Ed Miliband aims at Tory EU weak spot
But allies fear Labour leader has wrong target as he tries to put PM’s own woes into spotlight

Embattled Ed Miliband will come out swinging today in a speech on Europe designed to stem the onslaught of internal attacks by putting the spotlight back on Tory division. 

In an address to the CBI business lobby, Labour’s leader will accuse Prime Minister David Cameron of putting millions of jobs at risk by “flirting” with an EU exit.

Mr Miliband will also try to rally supporters behind him by pledging a recovery package that “works for everyone and not just a few.”
