"Labour will not regain power if it pretends that money grows on trees." Good article by Andrew Grice in today's Indy http://bit.ly/bLw9O1 #
The result of the #lableadership is now known: just not yet public. Will any news leak out? And if it does can we trust it? #
@mjturner1975 fairly sure quote is accurate. View that globalisn costs jobs not least from outsourcing abroad. in reply to mjturner1975 #
@sunny_hundal Lab's gen sect Ray Collins now knows (told by ERS), Harriet also by now I think. in reply to sunny_hundal #
@sunny_hundal Think we've some crossed twires here. I just said the result was now known to someone (but not yet public). I've no idea, obvs in reply to sunny_hundal #
RT @mrchrisaddison Who's this guy? He's good. Telegenic, funny, passionate. The kind of guy Labour needs << Indeed. Shame he cdn't lead. #

Nick Robinson calls it for D Miliband. #
Trade union votes give it to Ed Miliband. Labour chooses to stay in opposition. Fascinating. #
Congrats to @wdjstraw and @leftfootfwd and YouGov for startlingly accurate polling in impossible-to-predict contest. #
Everything you need to know about Labour democracy >> RT @wdjstraw MPs 53-47 to David; Members 54-46 to David; Unions 60-40 to Ed. Ed wins. #
Indeed – RT @markpack Blogged: BBC, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! – http://bit.ly/alyQku < Indeed, @nextleft + @wdjstraw more informative than BBC. #
Ballots issued to 178k Labour members. Given 35k increase since electn, does this mean Lab m'ship fell to 143k? (Was prev c.155k, I think?) #

RT @guardian_clark Miliband's 1.3% margin identical to Clegg's in 2007 < yes, but we use quaint system called 1-member-1-vote (democracy). #
@Natt But they don't have one member one vote when not every vote counts equally. It's not very edifiying democracy. in reply to Natt #
@Paul0Evans1 It was a genuine question re Lab m'ship figs. L-t trend 4 all parties is down, but Lab/LD both bucking trend atm. Will it last? in reply to Paul0Evans1 #

So I'm looking for a Twitter app for BlackBerry that will work (ie, isn't UberTwitter). Any recommendations? #
@alexfoster I haven't no, but web browser in BlackBerry quite slow. Is dabr quick? in reply to alexfoster #
@ShodanAlexM yeah but I found Twitter for BlackBerry drains the battery. ubertwitter much better for that (when it works). in reply to ShodanAlexM #

@jimthehedgehog twice now Ubertwitter has stopped updating. Weirdly will still search in real time but won't update home timeline. in reply to jimthehedgehog #
