A great piece of digging by the FT’s Jim Pickard:
‘In theory we won’t know the exact line-up at Labour Party Conference until the weekend. But I have it on good authority that David Miliband won’t be talking until Thursday – at which point most sane people will have packed up and gone home.
Could this be some kind of punishment for his banana-wielding “disloyalty” at last year’s conference? Perish the thought.’
