on that ballot.
Second: Just enough nominations for Gordon Brown to make it a no-contest. Hard to avoid when there is such a very strong consensus that it's gotta be Gordon.
Third: Some slowtrack MPs did indeed manage to keep their powder dry. But Jon and Jon - the Compass Two - did jump 'how high' for Gordon. They may come to regret that.
Fourth: Gordon did indeed have a big conversation with the party in Manchester. And he was very good.
Fifth: Early visit to Palace. Probably unlikely ... barring an emergency.

So...a creative spoil would seem to be the only option in the deputy leadership contest.
I've started the debate on my blog.
