Ed Miliband said his opposition to the Iraq war, which had been a dividing line with his brother during the leadership race, was part of the need to acknowledge the errors which had lost Labour the trust of voters. The party needed to show humility on the subject, he said.
“I’m under no illusions about the scale of the challenge we face. The journey begins with humility about our record,” Miliband told Sky News in an earlier interview.
When Ed Miliband branded the invasion “wrong” during his speech yesterday, his brother did not clap but leaned over to ask Harriet Harman, the deputy Labour leader: “You voted for it. Why are you clapping?” [courtesy the Guardian]
Ed saw through his brother's brotherly hug for the media
My tuppence worth: It was very revealing on the ‘acceptance speech by Ed as the newly elected leader’ to, with the first few sentences he uttered, to have nominated Harriet Harman a Bliarite was sign that things were not as ought to be between siblings. After all David Miliband had second best votes to rightfully be a Deputy PM even if he was not the winner’s brother and opponent.
On the other hand David was being sanctimonious and patronising when he mentioned several ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ in the foreign issues. If he had that strong sense of ‘British’ right & wrong – my question is what was he doing supporting the Iraq War on Words-Of-Mass-Deception, as a Cabinet Member?
The second and last question I have is for Ed; given his contriteness for the mistakes made by Bliarite Govt including the illegal Iraq War, what is his ‘actual’ agenda choosing a Blair Babe as a Deputy who also voted for that Iraq War?

Jonathan Freedland looks back at the career of David Miliband so far, from his days as an adviser to Tony Blair, to losing to his brother, Ed, in the fight for the Labour leadership

I have been conspicuously quiet of late observing the fast paced workings of the Con-Dem [my coined phrase] Coalition Govt as if there’s no tomorrow.
Perhaps there isn’t given Ed’s positioning. But why am I so enthused about Ed Miliband given that I am Independent?
Simply because he does not appear to contraband like his elder brother who did harbour prime ministerial ambitions despite his constant denials holding a banana as his witness. Why, otherwise, would David think of relinquishing the cushy Westminster Village outside which either brother has not served?
So what do I expect of Ed?
In addition to accepting, including and implementing, if not all, some of my last manifesto, I expect him to be nationally contrite about the increased inequalities under 13 years of New Labour, about the New Labour’s Words of Mass Deception [WMDs] both in 1997 Manifesto and in the House of Parliament especially about Iraq & Afghanistan. I want him to come clean and condemn the excesses of New Labour and especially about them being economic or frugal with the truth about the economic mis-management of the UK PLC.
I want him to be humble and listen to the heart of Britain in introducing an English referendum [i] to select the new electoral system that the electorate decide upon and [ii] to select a acceptable political governance for England.
For ease of reference see my past entries:

Finally, I expect him to develop an ability to introspect and correct his deviations from the promised path of non-alliance with any lobbies including the corrosive Jewish Lobby we know about.

Since the General Election, I have been conspicuously silent, observing, contemplating, and evaluating the Con-Dem Coalition with its inherent banana skins. But I could not hold my peace any longer as these were obvious gestures of ‘currying favour’ if ever…[the fortuitous and ironic pun is intentional] read on
