Classic miliband-take- beyond idiotic- before he got elected biden was constantly the conservative one in his party, accused of not offering enough. Oh look: if you do that you can get elected and then actually do things that go beyond what was expected! No -must talk disadvantageously now and get painted as super lefty when the votes needed are centrists- cracking plan grommit!

I mean by all means point out that the most europhile leader possible might not be the right man for this moment, and that all this patriotism shit is clearly bollocks when he is wokester in chief with a clear record as such from his time as crown prosecutor. But then both those things were self-evident before labour elected him leader. Instead no, tie him to the fortunes of Biden the same way miliband tied himself to the fortunes of Francois hollande.
