... failure of John Major, Iain Duncan Smith and Gordon Brown, and the success of Tony Blair and David Cameron, are not attributed to some great divergence of policy. They are put down to qualities of confidence, likability and courtly prominence, summed up in the word charisma.

One of the bigger stories I didn't get round to writing about in the last two months was David Davis's little stunt. I don't call it a stunt to disparage it or him - stunts are what it takes to get attention these days. If the government introduced a policy of sacrificing newborn babies to Beelzebub, the media would spend hundreds of hours of screen time on how it affects any possible

... probably be in prison, but at least they did show some signs of being a human. Which leads me onto Milliband. This man, and to a lesser degree his snivelling little brother Ed, seem totally devoid of any human characteristics at all. I'm not kidding! On almost ever level, this shell of a man, oozes evil. Pure evil at that. Firstly on a superficial level, just look into the man's eyes. They...

David Milliband, the British Foreign Secretary, has raised a lot of eyebrows in both the Guardian and the Times with an unexpected article about his vision for Labour to beat the odds for a fourth term in government. His detailed statement suggesting that the Party needs a 'radical new phase' has been interpreted both as a challenge to Gordon Brown's leadership and an implied criticism...

If David Milliband is not unofficially running for the Labour leadership, then his remarks yesterday have not done anything to quell the rumours that he is. Click HERE to listen to him yesterday and to read the interesting comments from Brown loyalists. They are preparing for battle, although it was different when they were briefing against Tony Blair, so they think.

Wednesday 30th July What a day. I finally had my writing published in the Guardian! This could be my big chance. Then I did a Press Conference and I was great. Witty and very mature. Gordon must be shaking in his boots now, Ha! He should have known better than to upset my friend Tony. I’ve got lots of ideas now for when I’m Prime Minister. I pinched most of them from David Cameron. He must be...

And now there's David Milliband's equally smug, but slightly funnier (unintentionally) piece, on why the Labour Government isn't really an unholy incarnation of Pure Evil...

Download file David Milliband, Labour's so-called new start, is furiously defending the FCO's new near-fascist regulations for its employees, rules so illiberal that even the House of Commons Public Affairs Committee has today called them "Draconian" and "Oppressive". Read this...

How ironic that 14 months after being dumped by his own party, a recent opinion poll reveals that Tony Blair remains the only Labour figure who could seriously challenge the Tories. Despite all this, Labour doesn't seem to be particularly keen on Blair or Blairism (i.e David Milliband ). It tells you much about the state of the Labour party today: They seem to be moving slowly to the...

I find all the news coverage of the current Labour in-fighting to be quite tedious. We all know the Gordon Brown is a charmless dullard and that the money seems to be on some kind of mad dash for power from the insipid David Milliband. But let’s be honest, this is hardly Crassus and Cicero [...]

The police Commissioner of Gotham muses that Batman, the Dark Knight, is not the hero it wants right now, but he is the hero it needs. Tory Heaven got to musing - New Labour: is David Milliband perhaps Labour's Dar Knight, not the hero it may want right now, but the hero it needs? If so, who is its psychotic Joker? Tory Heaven leaves it up to readers to decide.

That David Milliband's missive in yesterday's Guardian was a job application. The reaction is furious, and ill-judged, with anonymous briefings and two backbench MPs calling for Milliband to be sacked . Think on it, this is the Prime Minister laying into his own Foreign Secretary, careless of the damage such behaviour must do to his government. Where Blair would have taken it on...
