Maybe he'll help create this new centre party being talked about? Perhaps Tony Blair will join it too?!!

He wouldn't need to but he isn't going to join the libs or tories

Most people take opportunities in the life - whether it is marrying, getting promotion or a new job - being a politician is no different - all the Govt have taken the opportunity and some of them using Brexit to restart their own failing careers.

Were he to wish to re-enter UK politics he would not need to join the Labour Party.

Another opportunist!!

He has no chance of getting back into parliament , Momentum are already planning - plotting - deselection of centre ground labour MP's , we will have more communists than rats in the house soon. Telling the difference wil be difficult ?

Well of course he can change his mind, Welshwife, I wasn't implying otherwise.

I had not realised it was an interview - I thought just an article.o

Is this the same Miliband interview mentioned on the other Brexit thread :?

'Our country post Brexit'.

Welshwife Sun 13-Aug-17 11:37:57

I liked the article and posted a link on another link - the UK after Brexit thread.

Welshwife Sun 13-Aug-17 11:37:22

Anyone is at liberty to change their minds Ana as circumstances alter.

Ana Sun 13-Aug-17 11:36:35

Miliband!

Ana Sun 13-Aug-17 11:35:54

I understood that David Milliband had no interest in returning to UK politics.

I really welcome David Millibands comments in today's Observer. We need his common sense back in Parliament and helping to recover from the Brexit fiasco.

In a scathing article in today’s Observer, Miliband writes: “Delegating to May and Davis, never mind Johnson and Fox, the settlement of a workable alternative to EU membership is a delusion, not just an abdication.”

How right he is,we need him urgently back in Parliament to lead on staying in the eu. The lies of the tabloid & Brexit gang like Farsge, Boris etc, bewitched our nation.The Right wing British tabloids owners hate the eu, mainly because they cannot influence political decisions in the same way as they can at Number 10. Their distorted stories influenced so many voters with fake information. We need to ensure they
no longer have such huge influence on our lives by legal means to regulate any distorting of the truth.
