"David Miliband is a greedy failure in a cosmic sulk" says the Telegraph reporter Peter Oborne.

It's a good read, but do you agree?

What's to disagree? He was quite polite and has clearly identified a sycophantic pandering to the Labour Party which is now endemic in the majority of the British Media.

The best thing that David Miliband has done is to provide us with a by election in a safe Labour seat so that we can see if the polls on Labour are true or whether they are vapour.

He may be a "nice guy", to deal with, but in politics he was a nothing with power. That is a dangerous combination.

Great article about a rather odious minor politician.

Kelvin McKenzie got it about right on the Sky newspaper review last night. Mini Miliband is an opportunist, a legend in his bathroom mirror, who cannot stand the heat of being the losing brother. He is about to scuffle off the the States, for big money, where he can watch from the sidelines the train crash that will be the next government under brother Ed. He can then return, "The Messiah", clear of any wrongdoing - "It weren't me gov, I was over there.".

Unfortunately we have not seen the last of him or his ilk.

Some of the language used to describe David Miliband is certainly overblown. Harriet Harman once described him as "a giant of the Labour party". Ed Miliband talks of the "loss to British politics".
But what has David Miliband ever done? Honestly, I can't remember one thing, not even a massive failure, let alone a modest success.
If he was in a job interview and was asked "What achievement in your career are you most proud of?" I think there would just be a long silence.
It has been in the papers on and off for months that he has spent most of the last two years in the States, cosying up to rich globalists, so him leaving the H of C isn't much of a surprise.

B/S!!! He is full of it.. Salary up and coming of £500,000 a year "Working for a Charity" if I am not wrong. Helping the needy!!! What a laugh .. The Miliband family are Marxists to the core like their mother and father, renowned as a Marxist who taught at the LEA.

I was never impressed with David Milliband. I am even less impressed with his brother Ed.

To be honest, I don't really blame him for removing himself to a new and better paid job. I guess he doesn't like playing second fiddle to Ed. But what can you expect when one brother stabs the other brother in the back.

Who needs enemies with a brother like Ed.

Doing the job for his love of mankind and the poor Ve??!!! It's down to Money.. Money... Money... And to think that MANDY
was so desperate he begged for him to stay...Birds of a feather...

Hi Kate - I am always surprised that charities can afford to pay such high salaries! I've stopped giving except to the Salvation Army and the Marie Curie. It costs me a fortune keeping my son going anyway

I'm quite sure Milliband has made the right decision viz-a-viz the Labour party - now all the endless speculation in the run up to the election will be on which of the Big Beasts - May, Johnson, etc. - will depose Cameron, rather than focussing on the Labour leadership.

We might be about to witness the rarest of rare events - a triple leadership challenge.

I get a feeling that none of the present leaders of the big three are favoured by a majority of their MPs or the rank and file in the constituencies.
