  20 May 2010:

  19 May 2010: John Harris: Ed Balls, David and Ed Miliband, and now Andy Burnham… can we tell Labour's likely lads apart enough to pick one as leader?

  18 May 2010: Rob Jewitt: The leadership challenger looked lost in his own constituency. This is a worrying sign of a deeper malaise in the Labour party

• Hand on heart, I do not want to be Labour leader

  

  17 May 2010: Jon Cruddas: I intend to play a full role in the re-invigoration and refocusing of my party. But leadership is not a bauble to aspire to
