So Harriet Harman won the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party at the weekend and has also been appointed Chair of the Party. The count went all the way and the result itself was extremely close with less than 1% separating Harman and Alan Johnson.

First to be excluded was Hazel Blears, followed by Peter Hain and then Hillary Benn and finally John Cruddas.
