Wednesday, 9 October
Prompt:It was the party conference of 2007, and Gordon - now in No 10 - wanted something to distract the media from speculation about a possible snap election.
‘Build up the young guys,’ he said. ‘Turn it into a beauty contest about who’ll take over from me.’
He reeled off surnames like a football manager naming his line-up: ‘Purnell. Miliband. Kelly. Burnham. Cooper. Balls. Miliband.’
Let's "build up the young guys"! Or make it a real beauty contest between the people mentioned above.
Fill:
Looking for the Lolitician Vote Thursday, 10 October
Self-prompt: Anon read an article about Miriam in the Evening Standard the other night and couldn't help but think shippy thoughts
Fill:

Friday, 11 October
Prompt: Andy Burnham was close to tears with his NHS feels during Ed's speech at conference so I would like some Andy comfort fic. Burnballs and Cornballs are always welcome but I was thinking that EdM/Andy would be nice, with Ed reassuring Andy that he is doing a great job and that he is valued and that Ed isn't going to give him the sack because he hasn't been able to single-handedly prevent the Tories fucking up the NHS, after comfort sex optional.
Fill:
Rumours and Reshuffles (Andy Burnham/Ed Miliband)
Saturday, 12 October
Self-prompt: David and Miriam get talking and realise that they could help each other out with what they both want
