Ed Miliband’s dinner date with Amal Clooney

Ed Miliband’s popularity may be at an all time low, but the leader of the Labour party is at least now moving in A-list circles.

The Telegraph reports that Miliband recently enjoyed a supper at the mansion of Geoffrey Robertson QC, the human rights barrister, which both George and Amal Clooney attended. Mrs Clooney is a barrister at Doughty Street, Robertson’s chambers.

While the quality of Miliband’s general dinner party chat remains unknown, he is thought to have discussed with the Hollywood couple proposals for ‘fresh sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s regime’ following the case of Sergei Maginitsky,  the Russian whistleblower who died after months of beatings in prison.

And while the menu is unknown, Mr S hopes for all guests’ sake that it didn’t involve bacon sandwiches.
