The Sunday Times suggests that Labour is beginning to tear itself apart.
It claims Foreign Secretary David Miliband has told friends he would stand for the leadership if enough backbenchers turn against Gordon Brown.
The Observer reports that up to 40 backbenchers may be ready to back a leadership challenge.
That is dismissed by an unnamed ally of the prime minister who asks the Mail on Sunday: "Are Labour MPs really going to commit political hara-kiri en masse?"

I said some months ago that the powers that be in the UK have been grooming David Miiband for stardom. These anti Brown noises are more about getting Miliand into power than anything else.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
