Michael Crick: Will David Miliband come back and campaign for his brother?
David Miliband has just tweeted that he’s “proud to have voted Labour”, and has attached to his tweet a photo of an prepaid envelope which presumably contains his postal ballot. So I tweeted back asking whether he plans to come back to Britain before 7 May to campaign for Labour.
It’s a legitimate question. It would be very odd surely for David Miliband not to return for a few days to support his brother, and to help the party he once hoped to lead himself. Perhaps David Miliband would be worried about overshadowing his younger sibling, but surely Ed Miliband has done enough by now to establish his own independent reputation with the British public.
David Miliband is a Labour star, and as the party keeps telling supporters and members, they need all the help they can get.
