SENIOR Labour Party figures criticised Ed Miliband for being “far too timid” yesterday after a poll showed the Tories have moved into a two-point lead.
Party grandee John Prescott accused the Labour leader of showing a severe lack of ambition.
His views were shared by two prominent Labour donors, Lord Noon — who said the party “really needs to buck up” — and Lord Levy, who criticised plans for a mansion tax.
The YouGov survey for the Sunday Times showed the Tories had jumped to 36 per cent following their party conference, with Labour on 34, Ukip on 13 and the Liberal Democrats on 7.
A week ago the Conservatives trailed by five.
Mr Prescott said Labour’s leadership appeared to have resigned itself to not winning an overall majority at the 2015 general election and was seeking only to shore up its “core vote.”
Urging Mr Miliband to “go all out for the win” in his Sunday Mirror column, he warned that “time is running out” to set out vote-winning policies.
