Ed Miliband facing leadership crisis as his popularity ratings sink below CLEGG

Ed Miliband has made a public call for Labour MPs to back him, adding fuel to the crisis surrounding his leadership.

At least four backbenchers have called on Mr Miliband to step down amid growing fears that he is leading his party to a general election defeat.

The Labour leader used an unplanned television interview to try to dismiss talk of a plot against him.

It is understood that Mr Miliband decided to confront the leadership issue publicly because he feared allies of Gordon Brown were organising a concerted attempt to remove him. But the high-risk strategy appeared to backfire as MPs said Mr Miliband had only deepened the sense of crisis around his leadership.

“Going on television to talk about it was mad. It makes it look even worse than it is,” one frontbencher said. “I started off thinking this was the usual grumbling, but now it looks more serious than that.”

Trouble is rife in the pedophile party tonight as the knives come out for Mr Clueless from Primrose Hill. That said, who will or could possibly take over? The only one with seemingly enough brains to fill an egg cup and at least listen to the working classes who are leaving in droves to Ukip and the SNP would be Alan Johnson.... Chucka Ummna, Harriet 'PIE' Harman and Yvette Cooper are just as piss poor as this guy.

Personally I would like Chucka Ummna to take over as he's the one who is at least honest when he says that anybody who dares believe in a controlled immigration policy is a nasty waycist - which is what they all think but won't dare say in public. Chucka will surely win the vote in Bradford and Islington but not anywhere else which would make him a great asset in tearing yet more of the working class vote away from Labour.
