Sunday, Sunday

There’s a whole slew of Labour leadership-related article in today’s Sunday papers. The most striking thing about them is that the media, at least, now clearly perceive this to be a two-horse race: coverage of Ed Balls, Diane Abbott and Andy Burnham is scarce indeed.

Yes, there are two frontrunners now in this leadership election. But the role of the other candidates, as I’ve written elsewhere, remains crucial, and how their second and third preferences transfer is still likely to decide the outcome of the race.

Rather than going through them all one by one with a scalpel, I thought it better to list some below and allow LabourList readers to devour them one by one throughout the day:
