Overdoing osculation...


You'll understand the blog title to refer to kissing too much, however, I mean the Kiss of Death: originally this meant betrayal but we now use it for any ruinous association. Today's kiss of death is from former Labour leader Lord Kinnock; yes, the very same Neil ginger-nut 'absolutely certain that Gordon is the best man to take use through the recession' Welsh windbag and nepotistic euro multi-millionaire himself (whom, IMHO deserves credit for only one thing - standing up to the loony left) . He has come out in violent defence of Ed Miliband; I say violent because he goes on about fratricide and says "In politics, division carries the death penalty and they must learn that because, in the end, it's their own chests they will stab as well as the back of the leader of the party". He also says that EM is highly intelligent and that he is courageous (and that 'his intellectual strength is one of his greatest accomplishments').

Well I for one am looking forward to Ed showing any of these characteristics.

He's actually being quite clever in a way because by making this statement he is seeking to draw attention away from any possible split in the party.

There's been a lot of talk about Ed's lack of performance, from both you and I, but the truth of the matter is a General Election doesn't have to be called until 7th May 2015 at the earliest so what should he be doing?

Exactly. I remember Conservative Home slagging of Cameron for at least 2 years so Miliminor doesn't have to worry too much except from hi own party.

As said by both of you, most decent or threats to his continued leading of the party will come from within...and by then just maybe if he has the stomach for it the othe Milliband brother may put himslef forward...

Was that always the plan?

I wouldn't take any lectures form Kinnock that's for sure...
