David Miliband making a statement this afternoon

May 12, 2010 2:14 pm by Jim Pickard

I realise all eyes are on the new government, with the Clegg-Cameron first joint press conference just minutes away.

But things are also on the move within Labour, with David Miliband expected to make a statement of intent at about 3.30pm – as Labour MPs come out of their PLP gathering (which starts at 2.30pm). Can’t imagine what it might be about.

UPDATE

Have just come from Westminster hall where a small cluster of more than a dozen Miliband-ites MPs had gathered; including Gareth Thomas, Jim Fitzpatrick and Mark Tami. Alas the statement has been delayed to 5.15pm because Miliband is at shadow cabinet.
