Peter Hoskin

A Miliboost?

Reporting this Compass / YouGov poll, the Sunday Telegraph concentrates on the news that Labour members think Peter Mandelson is doing a better job than Harriet Harman.  Yet, to my eyes, there’s a more a striking finding in there.  74 percent of respondents think that David Miliband is doing a good job.  And that after Miliband’s abortive leadership coup; the infamous banana and Heseltine moments; the disastrous trip to India; and his ill-advised ‘War on Terror’ article for the Guardian.  It’s enough to make a Foreign Secretary think he could be party leader after all.
