Caption: Reeves Allies Turn On Miliband As Labour Leadership Battle Intensifies. Allies of Rachel Reeves have launched attacks on Ed Miliband amid growing tensions over Labour’s future leadership and economic direction. Supporters of Reeves fear she could be pushed aside if Keir Starmer is removed as Labour leader following disastrous election results. Miliband is seen by some MPs as positioning himself for control of the Treasury if Andy Burnham succeeds in replacing Starmer. One government minister warned Labour “cannot afford a repeat of the Liz Truss experiment,” in comments widely interpreted as criticism of Miliband’s economic approach. Reeves’ allies argue she remains essential to reassuring financial markets and maintaining confidence in Britain’s economy. Critics within Labour accuse Reeves of helping damage the party’s popularity through spending cuts, tax rises and controversial welfare policies. Tensions between Burnham and Reeves have reportedly worsened over disagreements on fiscal policy and economic strategy, despite both sides insisting they remain on good terms. The growing infighting comes as Labour faces mounting pressure over Starmer’s future, with senior figures increasingly positioning themselves for a possible leadership contest.
