Alastair Campbell - New Statesman Guest Editor

As part of the issue, he will be giving a page over to readers suggestions on how to end the sentence “If I had one sentence in the next labour manifesto, it would say ....”

Writing about the upcoming issue, Alistair Campbell said:

“I hope that for the week I'm in charge, with the help of the usual NS team, we can put something together that's interesting, provocative and makes a contribution to the progressive debate.

As well as the articles I've already commissioned, one of the pages will be handed over to others to finish the phrase: 'if I could get one sentence into Labour’s manifesto for the next election, it would say this...'

I think the battle of policy ideas still has more energy on the left than the right, and I hope this page will reflect that.”
