David Miliband: I might be back

David Miliband has refused to rule out a return to British politics in an interview with Vogue. Ed’s departed brother has not had much of an impact in New York, and is coy about his future: ‘I don’t know, is the answer.’

Intriguingly he also refuses to praise his brother’s performance as Labour leader:

‘I can’t say anything, because anything I say plays into the whole narrative. And I made an absolute commitment to myself not to play into the story … It’s not good for him and it’s not good for me for this to become a story.’

That would be true if David said something negative. Mr S is sure a compliment wouldn’t do any harm, however…
