Return of the Demented Sheep



Ed Miliband 'to hit Brits with £100 boiler tax rise' in new heat pumps plot

 


I thought I had never seen anyone quite so fluent and so futile, and yet there was a kind of feeble violence in him like a demented sheep.

There's gossip in the political pages that Dear Ed Miliband would be a contender for PM if Starmer resigned (or was pushed).

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Especially as Lammy is another alternative.

DJ - yes, he seems to be popular within the party. We don't know if he'd retain his fanaticism as PM, but it's not an experiment I'd like to see tried. It would be interesting to know what party strategists think, because he doesn't come across as someone who could restore their polling numbers.
