Deputy leadership contest: who’s backing whom and who did endorsers vote to be leader in 2010

The deputy leadership contest is a packed field; 6 people have put themselves forward for the position (John Healey pulled out of the contest last week).

Candidates need the backing of 35 MPs to make it onto the ballot paper. But as there’s  232 Labour MPs, only 6 people can secure the amount of support needed to stay in the race. But that’s looking impossible now.

Here’s the list so far of who is backing whom and also who MPs voted for in 2010:


Rushanara Ali – 24 Ben Bradshaw – 25 Stella Creasy – 35 Angela Eagle – 26 Caroline Flint – 41 Tom Watson – 59
