The adoration of the Miliband

The BBC are off to an early start, their hom epage and their news home page show ed Miliband looking powerful and in control and the headline is almost beyond belief: 'Miliband 'to defend middle class'. Yes the man who was part of the Labour government that squeezed the British middle class like no other but used an engineered house price boom to make them feel richer, is now claiming to be their champion. The BBC are so desperate for a Labour govenmnet that they would report adoringly on any new labour leader, but for one who claims to be left-wing they will move mountains; expect the BBC to ramp up the pro-Labour bias. This morning watch to see how easy a ride Andrew Marr gives Ed Miliband...

I predict a real Labour love-in as the former member of the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory whilst at Cambridge University, the former self-confessed 'raving leftie' nicknamed 'Red Andy' and current husband of the political journalist at the left-wing Guardian Jackie Ashley interviews Ed Miliband.
