Miliband admits Labour was wrong on Gaza
Original: ‘You were right’: Ed Miliband tells critics Labour was wrong on Gaza
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband will tell Labour's conference that critics of the party's position on Gaza 'were right', in an admission that Labour was wrong. In his speech he is expected to say the government is 'not here to accept the status quo but to change it'. The remarks mark a notable shift from a senior cabinet minister on one of the most divisive foreign policy issues within the party.
Why now: A senior minister publicly conceding Labour was wrong on Gaza ahead of the party conference is unusual and politically significant.
