Ouch! Scots Labour in meltdown and now Tony Blair says Ed is too left wing to win election

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ed-miliband/11187285/Tony-Blair-Miliband-has-failed-to-connect-with-voters-and-is-doomed-to-election-defeat.html

In his last public comments about British politics in July, Blair warned Ed Miliband about retreating into a left-wing “comfort zone” and said the party has not yet developed a “narrative that is about the future of the country.” Even John Prescott, Mr Blair’s former deputy, has said Mr Miliband is pursuing a “core vote strategy” of appealing only to traditional Labour supporters.

All this on the day after Johann Lamont steps down as Scots Labour leader, 5 days after saying she was not going to quit - and blames Westminster politicians for meddling and scheming against her.
