Talk of Ed Miliband replacing Sir Keir Starmer has reminded me of the famous Ed Stone of six policy pledges signed by the then Labour leader and unveiled by him in Hastings and Rye to a bemused electorate on the eve of polling day in May 2015. The two-ton, 8ft 6in limestone slab was intended to sit in the 10 Downing St garden, with its pledges covering the economy, NHS and immigration controls serving as a reminder to a Miliband government of its core purposes.
