Miliband's Reaction In his early morning media interviews, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the party to focus on country-wide matters rather than party divisions. Look, I think the media briefing has been unhelpful, without doubt. But my message to the Labour party now is clear, which is we need to focus on the nation, not ourselves. We were given a significant victory last July, a historic chance to transform our nation. And we have a serious duty.
