Brown Years Part Two

Radio 4:The second instalment of the radio documentary on the Brown Years. It is well worth 45 minutes of your time folks, in 2008 you really feel sorry for the staff at 10 Downing Street, seems it was a nightmare of a working environment, would have taken this blog Prozac to work there. How come politicians are more honest on the radio than TV.

Alastair Campbell on Ed Miliband


Alastair Campbell Blog: The Master of New Labour spin has stated the following on the attack on New Labour by Ed Miliband, “....I was asked if I didn’t feel hurt at his seeming desire to distance from New Labour. The answer is No..”. It has to be noted if you read the AC Diaries ( And you should! ) he does come across as old Labour on Education, also AC has not time for the Tories and is a tribal Labour supporter. Lets see what Tony Blair and the Lord Mandelson make of Miliband junior.

New Labour WRONG on Iraq - Ed Miliband

Telegraph: Reports that the new Labour Leader Ed Miliband has stated that former PM Tony Blair was wrong to go to war in Iraq. It will be interesting to see how the New Labour founders will react, will Blair, Campbell, the Dark Prince go on the warpath, after stabbing his brother in the back Ed Miliband has now gone after the masters of New Labour, curious to see their reaction.

Echo of JFK = NOT!


John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum: If you want to read a good and snappy Inaugural Address click here to read the speech that Mr Miliband copied , the Inaugural of President John F. Kennedy. To you future politicians don’t nick a famous quote from the Greats, we bloggers will find you out!

Miliband NO JFK

Let the message go out, a new generation has taken charge of Labour. Lets see if the artistic crowd start to make fun of Ed Miliband!

Ed Miliband’s 1st Speech as Leader

Iain Dale's Diary: The Conservative Blogger Iain Dale writes the following on Ed Milibands first speech as Labour Leader, “.. am not sure the Conservatives have an awful lot to worry about…The speech was ponderous, lacked pace and at times you could see the audience wondering when it was going to finish. ”. As stated in previous post Ed Miliband does not have that IT factor, when you see it you know, the BBC showed old footage of Tony Blair from 1994 and 2006 and he had it on both occasions. Recall seeing old footage of JFK from his Campaign for the Democratic nomination in 1960, even in black and white JFK had it, you cant fake IT, you can be as earnest as you want, someone should tell Ed Miliband he is no JFK, in the speech some sections Miliband had rewritten JFK Inaugural Passage! It was an okay speech, long, far to long, it’s a problem Bill Clinton had, he sometimes made a good speech and then he just went on and on, your not writing a Doctorate, should be short and snappy, lets see how Tony Blair reacts to the attack on the Iraq War. The Coalition should take Ed Miliband seriously, he did stab his own brother in the back, but the weakness for Miliband could be policy. Grade 5/10.
