Miliband should watch his back
Via Guido Fawkes
There is no byline to this Daily Mail piece outlining the apparent “talking up” of Harriet Harman’s prospects of being a candidate for the Labour leadership “should a vacancy arise”.
Some supporters of the Prime Minister say she could emerge as a choice for what is being described as the ‘anybody but David Miliband camp’.
The Foreign Secretary and South Shields MP is favoured by some as the obvious alternative to Mr Brown, and many are urging him to show his hand.
The leadership is being discussed by all Labour MPs as they contemplate the prospect of a catastrophic general election defeat under Mr Brown. There is growing speculation that the Prime Minister might not survive the party conference season in the autumn.
I seem to recall that she did a very creditable job standing in for Brown at PMQs a while back, in fact she performed better than the PM usually does, and her middle class credentials should do her no harm at all, yet Mike Smithson only yesterday was gambling that Gordon will probably stay.
Is it any surprise that this should leak out whilst both Gordon Brown and David Miliband are out of the country?
Miliband’s aides, Duffy et al, should warn their master to watch his back!
