Ed Miliband to admit Labour's past stance on Palestine fell short

Original: Ed Miliband to acknowledge Labour’s former stance on Palestine fell short

Foreign secretary Ed Miliband will use his speech to Labour's conference to acknowledge that the party's former position on Palestine fell short, telling delegates 'we are not here to accept the status quo but to change it'. The admission signals a notable shift in Labour's language on the issue and comes amid ongoing debate within the party over its approach to the conflict.

Why now: Miliband is publicly breaking with Labour's historical position on Palestine at a moment of intense debate over UK policy toward the conflict.
