Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander has sounded a warning to Labour MPs reported to be agitating against Ed Miliband.

He told the BBC's Question Time that "divided parties lose elections".

I think Ed probably was the first British political leader to understand the depth of the change that the financial crisis brought to British politics. Now, he has got challenges, but all of us have got challenges in every political party and every one of us in the Labour party has got to reflect the reality that divided parties lose elections.

– Douglas Alexander
