Oh dear. A number of Labour MPs are calling for Jeremy Corbyn to sack Seumas Milne after the Labour leader’s communications director reportedly questioned the reliability of information on Russia from Britain’s intelligence agencies. In a lobby briefing, the Press Association quote Milne as saying:

However, were Milne to have said this, it was in his role as the Leader’s spokesman.
So, what does Milne think personally? Happily, there is a wealth of articles – and memories – from his time at the Guardian to give readers a good idea:
