Hague’s Wisdom

William Hague warns David Miliband not to challenge Gordon Brown and offers this priceless spot of advice:

“People want normal politicians and David Miliband is more geeky, more like me… David Cameron could wear a baseball cap, whereas Miliband would find it harder to appear normal. I must have a word with him and give him some advice – don’t try to be normal when you aren’t. As I never want to be leader of my party again, I don’t have to try to be normal any more.”
