Another of Israel’s pimps to become Labour’s saviour?

Those in the UK who hoped and prayed they’d seen the last of David Miliband may be in for a nasty shock

By Stuart Littlewood

Unbelievably, Labour Party chiefs are trying to persuade David Miliband to come back from New York, parachute into a safe seat and snatch the Labour Party leadership from Jeremy Corbyn, according to newspaper reports.

Presumably, these are the same chiefs who continue to crucify Corbyn for his links to so-called “terrorist” groups Hamas and Hezbollah. The plotters, it seems, are much more tolerant of friends and admirers of the Israeli terror regime.

Curse of the Milibands

Ralph Miliband arrived in the UK fleeing Nazi persecution. The cocky Miliband brood were soon telling the British nation what to do and how to do it. Ralph’s sons, David and Ed, lost no time taking a hand in misgoverning our country. Both sat in the Cabinet simultaneously.

Ed was Minister for the Cabinet Office, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and, lately, Labour’s failed leader. David was Environment Secretary and Foreign Secretary. Under his watch two US rendition flights put down at Diego Garcia, which he initially denied.

Peter Oborne, writing in The Telegraph at the time of David Miliband’s exit from UK politics, said of him:

After Labour’s 1997 election victory he was the poster boy of a new ruling elite which seized control of the commanding heights of British politics. Anti-democratic, financially greedy and morally corrupt, this new political class has done the most enormous damage. Since David Miliband was its standard-bearer, his political career explains a great deal about what has gone wrong with British public life, about why politicians are no longer liked or trusted, and about how political parties have come to be viewed with contempt.

Oborne made the point that Miliband set the pattern so many others, including his brother Ed, followed:

Obsessed by politics at university, he has never had even the faintest connection with the real world. From life in think tanks he became a Labour Party researcher and special adviser, before being parachuted into the north-eastern constituency of South Shields as an MP.

David Miliband wrote Labour’s vacuous 1997 and 2001 election manifestos and was at the heart of the Labour machine when it generated the notorious falsehoods over Iraq. Oborne also noted the irony of Miliband’s new job in the US heading up a humanitarian organisation “when the government of which he was such a loyal member created so many of the world’s disasters”.
