My tips for new Labour deputy Lucy or Bridget

- 

The prospect of Labour having a new deputy leader is really exciting - although I'm still very sad we lost Angela Rayner.

Whether it's Bridget Phillipson or Lucy Powell, I know they'll do a great job.

As a former deputy leader, I have some sisterly advice for the winner's first 100 days.

You need to take a lead in all the elections that are going on, so head straight to Wales and Scotland.

It will lift the spirits of the activists you join on wet and windy doorsteps in the run-up to the toughest of elections for the Welsh and Scottish parliaments next May.

Fill your days with campaign visits to all the places we have council elections next year.

It's a real privilege to do that. How many people have a job where they get to go to every part of our beautiful and inspiring country to work with people determined to change their area for the better?
