A third of Labour voters believe Ed Miliband should not lead the party into the next General Election.

According to a new poll only two out of every ten voters are satisfied with the Labour leader's performance.

Of those who voted for Labour in 2010, 34% said he should not lead the party into the 2015 general election, while just 46% said he should.

The ICM poll carried out for the Daily Mirror also found that 21% of voters said they are satisfied with the way he is leading the party, double the number (42%) said they are dissatisfied.

Main lead story on last night's programme - Silliband's collapsing poll ratings and the wealth of Labour MPs (and former cabinet ministers) berating his performance.

Wednesday's papers discuss what they describe as "growing pressure" on Labour leader Ed Miliband over the party's (in)ability to win public support.

The Guardian reports that former senior figures Alistair Darling and David Blunkett have joined a "chorus" of Labour politicians saying the party should be doing better.

The Daily Mail argues that if the Labour leader is determined to ignore the experience of party "oldies" to try to distance himself from New Labour, he is already failing by having Andy Burnham and Ed Balls in the shadow cabinet.

The Independent appears to think Mr Blunkett damned Ed Miliband with faint praise when he likened him to the former Labour prime minister, Clement Attlee, describing him as a fantastic leader but not the most vibrant public performer.

The Daily Express reckons Mr Miliband would do better to stand down to save time. When a leader gets as many brickbats from his own side as his rivals, it says, you know he is in trouble.

Ed Miliband should consider resigning for the sake of the Labour Party, a senior Blairite warned yesterday.

Brian Wilson, who served as energy minister under Tony Blair, said the Labour leader had a duty to 'look in the mirror and honestly answer the question: 'Will the electorate ever assent to me being Prime Minister?'

Mr Wilson, who held a number of other senior roles, said opinion poll findings on Mr Miliband's personal popularity were 'somewhere between dire and disappointing'.

It remains me of the 50% who supported B- Liar when he said there were WMD in Iraq (and who now hide and don't want to be reminded - through embarrassment.

It's quite obvious (to me) that after many attempts to defend this loony you finally accept that he's doomed (and you now bitterly regret having defended him)

Expect Andy Burnham to make his move this week .....
