Lord Reid said Labour was still recovering from the “worst election defeat in its history”. Ed Miliband faces a “huge challenge” to get Labour back on track, a former senior Cabinet minister has said.
Former Home Secretary Lord Reid said the party had had “no strategic direction” for three years.
There had been a “vacuum in policy”, he told the BBC’s Daily Politics. Mr Miliband has launched a policy review.
Lord Reid, who stood down as an MP at the election, also praised David Cameron – saying he had been “astute” since becoming prime minister.
