Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband has let it be known that he would magnanimously offer his support to a lesser rival struggling to get across the 33 nomination threshold. What a gent! What a bastion of democracy! Makes your heart warm to know that he was holding the reins on our behalf.
But is that the real Miliband Senior? He claims to want a wide-ranging discussion in the party. Just how wide-ranging does he want? Will he discuss his role in colluding with the US and other regimes to facilitate the rendition and torture of British citizens? Will he explain why he used every trick in the legal repertoire to prevent details from being published? Will he be prepared to testify on oath exactly what he knew and when he knew it? Or will he attempt to re-write history using the much tested, 'I didna ken' defence?
Having tried several times to raise the matter with him via letter and email it is sad to report that to date there has not been a response. Not one.
It is time for m'learned friends to have a go.
