Is this a joke?
Milburn is a preposterous figure, whose only job outside publicly funded politics (admittedly, one more than Miliband has ever had) was running a Trotskyist bookshop called Days of Hope, known to its clientele as Haze of Dope.
Still, a Miliband-Milburn ticket would at least expose once and for all the true character of New Labour as the device whereby, having long turned away from economics and towards the culture wars as the means to their ultimate ends, utterly unrepentant old Communists (the Miliband dynasty, John Reid, Peter Mandelson...), Trotskyists (Milburn, Stephen Byers, Tony McNulty...) and fellow-travellers (Charles Clarke, Harriet Harman, Patricia Hewitt, Tony Blair...) infiltrated, took over and destroyed the party of Attlee, Bevin, Morrison, Bevan and Gaitskell.

I seem to remember you saying that you wanted Milliband to be PM for approximately 15 years until you were ready to take over.
ReplyDeleteThen you have a very strange memory.
ReplyDelete15 years of Miliband? Good God!
