Like all ferociously clever people, Stephanie Cutter knows what she doesn’t know. Over her 24 hours in London she’s charmingly reluctant to be too prescriptive about what Ed Miliband should do, noting that every campaign and context is…
For the past fifteen months the watchwords for the Labour Party have been "One Nation". Everything ends up being shot through that prism, and every press release, speech and utterance seems to include at least a cursory reference to it. But…
