Miliband maintains the truce

Andrew Sparrow flags up a quote by David Miliband at today’s Cabinet away-day in Birmingham:

“I think Gordon is leading us with more vigour and determination and will prove people wrong … I am absolutely convinced that Gordon can lead us to victory. He has enormous values, drive and vision.”

Now, as Andrew admits one can try and read too much between the lines. But I think he’s right that the “more” does seem significant. It is at the least proof that the truce between Brown and Miliband is holding.
