As far as I know, we'll find out the result on Wednesday which is good timing because we're having our 'celebration' of the JR Wednesday evening. I'll update with the results asap.

I've been Retweeting a few #webackEd tweets for FTN My impression is that even those who are not Labour / Ed supporters are broadly of the opinion that the media campaign against him should be stopped.

That said, I do have respect for Ed and furthermore, I will not be told by the media who or what I should support. And this is a media driven 'hate fest' against Ed. But please, could people st...
