Cast vote for Labour leader
LABOUR voters in Edinburgh East have until midnight tonight to help decide how MP Sheila Gilmore will cast her vote in the party's leadership election.
Ms Gilmore announced last month she was holding a "primary" among Labour supporters in the constituency on who should succeed Gordon Brown and pledged to vote accordingly.
She sent out 1000 ballot papers to identified Labour voters, but any Labour supporter in Edinburgh East - which runs from Tollcross to Abbeyhill and as far east as Joppa - can vote at www.edinburgheast.net.
