David Milliband writes in The Guardian, mainly about how Labour can take on the "status quo" politics of David Cameron. Apart from the Miliband commentary piece itself, there is a fairly straight news report on the front of The Guardian. There is a somewhat daft report in The Times, which opens by saying: "David Miliband tomorrow dares Gordon Brown to sack him by setting out how Labour can still w...

In a speech to Labour's West Midlands regional conference in Coventry this morning, Labour Leader Ed Miliband said: It is time David Cameron and George Osborne started taking responsibility for what is happening in the British economy. There is an urgent and pressing need for the crisis in the eurozone to be resolved. But when people's jobs, homes and businesses are in jeopardy it is not...

Well done David Miliband, for writing an article in the Guardian that is free of wonkery and abstractions. Miliband deserves applause for being the first Labour leadership contender to address public spending cuts with reasoned analysis, not ideological retorts. Also, he is right to urge George Osborne not to sell the public stakes in RBS and Lloyds at a bargain price. But his central thesis merit...

by Michael Meacher MP David Miliband’s victory speech that never was to the Labour Party conference last September, leaked to the Guardian, reveals all too clearly the disastrous path down which he would have taken the party to near-extinction, by adopting the Osborne cut-and-slash strategy in full, and indeed perhaps going even further.    His claim that “the party

David Miliband at the Labour Party Conference in Manchester He told delegates here that "probably the biggest task for this Conference is tackling the sense of fatalism".

David Miliband the Foreign Secretary set out his stall for a future leadership bid by straying well off his policy brief and attacking the Conservatives as "school boys".
