I might be slightly biased as I grew up in the North East (until I was 14 and my parents moved back to West Cumbria), but I think yesterday's Newcastle hustings was the best so far. It was a really friendly, lively audience that asked some really good political questions.

Alan was in Basingstoke yesterday for the BBC’s Question Time programme, where he discussed national security, grammar schools, social housing and the deputy leadership contest.

More than 20 students from Hull and and members of Alan's constituency travelled down from Hull on Tuesday to attend the launch of Alan's campaign to become deputy leader. You can watch the BBC TV news story here on YouTube:

Or watch it full size here.

Did you know that if you're not already a member of the Labour Party it's not too late to join and be part of deciding who the next leader and deputy leader are going to be? It's quick and easy to join online. Why not join up now, and don't forget to register your support on Alan's website.

The media and the blogosphere are all a twitter about Twitter. It's been featured in The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times (paywall) and CNN.

Welcome to Alan Johnson's new website for his deputy leadership campaign. It's very much a work in progress (that's what beta means on the banner at the top). The reason that it's beta is that we're going to be experimenting with lots of different ways of listening to you and communicating what's happening in the campaign.
