Haven’t had time to read Lord Mandelson’s weighty tome yet, but have had a quick glance in the index to tot up how many pages each of the Labour leadership contenders get mentioned on:
Diane Abbott 0 – not a single reference to Dianne.
Ed Balls 41 – yep Ed features pretty big.
Andy Burnham 1 – Andy being brave enough to defend Gordon after Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt’s infamous letter.
David Miliband 48 – but out in front is Miliband major.
Ed Miliband 11 – while Miliband minor gets fewer mentions.
