THE SUNDAY EXPRESS: DAVID Miliband was last night being urged to challenge Gordon Brown for the Labour leadership to save the party from meltdown in a general election.
The Foreign Secretary, reported to be holding a weekend “summit” with allies at his country retreat in Chevening, Kent, is seen by many as Labour’s best hope of heading off David Cameron’s resurgent Tories.
Senior Blairites, including former spin chief Alastair Campbell, are pressing him to depose the Prime Minister for the good of the party.
As Mr Brown prepared to tour TV studios today to accept the blame for Labour’s woes, a senior party source told the Sunday Express that Mr Miliband was close to agreeing to put himself forward.
