LABOUR ACTIVISTS are mounting a bid to oust the environment minister, David Miliband, as head of the party's green wing because he supports nuclear power.
Miliband, increasingly mentioned as a possible challenger to Gordon Brown for Labour leader, was appointed president of the Socialist Environmentand Resources Association (Sera) in January. Sera is affiliated to the Labour Party, and has been influential in formulating its environmental policy for years. Although Sera has always opposed nuclear power, Miliband has repeatedly said the technology has a role to play in tackling climate change. Now Scottish Sera members are spearheading a campaign to force Miliband out. They say more than 30 members across the UK have pledged to sign a letter demanding a meeting to discuss a motion calling on Miliband to "graciously move aside".
His dad would agree.
