David Miliband preparing for defeat

TrevorsDen

Lets hope he stays - more discord within Labour.

Captain Christy

I cannot bring myself to even look at Ed Miliband - he does not look human ( a bit like Brown really ). So let us hope he has won because it will not be long before the nation feel like me.

Fiona

For goodness sake, can't you wait a few hours?! Hope you manage to sleep tonight, with all this excitement...

John Edwards

If David Miliband has lost then this is excellent news. A return to Labour values and a final break with the defeatism of the Blair era and New Labour.

Milliband of brothers on more 4 now

Greenslime

splendid, splendid, splendid!

Wasn't it the Welsh Windbag who is supporting Ed Willybad? Look at how successful that parasite was at running the party before!

Dan

If Ed Milliband has won then Labour can kiss goodbye to the next election.

YouCannotBeSerious!

David - your coverage of this contest is hysterical. One month ago, you declared the election over in favour of David Miliband, based on an old poll which didn't take into account second preferences.

Now 24 hours before the result, you've called it for Ed Miliband in an equally breathless post.

Take a deep breath, old boy.

Senor Frizby

That's Labour out of the running for an extra generation. Our credit rating must be soaring!

Wahoo!

Baron

what’s all the excitement about, a geeky chap in an off-peg suit and fond of bananas supposedly came second in a competition amongst few more geeky men and a woman resembling a cushy sofa, so what? will bread prices soar, the global warming cease, the Muslim crowds convert to Christianity?

sinosimon

you all seem to be missing the major point here. If the plasticene featured ed has won, which cabinet post will his long term sidekick gromit win? and will nick park ever win another oscar now his major star has properly joined showbusiness for ugly people?

Holly ......

Labour values?
Spiteful,vindictive old Labour never went away,it just festered in the background
putting the blockers on anything that would make people more independent & less reliant
on the state.
The same tax & spend mindset is there in the background.
Unless the new shiny(already been in government & proved to be useless)leader is of a leftie nature,they will fail....Bozo simply got what he deserved.

Mark Cannon

Balls for shadow chancellor! There is no need to cut expenditure. We must borrow, borrow, borrow and spend, spend, spend. Anything else would be madness.

Tarka the Rotter

slipped on a banana skin, eh?

Fergus Pickering

Good Heavens! Ed for PM. Ken for LM. Now all we need is Balls for CE. I'm rooting for him.

YorkshireLad

I think there should be a thorough investigation into betting patterns here, Dave Multibrand and 1/2 and brother Ed was 6/4. :)

Major Plonquer

What a great start to the new Labour leadership. Ed beat his brother by a nose.

Naomi Muse

What about the Graun's story that the GMB breached the rules and put not only a photo of the Milband of Choice but also a letter giving a ringing endorsement? If the Graun is reliable there could be pregnant chads and all sorts before the day's end.

Boudicca

Looks like David will have plenty of opportunity to regret giving The Moron an unchallenged go at the Premiership and also for failing to oust him when he could.

The Welsh Windbag for Red Ed, Fat Hattersley for Red Ed and Red Ken for Red Ed... 1980s is arriving. Second term in the bag for Cameron.
