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. See
nickreeves9876: 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.
stugraham581: Oh dear Mr Miliband. You struck me as one of the few decent Labour Shadow Ministers. Now the veil has been removed and lo and behold you are showing the lack of principles so beloved of your brother David.
Sad.
Very sad.
Thought you were better.
ox_anna29: Based can’t wait to campaign in Islington North for David Miliband
BeckettUnite: Uncomfortable truth for many but Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour received more votes in England than Blair, Kinnock, Brown, Miliband & many before that.
You have to go all the way back to 1951 to find a Labour leader who was able to achieve more votes for Labour in England than Jeremy.
tedjbaldwin: It did have the positive effect of forcing David Miliband out of frontline politics.
BBCPropaganda: I can see why Ed Miliband endorses the ban on Jeremy Corbyn standing for Labour. If the billionaires had been in charge of the party when he stood for leader Blair's bag carrier David Miliband would be famous for having his picture taken with a stone, not Gordon's bag carrier Ed
conradlandin: David Miliband didn’t accept a post, John Prescott got his by virtue of being deputy leader and Bryan Gould got national heritage.
JohnRentoul: David Lammy says he will lobby US for UK exemptions from green subsidies in Inflation Reduction Act;
Ed Miliband says UK must “stop moaning about the Inflation Reduction Act and start matching its ambition”
TheRoot57252511: Its going to be weird seeing Yevtte Cooper, John Healey ,Ed Miliband, David Lammy and possibly Hilary Benn as the the folks who were in the last Labour Gov being in the next one
RealDavidCarter: Now runs a fake refugee charity, that's been investigated for financial irregularities, and commands a salary of $800,000 +. From a 'charity'.
Rachael_Swindon: People are very quick to forget, when the Daily Mail launched a vile campaign against Ralph Miliband, the Jewish father of Ed and David, Jeremy Corbyn was one of the very first to defend Mr Miliband.
residentadviser: Gardiner. Supported Hazel Blears, plotted against Brown, PPS to Mandelson, backed David Miliband. Then he joined the shadow cabinet in 2016 after the coup and explicitly said “I didn’t vote for Jeremy”. Suggested that he wouldn’t vote for Corbyn even in VONC. Now a Corbynite.
EddieBarnes23: Today will have to go some to beat Miliband v Miliband in 2010. I remember being in the hall in Manchester that day when Ed beat David and I can still hear the gasp.
AaronBastani: A genuinely bizarre motion with no mention of anti semitism.
In 2019 Corbyn's Labour still got a higher % than Miliband in 2015 & Brown in 2010. That's grounds for him to be blocked from standing?
Anyone who cares about decency & fairness should recognise this is a sham.
OwenJones84: The motion to ban Jeremy Corbyn being reselected as a Labour candidate by his local members is based entirely on leading the party to defeat.
That logic would mean expelling Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband.
And Starmer praised Corbyn to the hilt during the 2020 leadership election
nickreeves9876: Tory-Russia links:
2014 Article: David Cameron 'must answer for Russian oligarchs' donations'
Ed Miliband particularly questions £160,000 donation Tories accepted from wife of former Russian finance minister

AntiWhiteWatch1: David Miliband who ran International Rescue Committee which brought thousands of criminals migrants into the UK and Europe is the son of "refugee" Ralph Miliband who was an extreme marxist who hated the UK despite fleeing there.
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
SebastianEPayne: At a similar stage in the 1990s, Tony Blair had an ample movement. Will Hutton published his seminal text 'The State We’re In', the IPPR made waves with its Commission on Social Justice led by David Miliband. Columnists made the daily case for New Labour.
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
rivereside: And Novara, which you and Corbyn have repeatedly and warmly endorsed, is run by a former aide to David Miliband who's called Andy Burnham, a Starmer ally, a legend who should be the next Labour leader. Is support for war criminals fine when Novara do it?
aryafah: This is quite sad actually. When I used to work in Parliament, I made TikToks featuring David Lammy, Ed Miliband and Lindsay Hoyle. Even Azeem Rafiq made an appearance after I bumped into him at PCH.
kmflett: According to a letter to the Times Boris Johnson even lies about bananas
kmflett: Boris Johnson lied about EU policy on bananas to a Tory selection meeting once. What about the Downing St parties?
Colmans_Mustard: 1980 - Shore
1983 - Shore
1988 - Kinnick
1992 - Smith
1994 - Beckett or Blair
2007 - n/a (Brown supporter)
2010 - David Miliband
2015 - Cooper

