Garlands go to the conqueror. The Observer has interviewed Ed Miliband about his response to the News International crisis, and it’s
as if Caesar has returned home after crushing the traitor Pompey.
Miliband told the Spectator in an interview with James Forsyth in this week’s magazine that Murdoch’s spell on British politics has been broken. He reiterates that sentiment with the Observer and adds that Murdoch’s endorsement will be a “double-edged sword at the next election”. When speaking to James he was careful to insist that there was nothing personal in his burgeoning crusade against Murdoch; he is not so careful now. “I think he has too much power over British public life,” he said and vowed to break up Murdoch’s media empire.
