Fear and paranoia grip Labour Party leader Ed Miliband’s team

Steve Richards writes in the New Statesman of Ed Miliband:

The mood around Ed Miliband is one of paranoia and suspicion… Ed Miliband faces a crisis. The impossible task of leadership becomes even tougher for the player in difficulty. Dissenters grumble more loudly. There is a sense of panic…

There is a degree of paranoia about the conduct of other frontbenchers.

That’s not a good look for a party leader wanting to be successful.
