PM has reached new low - Miliband
Labour leader Ed Miliband has hit out at David Cameron for using the Paul Flowers scandal to attack his party's links to the co-operative movement.

He condemned the Government's lack of "imagination and vision" for supporting these schools and warned that many experienced school leaders are "desperately anxious" about the survival of their boarding houses.
