British Labour Party conference to open with unity plea
The British Labour Party’s annual conference kicks off in Manchester today with a plea from one of Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s closest Cabinet allies for the party to unite and turn its fire on the Conservatives.
Cabinet Office minister Ed Miliband – brother of the man tipped as Mr Brown’s most likely successor, Foreign Secretary David Miliband – will tell delegates they have a “responsibility” to focus on the needs of the country, not internal in-fighting.
