He doesn't have Farages debating skills. Edited by AndyK, Nov 13 2014, 08:37 PM.

He doesn't have Farages debating skills. I would definitely be interested to know what, if any, debating skills, Millibore DOES have. I would be willing to bet that the Unite union are kicking themselves for their myopic decision to try and influence the direction of the labour movement for their own vested interests by forcefully installing a boy instead of a man, even senior labour "grandees" are washing their hands of him, but as Labour have never before deselected a leader( ) and as they have no one of any believable substance waiting in the wings, it just goes to show how shallow and lacking in public respect they are...............they are a "well spent" force, sorry for the intended pun.

Theres many a true word they say spoken in jest. Here is a joke with a jag however now that even Eds most trusted people are coming out with these kind of comments. Freudian slip deliberate or just another addition to his actual leaders hourly lengthening list of those he reckons are out to get him but one of Eds top lieutenants Chukka Umunna !!!! Dave errm I mean Ed might just be right they are out to get him! http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/533785/Ed-Miliband-leadership-crisis-Labour-Chuka-Umunna-David I cannot believe someone as sharp and switched on & ambitious as Mr Umanna made such a fundamental error. Reading between the lines I would say that this is his first shot in his seeking Dave's sorry Eds job! Edited by Boxter, Nov 14 2014, 11:18 PM.

With no time for due process a coronation takes place ......... With no time for the dirty tricks team to do their assassination. Grabbing the headlines, getting all the attention, and walking right into Downing St No10. All that "get Ed" effort (and money) wasted ....... Edited by Affa, Nov 13 2014, 10:44 PM.

Are you a supporter of Ed, Affa I mean as a potential prime minister of GB? If ypo are your in a minority by all accounts. It may be hoped that if elected he will grow in stature, but as he has failed to do just that whilst leader of the Labour party in opposition, I see little chance of that happening , just his popularity declining even furher.

I'm no fan of Clegg, but he's 10 times the statesman than Miliband is. All The Best A case of empty vessels make the most noise. I do not think Milli is an empty vessel. He has identified a number of social and economic problems, his problem is that for political tactical reasons he has avoided offering any solutions and that has resulted in the general opinion that he must therefore not have any. I think he has some solutions up his sleeve of the old fashion Michael Foot variety that Milli knows could go down like the proverbial lead balloon in the south of England. Also I think his position wrt to the EU is now untenable as the vast majority want and will have their referendum, it is now a matter only of timing. It might also be irrelevant as the EU looks like it is in self destruct mode as it like Milli seems not to have any solutions and the only one supported as the Final Solution is unacceptable particularly with the Teutons.
