Nobody just gives up a million dollar salary in the capital of the world for the £67,505 of a British Cabinet Minister, and that without even the £98,599 of a member of the House of Commons.
Indeed, a peerage would in practice prevent David Miliband from ever becoming Prime Minister, which David Cameron had already been in addition to being independently wealthy.
At 60, why is Miliband considering this? There must be something very badly wrong with the International Rescue Committee, and he needs to get out of town. Who is going to take a look?
David Miliband as Foreign Secretary chucked 60,000 books, pamphlets, reports and manuscripts from the Foreign Office library leaving just bare shelves and a snake. He cares nothing for British history, and doesn't live here. Hopefully rumours of his return are false.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite David Miliband moment was when he flew to the UK in 2018, mid Brexit wars, and the People's Vote squad were like "this is it, the king over the water has returned, he will lead us in a glorious revolution" and then he did a promo for Tilda rice.
Even in office, he was mostly known for having made a fool of himself with a banana.
