Comments about David Miliband
Mcauleypolitics: a bit of disunity in the snp?? the loss of someone who picked up nearly 48% of the vote could be a concern but... david miliband (presumptive future leader and brother of ed) left the labour frontbenches and parliament and labour survived. seeNickreeves9876: what a depressing list. the answer is david miliband. with him as labour leader there would have been no tory victory in 2015 and no brexit. the uk would now be wealthier, kinder and more european.
Andypeacock999: used to think david miliband was the bigger miliband bastard but ed's made it clear they are both cvnts.
Toryfibs: today, ed miliband backed kicking corbyn out of the labour plp permanently because of “antisemitism”. here is a video from 2013 of jeremy corbyn defending ed miliband’s father against vile tropes and slurs from the daily mail. no other mp would do so.
Richard_carr: this isn't a "david miliband would have been the messiah" thing. it's just i can't regard him as "a good guy, if anything too modest" given he has this set of skills yet still put himself forward for (the highest) office.
