Labour must unite behind Ed, says David

DAVID MILIBAND pleaded with Labour yesterday not to turn the leadership struggle into the kind of “soap opera” that disfigured the Blair and Brown era.

Making his first appearance on the conference stage in Manchester since his narrow defeat, the shadow foreign secretary called on the party to unite behind younger brother Ed.

But he also fuelled speculation over his own future by failing to commit to serving on Labour’s top team.
