* Ed Miliband raised £8,000 in small donations as he seeks to bridge the financial gap with his brother.

* Ed Balls urges the coalition not to repeat the “folly” of the 1930’s in the Guardian.

* Jon Cruddas argues for constructive opposition.

* Cruddas also argued that we need an elected chair – and that he’d be keen to take on the job.

* You can read Cruddas’s speech to Labour Friends of Searchlight, which covers many of these themes, on LabourList…

* Five-year fixed term parliaments would put us out of step with the rest of the democratic world…

* Former-minister Michael Meacher attacks “Sell-off Britain”.

* And Peter Mandelson says that Labour “achieved 80%” of its aims.
