Labour leader Ed Miliband faces disquiet from backbenchers after seeing his party's poll lead cut
Labour needs to do more to produce clear policies ahead of the next general election, one of the party's MPs has told the BBC.
Graham Stringer told Radio 4's The World This Weekend there has been a "deafening silence" from the shadow cabinet on policy matters.
Though "enormously loyal" to leader Ed Miliband, Mr Stringer said the leadership lacks coherence.
His comments come after a senior MP said Labour need to "shout louder".
BBC political correspondent Susana Mendonca said Ed Miliband, recently returned from holiday, knows that the pressure is on for him to set out what Labour stands for.
She said: "With the party's poll lead shirking by three points to 7% there has been disquiet on the backbenches."
On Saturday, shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the party would run out of time to regain public support unless it came up with bold policies by the spring.
But Mr Stringer said Labour did not have that long and needed to set out its case by the party conference in late September.