2020 - Starmer (voted for, initially wanted Thornberry)
* I was only 16... and didn't like Owen Smith!
kmflett: The politics of bananas: from David Miliband to Boris Johnson
IanCLucas: It had a huge long term impact on Labour and was probably the reason David Miliband did not become Leader in 2010, or even before that.
LeftBrexit: There are rumours of the return of the Blairite 'prodigal son', David Miliband - among other New Labour figures.
GuidoFawkes: By coincidence Guido has noticed that an increasing amount of fundraising advertising for the International Rescue Committee (President and CEO, David Miliband) can be seen on screens in the UK. Featuring David Miliband of course:
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
HandfordSteven: David Miliband on Sky. "International Rescue." Looking and sounding every inch like the US State Dept Thunderbird marionette he is.
christi02455387: Be prepared for David Miliband to be brought back into the hierarchy of New Labour, although he needs to be given a constituency, as for some reason Sky News just giving him a platform talking about Syria, currently on 1 million dollars salary as CEO of International Rescue
AngelaWalkr: Exclusive: Labour’s Ed Miliband holds talks with North Sea industry boss as party ‘prepares for power’

tedhartley: David Miliband, foreign sec at the time, sold Israel a load of armaments to assist them in this murder…
LiquidityAdd: The problems that the world faces - from nuclear proliferation to climate change - can't be tackled by the West alone. They need a coalition of not just West and East, but they need a coalition of Christian and Jew and Muslim. David Miliband
MrsBurgin: Honestly why do these debates become so polarised?
Someone living in a safe Tory seat applying for a nearby winnable seat, or a seat they grew up in is *not* the same as David Miliband applying for South Shields.
But these things do get treated as if they are the same.
hellamouseshit: why did david cameron resign? ed miliband
Obsayxx: David Miliband as an MP and then cabinet minister stood fully behind Labour's increasingly restrictive and authoritarian attacks on asylum seekers, and promises to deport more and more people. This ridiculous charade is how our rotten system works.
AngryOozaru: Yes, a couple million Ukrainian refugees went back to their country last year: David Miliband
USW_TomorrowM: Join us for our next Tomorrow Matters events with Rt. Hon. David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee on the 17th March and Baroness Frances O’Grady, former General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress on the 24th March.
lulumindudu1: Must confess I really want the Sue Gray affair to cause a civil war inside Labour. What are the potential factions?
David Miliband from across the water? Blair pushing for personal involvement?
TerriblePastry: remember when ed miliband hired david axelrod because of this attitude and became pm?
oh
jemtickner: David Axelrod advised Ed Miliband and said the UK was the toughest media environment he’d ever worked in. Jim Messina worked for Theresa May and told her on election-eve she was going to win 400 seats. You can’t just drop a billion dollars on an election here
instaDG: Let's take a look at the Labour Party.
Ed & David Miliband. Lord Kinnock, Baroness Kinnock and Stephen Kinnock MP. Lord Mandelson, grandson of Lord Morrison. The Benn Dynasty. I could go on.
When are you going to campaign to abolish the nepotism in your own party?
p_ceretti: Great conversation here! Please check it out if you have the time.
leninology: A quizzical, suspicious glare from the nest, almost perfectly imitating David Miliband’s resting expression.

