As Parliament broke up for recess, and the backbenchers packed their suitcases, the candidates readied themselves for the final push. The phone banks have been staffed, the envelopes have been stuffed, the doors have been knocked, and the summer holidays have been cancelled.
It was the week David warned us of years in the wilderness, Andy hit out at the chattering classes, Ed B told us he was fighting to win, Ed M admired the brass neck of the coalition, and Diane reminded us again, just in case we hadn’t clock it, that she’s the only girl.
Another busy week on Uncut. In case you missed them, here are half a dozen of Uncut’s best read pieces of the last seven days:
Lets get organised, lets get ready to win, argues David Miliband
Trident must be part of the strategic defence review says Des Browne
Kevin Meagher thinks David Cameron is going berserk
We need character – we need Ed Miliband, says Hillary Benn
Jonathan Todd plots a path between swivel-eyed, small-state evangelism and defending the status quo
Don’t forget it is our final crowdsourced leadership interview this week. We will be taking your questions to Andy Burnham. You have until midnight tonight to get your questions in.
