Miliband wants a tree near his home chopped down (Image: Getty)
Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband will have to pay ￡70,000 for home repairs after losing a dispute with his neighbours over a tree in his back garden.
The former Labour MP has now threatened to sue to local council after his second attempt to have the tree chopped down was dismissed.

Mr Miliband wants to cut down the 26ft tall Acer because he says it has caused damage to the foundations of his ￡3.5million home in Primrose Hill, north London, Mail Online reports.
The house will now have to undergo ￡68,273's worth of repair work to prevent further damage, he says.
Mr Miliband also blames the cracks in his walls and ceiling on a 37ft high Mimosa in his neighbour's garden.

His neighbours don't want the trees to be chopped down as they say they are a haven for wildlife.
Mr Miliband had a second application to have the Acer chopped down rejected earlier this year.
The council said: "The tree is considered to make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area."
On the dispute surrounding the Mimosa, they added: "The evidence submitted at this time is not considered to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the tree is contributing to the damage."

This is the second dispute Mr Miliband has had with his neighbours in recent years.
After moving to New York in 2013, his neighbours complained about big parties that were being held by property developer Robert Soning, the tenant renting the home at the time.
Mr Soning admitted to hosting parties but said the neighbours were on a "witch hunt" and they were "too sensitive."
