Kittengate latest: the never ending Miliband saga

The Sunday Sport, that esteemed paper of record, has replied to Ed Miliband in the matter of Ralph Miliband killing a kitten with a bicycle during WW2, which Miliband described while accepting one of our Parliamentarian of the Year awards last week. The paper says:

‘A WIDOW whose beloved pet kitten was KILLED by the Marxist Dad of Ed Miliband is demanding a face-to-face meeting with the Labour leader. Last month we revealed how the late academic Ralph Miliband ran over Eunice Clark’s  pet Winston while drunkenly riding his bicycle in 1944. Eunice, now 78, was only nine then – but time has failed to ease the upset of losing her cat, which she’d received only weeks before as a Christmas present. And now she wants to meet Mr Miliband so he can fully understand her heartbreak.’

Given that the Spectator has played no small part in bringing Eunice and Red Ed together, Mr Steerpike would be delighted to give them tea at a venue of their choice.
