| Description | Ed Miliband is suffering more vicious attacks at the hands of newspapers than his predecessors, according to former Labour leader Lord Kinnock, including his own famously hostile treatment during the 1992 general election campaign.
Kinnock said the Daily Mail's attacks on Miliband's late father, Ralph, were "worse than I had" and accused the media of being out to "scrag Ed from the start".
He spoke out as Miliband's team claimed a major victory, when a senior representative of the Daily Mail admitted that the article depicting Ralph Miliband as "The Man Who Hated Britain" may have been "wrongly labelled". A Labour spokesman said the newspaper's "defence is crumbling" after Alex Brummer, the City editor, told Channel 4 News the piece "perhaps should have said the word 'comment' on it".
