  New Statesman - The New Statesman Interview - Ian McCartney
Ian McCartney, the Cabinet Office minister, has been touring the country, along with John Prescott, to enthuse those disillusioned party members who suddenly matter so much for these few weeks.
McCartney describes as the "most debilitating thing" his time as a back-bench MP for Makerfield from 1987-97, when "the Tory party turned its guns on my community and tried to devastate it, removed its economic base".
McCartney calls it "aspiration", Mandelson's term is "ambition", but both insist that this mode of social mobility is the key to what Labour must achieve next.
