Another MP makes their shadow cabinet pitch

By Mark Ferguson / @markfergusonuk

Yesterday, campaigning for the shadow cabinet kicked off in earnest, and we brought you Chris Bryant’s letter to his fellow MPs as he became one of the first to openly canvass support. We understand that MPs’ inboxes are beginning to fill with letters and endorsements from colleagues, as a potentially unprecedented number of MPs stand in the shadow cabinet elections.

This latest letter comes from Brent’s Barry Gardiner, who sent this through to MPs (and LabourList). Read it below:
