Ed Miliband - rebel

Ed miliband and his propagandists at the BBC are trying to portray him as a new boom, part of a new generation leading the labour party, someone untouched by associations with Iraq war and maybe a bit of a rebel.

Let's examine these claims and the facts. The 'new broom' has been a Labour MP since 2005 and before that was an economic advisor to Gordon Brown. Edward Miliband also lead the writing of Labour's 2010 general election manifesto. So this 'new broom' seems to be well rooted in the many mistakes of the last Labour government.

The new generatoin is an odd one, Ed Miliband is certainly younger than Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are now but let us see the composition of the Labour Shadow Cabinet before we accept this claim.

Ed Miliband's associations with the Iraq war, or rather covering up its murky origins were covered by this piece earlier today.
