Benedict Brogan has - as ever - a superb post about Harriet Harman's victory:

...I can't get out of my mind the image of Gordon and Harriet standing awkwardly together on stage (that and the new Labour leader's choppy bow at the end of his speech, part Kamikaze off to die, part Sumo about to crush his opponent). She looked sheepish, almost awe-struck. He looked flabbergasted to have ended up with her. It reminded me of Blind Date when the screen is pulled back and the two winners grapple with the shock of what they see.
