LONDON – Former British foreign secretary David Miliband was forced to deny plotting against his brother yesterday, amid claims that the pair are still feuding over the Labour leadership.
Mr Miliband called for the party to unite behind his brother, dismissing reports that he was hoping for him to fail as “soap opera”.
“I have moved on from the leadership election and so should everyone else,” Mr Miliband said in a statement. “Ed won, I stand fully behind him and so should everyone else.”
The latest speculation has been sparked by an unauthorised biography alleging that the fallout from last year’s contest was worse than either brother has admitted.
The revelations have fuelled doubts about Mr Miliband’s future amid criticism of his performance against David Cameron. – (PA)
