Apart from the Miliband commentary piece itself, there is a fairly straight news report on the front of The Guardian. There is a somewhat daft report in The Times, which opens by saying: "David Miliband tomorrow dares Gordon Brown to sack him by setting out how Labour can still w...

In an article in today’s Guardian, Simon Jenkins writes that the Tories will win the next election because of the electability of David Cameron as Prime Minister and nothing else. Based on the Conservative Party Conference thus far, it’s hard to disagree with him. In fact, going back further it has long been the case that
