The Scotsman cartoon: The cost of Miliband crisis

The Labour leader has faced a turbulent few days amid reports of plots, including claims that 20 shadow ministers are poised to call on him to quit.

Mr Miliband will today attempt to get back on the front foot with an attack on Prime Minister David Cameron’s European policy, claiming it is placing millions of jobs at risk.

Neil Kinnock insisted that Mr Miliband’s position is not under threat, while Caroline Flint, the shadow energy minister, said the Labour leader had managed to pull the party together to focus on the issues affecting the country.
