Frank Field is calling on David Miliband to run now, he condemned Gordon as

“a candidate whose hands have been on the steering wheel for the last decade”

Labour’s Yoda said his party’s best hope lay in the

“younger generation, in a candidate who is not linked in the public mind with what will soon be seen as stage one of New Labour’s journey.

Step forward, David Miliband.”

Why wait? Gordon will not win an outright majority at the General Election, because he cannot be a “renewal” candidate. Why wait until you lose to go to the next generation?
