AS his chances of becoming Prime Minister diminish by the day, Ed Miliband has now received an oath of loyalty from his party's candidate for Wirral West.

In her letter, also signed by Labour candidates from elsewhere in the country and published on the Labour List website, Margaret Greenwood, pledges her support and condemns others for destabilising his chances.

I'm not sure who is more out of touch – Ed Miliband for thinking he can be Prime Minister or Margaret Greenwood for thinking he should be.

It's clear that most people, even most Labour voters, do not believe Ed Miliband is the best person to lead their party, let alone lead our country.
