Labour critics of Ed Miliband are warning his supporters that they are in danger of exacerbating internal unease about his leadership by attacking party loyalists who say they are reflecting concerns they hear on the doorstep.

As the former Labour leader Neil Kinnock accused the critics of cowardice and a “tendency towards political suicide”, one MP warned of a horrible atmosphere over the “cack-handed” response of Miliband’s team.

Lucy Powell, who was promoted to the shadow cabinet last week to take a key role in Labour’s general election team, highlighted concerns at senior levels of the party when she warned that five days of hostile briefing against Miliband was undermining his authority.

The shadow Cabinet Office minister told Pienaar’s Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live: “These things often feed themselves. When you have continuing anonymous stories being floated around that somehow Ed has lost the confidence of his MPs, that feeds a wider concern in the public whether he has the leadership qualities to lead his own party, let alone the country. So that doesn’t help.”

Tony Blair 'signed secret contract with Saudi oil company worth £41,000 a month'

Former prime minister reportedly agreed to help PetroSaudi through his company Tony Blair Associates (TBA) in November 2010

Tony Blair signed a secret contract with a Saudi oil company worth £41,000 a month and two per cent commission on any lucrative deals he helped secure, it has been claimed.

The former prime minister reportedly agreed to help PetroSaudi through his company Tony Blair Associates (TBA) in November 2010, according to documents obtained by the Sunday Times.

It is believed to be the first time a contract negotiated by Mr Blair since leaving office has been revealed. The work only lasted a few months.

Mr Blair, who holds the diplomatic role of Middle East Peace Envoy, has faced repeated criticism in the past over his high earnings since leaving Downing Street.

His decision to send British troops into Iraq alongside America in 2003 proved highly controversial, triggering ministerial resignations at the time and becoming a defining moment in his premiership.

A PetroSaudi source told the paper: "[Blair] has got deep ties to the Middle East and that is how we got to know him. We know a lot of people in common and they put us in touch. It was a confidential engagement to help us develop business in China."

A spokesperson for Mr Blair said: 'Tony Blair Associates worked for PetroSaudi for a period of months over four years ago.

'This was in connection with an issue in the Far East and nothing whatsoever to do with the Middle East or the unpaid ex-officio role of Tony Blair for the Quartet in Palestine. TBA has had no involvement in Malaysia and has no knowledge of the matter."

Man banned from entering park on his own because of paedophile fears


Matthew Richards was not allowed into Puxton Park in Weston-super-Mare as he was by himself

A man has been barred from entering a park because of a policy banning single men or women without children from visiting the attraction in case they are paedophiles.

Matthew Richards travelled 25 miles to see a falconry display at Puxton Park, near Weston-super-Mare, but was unable to view the show because of the rule, which is enforced supposedly to protect children.

The grandfather and father of three grown up children had previously visited the park with his family to see the falconry displays.

Mr Richards told the Western Daily Press: "I was frankly amazed. I couldn't see anything about the rule on the brochure which I picked up at another attraction."

The ban on unaccompanied men or women in the park has apparently been in place for the past seven years and while it can be found on the park’s website it is not prominently displayed.
