Ed Miliband On Radio

Ed Miliband the Leader of the Labour Party got a right grilling from Radio 2 callers when he was on the Jermey Vine shoe.

The general concensus was very clear in that he was criticised for his unconventional personal life and for his ruthless destruction of his brother David Miliband who was to all intents and purposes the heir apparent to the leadership of thje Labour Party.


Here is what some of the listeners who phoned in said:-

"What chance do I stand as a person in this country if you're quite happy to tread all over your brother to get to the top"

"How can we trust anybody who didn't even put hisname down as the father of his first child on the birth certificate"

Why hasn't he got married? Why hasn't he committed his life to his partner?

One Labour Party supporter accused him of not showing the required passion and he was then forced to admit that he had been "on a journey" since landing the job some 3 months ago.

He has already been under somewhat of an attack after writing an articlein the Times Newspaper stating that teh previous Labour Government of which he was a member were not to blame for leaving Britain woith such a substantial budget deficit.

A radio 2 listener Sian Williams soon rang in to complain abou this attitude. She said " I get really frustated when I see you on TV night after night with your grawling voice slagging off our present government who are doing their utmost to keep this country on its feet.Cuts have to be made. Most of the mess we're in now was called by your so called ten year government."

When pushed about the leadership struggle with his brother he said that the competition had been friendly and that he would welcome David back to Labour's front bench.
