Ed beats David by a fraction on the Affiliates section

So, Ed wins it – just – with the affiliates section proving the crucial factor and the late rumours for DM were just that and may even have been a case of talk following betting rather than vice-versa.

Ed Balls beat Abbott and Burnham for third place, which with a reasonable showing in the MPs section should reinforce his claim for a top job in the shadow cabinet.

On a personal note, Ed winning has just pocketed me a three-figure profit.
