The Miliband Prophecy

Remember Question Time on 7 February 2007? No? Here’s a refresher of what was said:

Yes, he really did say: “I predict that when I come back on this programme in six months or a years time, people will be saying, ‘oh, wouldn’t it be great to have that Blair back, we can’t stand that Gordon Brown’.”

That prediction has most certainly come true. Maybe he is a Hero… or just politically astute enough to know that challenging Gordon Brown right after Blair left would damage him more than to just wait for Brown to kill himself off and then just assume the vacated throne?

It certainly hasn’t taken the Labour Party long to start missing top-of-the-polls performace, especially with the latest polls…

Ed Miliband sounds like a schoolchild at his first debate. Both in voice and quality of argument. Better than Ruth Kelly last week, though.

Shirley Williams just sounds absurd most of the time. If she didn’t remind me of my grandmother, I’d call her a stupid bitch.

Marcus Bridgstocke is an absolute idiot, and way out of his depth in serious political debate. A couple of good jokes, though.

Nigel Farage comes over really quite well.

And David Davis is the elder statesman and the voice of sense on the panel.
