'David Miliband... across the country to answer questions on a wide range of issues, including but not limited to foreign affairs.'

It would seem that David Miliband is on manoeuvres as he is reported to be spending his half term break on a nationwide tour. It seems that the Foreign Secretary will hold a public meeting in Hammersmith, West London, on Friday and is inviting voters to ask him about subjects not just relating to his international brief. I wonder why? Also it is reported that Andrew Slaughter, MP for neighbouring Ealing, is claiming that similar sessions will be held by Mr Miliband in the coming weeks.

Why is Andrew Slaughter speaking for David Miliband, does Gordon Brown know that the arch-Blairite David Miliband is on the stump, will Gordon Brown and David Miliband have a banana fight over it and where does this leave Ed Balls?
