Labour needs to be “bolder” but Sir Keir Starmer should be given time to rebuild the party’s support, former leader Ed Miliband has said.
The shadow business secretary’s comments came after Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner admitted that members of the public did not know what Sir Keir “stood for” before they went to the poll.
Mr Miliband said the party’s senior figures have a “collective responsibility” to “show what we stand for”. Keir Starmer has provided new leadership… but we all have a collective responsibility to show exactly what we stand for @bbcnickrobinson asks shadow business secretary Ed Miliband how has Labour Party changed since he stepped down as leaderhttps://t.co/0b1LY2v5sE#R4Todaypic.twitter.com/iZVRcfkgaQ

Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner has referred to her “very frank relationship” with Sir Keir Starmer amid claims he tried to sack her from the shadow cabinet after the party’s damaging election losses.
Ms Rayner claimed she was appointed to her new roles because she wanted to be more “front-facing” in the reshuffled top team, after she was stripped of her roles as party chairwoman and campaign co-ordinator over the weekend.
Amid accusations the Labour leader was trying to make Ms Rayner a scapegoat, it was announced late on Sunday she would be given a new role shadowing Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove.
