Why I’m terrified of Ed Miliband

I’ve been trying quite hard to come up with some imagery for just how bad Ed Miliband is at being in charge of the Labour party.

I’ve been trying quite hard to come up with some imagery for just how bad Ed Miliband is at being in charge of the Labour party. My best suggestion so far is that he’s leading as though he’s falling out of a building, desperately issuing responses and policy announcements before he hits the ground. It’s not perfect, I know. You’d want him to pass backwards through a hedge on the way down, ideally, and he’d also have to fall with petulance, which is quite tricky to visualise.

My point being, anyway, it’s not going well. Even when one makes an allowance for the hostile environment in which Miliband finds himself (one in which nobody voted for him, rates him or wants him) his performance, still, by any measure, is dire.
