Harriet Harman is another of the prominent Labour figure to back Alastair Campbell after his expulsion from the party.

Here, she highlights that Labour's former director of governance and legal, Mike Creighton, believes that neither voting for another party, nor announcing such after the fact, represents a breach of Labour's rules.

Alastair Campbell has been speaking outside his home in the last hour about the move to expel him from the Labour party, where he indicated that he wouldn't be going quietly.

"I don't believe I voted against the Labour party. I believe I voted in the best interests of what the Labour Party should be doing," he said.

Congratulations to George Galloway on astonishing result in Bradford. Big message here on opposition to wars and austerity.
