I’m seriously considering starting a new blog dedicated to awful BBC ‘satirical’ computer graphics features on ‘The Daily Politics’ and ‘This Week’
This says so much.
So people wonder if David Miliband is britain’s answer to Obama and want to follow him on twitter, whereas people merely worry about Ed’s ethnic origins and sexuality.
It gets more clear everyday that we made a mistake.
(I still love you Ed, but you’re just ‘not right for the job’)
Day 5 of Labour Love God Series: Ed was always a ‘player’ and he never missed his chance with an experienced woman.
I absolutely bloody love awkwardedmilibandmoments.
The leadership bid so far. (Taken from the Labour website at http://www2.labour.org.uk/)
Andy Burnham died on his arse a bit here. I don’t think his leadership bid should, nor will, be taken too seriously. As much as I hate to admit it, Labour have got to win the PR war again. This last general election has proved that unfortunately, style sometimes wins over policy with the public vote. Of course Andy Burnham’s lack of any charisma or character isn’t the sole reason for me discounting him in the leadership race. He has no other angle to come at from other than ‘i’m a different face’. Not. Enough.
As for Diane Abbot entering the race, I couldn’t even begin to comprehend this as a serious bid. Her terribly annoying persona and dare I say sometimes snobbish attitude will surely instantly put people off. I did like Andrew Neils quip on the politics show: ‘Do you even know 33 MP’s Diane?’.
I do hope labour listen to the public. On Newsnight last week they conducted a small scale sample of previously ‘floating voters’ and showed them clips of each of the candidates. There must have been 8 or 10 and all said that David Miliband would be their person of choice. Some (naive/silly) people even said that had David Miliband been leader of the labour party at the Election just gone, they would have voted for labour instead of conservative.
The mind boggles at such silly reasons for voting, but it highlights the need for labour to pick a candidate with style as well as substance. Enter David Miliband. Maybe?
Or Ed. I like Ed too.
(Milliband. Obvs. We can’t make it too easy for the tabloids by electing Ed BALLS)
