* Blair developed “tunnell vision” over Iraq, says Mandelson.

* The BBC has a good precis of what we’ve learned from Mandelson’s book so far.

* The Telegraph talks of the “petty rivalries” of Labour’s “ghastly soap opera”.

* Harriet Harman has delayed her plans for 50% women in the shad cab.

* The government looks set to replace top-up fees with a graduate tax.

* Ed Miliband says that top universities are wrong to call for higher fees.

* But John Rentoul says that a graduate tax is a bad idea.

* And in his maiden speech, Lord Prescott attacked Gordon Brown for his “unrealistic” plans for climate change.
