ED MILIBAND was right to make challenging inequality the key plank of his fightback speech yesterday.

The Labour leader’s call for party members to “focus our eyes on the prize of changing this country” should shame the Blairite goons trying to undermine him into shutting up for a while.

And, coming so shortly after shadow health secretary Andy Burnham’s reference to “vested interests” lurking behind attacks on the opposition, Miliband is correct to identify the fear of a Labour victory as the motive for increasingly hysterical attacks on him personally.
