Welcome Back To The Political Wilderness David Miliband ...

[Phil Talbot]

It is a fair under-statement to say that most people in South Shields are, like me, 'not disappointed' that their town's MP David Miliband has failed to win the Labour Party Leadership contest.

And it is also fair to say that of those most South Shields people who were 'not disappointed', many, perhaps even most, of them were 'almost completely indifferent'.

[Phil Talbot]

What David Miliband could never bring himself to say about the Iraq War:

'But I do believe that we were wrong. Wrong to take Britain to war and we need to be honest about that.'
(Mr Ed Miliband, New Labour Party Leader, Tuesday 28 September 2010)