deoca45: David Miliband and Ian Bremmer discuss the Atlas of Impunity
A_Soft_Soul: Some Govt special advisers run to become MPs in parliament – Ed Miliband, Matt Hancock and Oliver Dowden all served as special advisers prior to their election; David Cameron had been a special adviser in the early 1990s. Just as it is permissible for Sue Gray to work for Labour.
A_Soft_Soul: I’m old enough to recall how Cummings recruited SpAds. In fact some Govt special advisers ran to become MPs. Ed Miliband, Matt Hancock & Oliver Dowden served as special advisers prior to election; David Cameron was a special adviser in the early 1990s.
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
DMiliband: My open letter to the UN Security Council Members pleading for them to renew the Syria Cross-Border Resolution. The human cost of not renewing cannot be overstated. Syrian lives depend on it. As does the reputation and relevance of the UN Security Council.
EuanYours: They’re 100% trying to David Miliband her
TKMarx: David Miliband voted for the Iraq War. He was foreign Secretary when Afghanistan was attacked. Does anyone think he has not demonstrated impunity to the disasters of the wars he helped? Must have dreamt his huge salary when in fact he is in a prison cell…
Richard_Carr: Blair described David Miliband as his Rooney. What’s Hancock to Osborne? Ravel Morrison feels generous
Support_SMART: “In 2013, the choice was David Cameron versus Ed Miliband – centrist versus centrist. Today it’s Rishi Sunak versus Sir Keir Starmer. No difference. Toryism has made little mark on the country.”
Marina__Coyle: The Tories have wasted their time in power
In 2013, the choice was David Cameron versus Ed Miliband – centrist versus centrist. Today it’s Rishi Sunak versus Sir Keir Starmer. No difference. Toryism has made little mark on the country.
robbingham: Did I imagine David Cameron and Ed Miliband vying for Russell Brand’s support during the 2015 election?

MlleKitty: In case anyone starts in on the of “low value” humanities:
Justin Trudeau, the leader of Canada, is an English major.
Theresa May read geography.
Ed Miliband & David Cameron read philosophy.
Boris Johnson read classics.
Gordon Brown, Harold Wilson & Clement Atlee read history.
SeekThe54341680: David Milliband former Labour MP,is making a lot of money out asylum seekers charity International Rescue & bringing in asylum seekers. On a Salary of 848k no wonder Labour love asylum seekers even when they commit terrorist acts, rape & murder locals.
AngelaW70903357: 2010 -The Labour leadership race today developed into a battle between Miliband brothers over who could best unite the party & end divisions of the Blair-Brown era, with Ed presenting himself as "unity" candidate & David declaring New Labour years over
CheemaSupporter: David Miliband
RichSimcox: Weird ID card freak and despot lover Tony Blair has his own chair in the Today Programme studio and there’s talk of a return to UK politics for David ‘The Worst’ Miliband. Lessons learned: zero
EuanYours: David Miliband would have won in 2010 if he'd been more popular with the selectorate overall than Ed Miliband.
He wasn't.
More people liked him *the most*, but a slim majority overall favoured Ed over him.
British_AOC: David Miliband is the British AOC!
hellamouseshit: why did david cameron resign? ed miliband
BBCPropaganda: Why does Mandy get a voice on TV? Unless you are going to quiz him about his ties to Epstein then stop pushing these corrupt has-been losers as 'influencers'. They have no influence. If they did we'd have voted REMAIN and David Miliband would be PM

SandraChitayat: Crimes against humanity. Crime of aggression by Russia. David Miliband & Ms. Kaja Kallas.
flying_rodent: David Miliband on impunity here, just to underline that it’s all bullshit and nothing is real
David_Jamieson7: Look at David Miliband nodding away to the idea of putting someone on trial for a "war of aggression".
He, like Putin, is too lacking in humanity to fall below any standard. But a society that tolerates this hypocrisy....
joecguinan: If anyone has gotten away with impunity, David Miliband has over his role in extraordinary rendition and the whole charnel house of Iraq.
chimp_chirpy: Oh Mandelson is there
Now all I'm saying is David Miliband was taking about impunity recently
badmaleproject: David Miliband's Recent book "The Age of Impunity" regarding the negative impact on the world of powerful agencies through the abuse of their power could be rolled into this discussion. Thanks. Richard

EuanYours: Blair to Brown went poorly, Blair to his actual protege David Miliband didn’t happen. Cameron to Osborne didn’t happen. May never had a successor lined up, Truss was kind of one to Johnson and that went as bad as it could have.
tianran: ICYMI >> David Miliband ‘rushed in’ Chagos Islands protection order
ianpatterson99: Soft Sturgeon. What does she do next beyond a break and a book?
No doubt she’s got an international reputation. Something like a David Miliband? or an international charity role?
Or a think tank on the role of devolution/independence at all levels - regional, national, EU?
Mr_Considerate: David Miliband might disembark Regent’s Canal in an International Rescue dirigible, I suppose.
