It's all over

James Forsyth 6:22pm

The word here in Westminster is that the result of the Labour leadership contest has been certified. The significance of this is that it means the result is not close enough for the party officials to think that there is any need for a recount.

The Cat in the Hat

Well done Ed
Whatever they said.
They were wrong
You've won, you're there
But, does anyone care?
No, it matters not.
Labour's lost the plot
The far left will be all that's left.
The right's taken fright.
Don't put your head in the sand, Mr Milliband.
Labour bankrupted the nation. You cannot be our salvation. The future is blue with a hint of yellow.
And there is nothing you can do, however much you bellow!

James, the suspense’s too much to bear, if heart attack strikes whom do I blame?

@ anxiouswarrior. The cowards and traitors are not fleeing or sneering - they're waving the red flag from the opposition benches or already sitting on the government benches with the red flag carefully folded under their coats. Britain is rapidly becoming a communist paradise.

Forty years to work out the poison like Eastern Europe is too long for me!

David Dimwit or Red Ed? Arsenic or cyanide? Not a choice but a dilemma.

So it looks like Miliplonker has beaten Milipillock.

And in the other news, Tweedledum and Tweedledee had a fight.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
