Emily Thornberry’s ground campaign

By Mark Ferguson / @markfergusonuk

Another MP has declared their intention to stand for the shadow cabinet, and has contacted fellow MPs to canvass their support. But this one is a little different. Rather than using an email round-robin as some of the other contenders are, Emily Thornberry has sent out a letter and a leaflet – which is more like a ground campaign. Will this different style pay off though?

(We won’t be publishing all of these letters, leaflets and emails on the front page on LabourList, but if you check out the livelist we’ll be updating it with the most recent ones we have)
