Labour Knives Out For "loser" Red Ed....

[ToraToraTora]

So proclaims the Mail on it's front page. Is this just electioneering from the mail or does ED have a problem?

As yes, a classy piece of journalism that:
"Ed Miliband’s hopes of winning the General Election were fading last night"
Presumably once the clouds of outrage over the Winston Churchill documentary had cleared over Wail Towers the journalists therein saw a great light and a voice spake unto them saying:
"Behold, the light is fading for Labour.. it's all over. That's in. Last one out lock away the swingometers: the closest and most unpredicatable election in recent history is actually done and dusted".

There isn't actually much of substance in this. It's no secret that some in Labour are not happy with Miliband but the big story seems to be the startling revelation that he may face a leadership challenge if he loses.
Sorry, that should be "when" of course :-)

Not many of the Cons are happy with Dave in their party,and we all know he will not be their leader when he loses the election this year. They will no doubt have Boris as their leader then. WAP.

I have thought - and opined on here may times, that Ed Milliband is not an electable leader.

He is not at all photogenic (not his fault), he has a dreadful speaking voice (not his fault), he has no leadership charisma, and he stabbed his brother in the back - entirely his fault, and it is the last two which really count.

If Labour lose, I suspect he will resign as Leader within twenty-four hours, and if they win, he should be safe for a while, but a challenge will come sooner rather than later.

Interesting times ahead.

Interesting that the guy ( Stefano Pessina ) boss of boots that say's 'Electing Ed Miliband would be a catastrophe' lives in Monaco !.

See this article in today's Guardian, from Professor Paul Whiteley, of Essex University ::::

Its interesting that the Tories and their various mouthpieces, like the DM, seem to be content to make personal comments on Labour, rather than try to debate issues. Its seems that the British people can see through these personal attacks and are still more keen to back Labour's policies, rather than the Tories.

Electoralcalculus are still predicting that dave is not going to win an outright majority ::

Notice that the UKIP vote is still predicted to be negligible, despite all the hot air and hyperbole from Farage and his supporters.

Still all to play for it would seem, with only 3 months to go !

The D Mail is a Tory paper - always has been.
