Labour frontbenchers come out in support of leader Ed Miliband yesterday, crediting him for turning the party’s fortunes around since the 2010 general election.
Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint dismissed suggestions that Mr Miliband was seen as too “weird” to become Prime Minister, saying his “authenticity” was one of his major assets.
Speaking on BBC One’s Sunday Politics she said: “Ed is part of Labour’s success, definitely, in the last few years.”
Meanwhile, shadow international development secretary Jim Murphy brushed off a report suggesting that Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham were being positioned as a “dream team” to replace Mr Miliband in the event of Labour losing next year’s election.
East Renfrewshire MP Mr Murphy, who was demoted from the defence brief when Mr Miliband reshuffled his frontbench team last year, said Labour’s leader had been successful in preventing the party tearing itself apart after the 2010 election defeat.
