TTE

Miliband’s wife set to lose battle to stop new £5m flats

Ed Miliband’s wife and the actor Benedict Cumberbatch are set to fail in their attempt to prevent a new residential development from being built close to their north London homes...

Other residents highlighted the inclusion of external heat pumps, warning that they could generate persistent noise. One neighbour, Ruth Liebling, said the equipment would cause “constant noise pollution to nearby properties”.

Last year, Miliband’s own department said research it commissioned found that noise complaints from heat pumps were not common and that heat pumps were largely thought to be quiet.


It's not that we should make the mistake of assuming this was Ed Miliband's protest, but perhaps it still allows us to refer to him as TTE, or Two Tier Ed. 

Yet maybe Mad Ed is still preferable. That's modern political life - so many appropriate names but politically 'Mr Miliband' just doesn't hit the mark.
