In the final moments of this leadership contest, Ed Miliband is now the favourite for Labour leader with Ladbrokes. The odds have tightened in recent days, and perhaps influenced by Mike Smithson over at Political Betting calling the race for Ed, the younger Miliband is now the favourite.

We should stress though, that this doesn’t imply any knowledge of how the voting is going – all this tells us is that we’re still on a knife edge till tomorrow afternoon.

Ed Miliband: 8/11

David Miliband: evens

Ed Balls: 100/1

Andy Burnham: 100/1

Diane Abbott: 150/1
