    David Miliband, bid for Leadership

    David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, set out his stall for a future leadership bid by straying well off his policy brief and attacking the Conservatives as “schoolboys”.

    This conference is really not going Gordies way, The Sun stuff him, the press ask him nasty questions and little chap Millipeed makes a bid for fame glory and leadership - silly boy!!!

    It sounded like it, but I think Millibandwill step aside (for now) and let Alexander be the runner up for an election or two, a la Neil Kinnock.

    Would this be the same Milliband who tried to play the big statesman with Sergei Lavrov?

    The same Milliband who when he tried to tell Larov that Russia was being a naughty boy in Georgia was told – '"Who are you to fvcking lecture me?"?


    Sorry Milliband, the rest of the world already thinks you are a joke.

    Indeed it is, but i have a feeling he is being groomed (in more way than one) by Mandelson. I am convinced that if they lose the election, then either Alexander or one of the Blair Babes will be the sacrafice (nice pension, seat in the Lords, for the good of the party, etc).

    Tend to agree he's not high on age and maturity, in fact he looks younger than Osbourne.

    Re: David Miliband, bid for Leadership

    His speech today would appear to have upset the Latvian government too, he has accused them of being a Nazi regime. Not good for the person who holds the post of Foreign Secretary, and should be a considerable blot on his attempts to become party leader in the future.

    For those with the ability to stomach what the prat said:

    Unfortunately, a sizeable chunk of it also thinks we're a joke - on the assumption that he's the best we can come up with for the job.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.
