Who the North's MPs are backing in Labour leadership race
The Labour leadership race now has four declared candidates so at least there's someone other than a Miliband in contention.
But who are our MPs currently supporting? Some have yet to declare but others have nailed their colours to the respective masts.
So far four have declared for David Miliband - Hugh Bayley from York, Tynemouth's Alan Campbell, Sedgefield MP Phil Wilson and Sunderland Central's Julie Elliott.
Three have backed Ed Miliband: Roberta Blackman-Woods (City of Durham), Helen Goodman (Bishop Auckland) and Grahame Morris (Easington).
Ed Balls has won the support of three MPs too. They are Hartlepool's Iain Wright, Gateshead and Sunderland West's Sharon Hodgson and the Blaydon MP Dave Anderson.
None have yet declared for John McDonnell.
