Milliband as an enemy is the least frightening thing I can imagine.
@
The people of this country dont like milliband they never have
@
Braddock said it best "Miliband would better serve as the minister of paperclips" 😂
@
Burnham would say he has appointed the best person for the job - what else can he say, whatever the real motivation?
@
Burnham isn’t serious about economic change if he sells out by appointing anyone other than milliband.
@
Ed never shows at pmqs hiding to much
@
Miliband as Chancellor would lose Labour the next general election. It's a failed and pathetic cabinet.... new brooms sweep clean.
@
A w⚓er surrounding himself with bigger w⚓ers you could not make this up what a traitorous government.
@
This non update was completely unnecessary
@
OMG, Rebecca Long-Bailey, I'd completely forgotten her. (Well-known as a Corbyn sidekick if you had too.) It makes a horrid kind of sense, certainly signalling a wealth tax.
@
Might as well fok it up even more, I'm 100% confident Ed Clueless can do that 😲
@
I think they are massively over playing the significance of Ed Milliband. The public doesn’t like him and having him moan from the back benches is unlikely to cause harm. Burnham can offer him Northern Ireland and when he refuses, he can disappear to the back benches.
@
Miliband needs to GO
@
I’ve lost the will to live two minutes into Preston’s diatribe.
@
When you walk into a big job you usually get a bad smell on your shoes 😊
@
Totally ignoring the fact that the latest polling places Ed's overall national popularity at 20% But discussing how unpopular he is would not be something this lot would like to mention aloud.
@
SAY NO TO MILLIBAND !
@
Peston likes the sound of his own voice.
@
Peston, is the only Commentator that talks in riddles and when he finishes you are no wiser than when he started, no matter how long he has talked for.
