Miliband two. The voice of Ed.
Interesting alignment of articles in the Sunday Times today. A double page feature on Gordon Brown lists 'the hidden persuaders in Gordon's orbit'. Amongst them are one Ed Miliband, currently heading up the Office of the Third Sector within the Cabinet Office. Flick forward six pages and there is an article by said Monsieur Miliband suggesting that 'Labour needs a new tune'.
The Milibands are an interesting dynasty and people of current significant political influence. Interesting then to note Miliband's views on policing in the article. He says 'There are new areas where we must give people a voice. Take, for example, policing. I see, as an MP in Doncaster, people's concern about crime and also their desire to determine local priorities. We need to find ways of building on the regular, local beat meetings being pioneered in different parts of the country so that people feel they have a say and there is proper accountability on this crucial issue for our communities'.
Going to be interesting to see where Ed ends up in a Gordon Brown government.
