In an interview with the 麻豆社鈥檚 Andrew Marr, the Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna praised Ed Miliband for reforming the party and leading a courageous election campaign.

But Mr Miliband鈥檚 resignation has seen bookies turn their attention on to his successor.

Although Mr Umunna did not say he would be putting himself forward for the leadership contest, he stated that he intended to play the fullest part he could in rebuilding our party and "ensuring we have a proper debate.鈥�

He described the party鈥檚 loss as a 鈥渃ollective failure鈥� but pointed in particular to the lack of clarity around Labour鈥檚 policies around business. 鈥淥ur business agenda was pro-business,鈥� he said, 鈥渂ut people were under the impression that it wasn鈥檛.鈥�
