...to think I would rather have a drink with Ed Milliband or David Cameron than this vile man and his equally vile wife

Talk about someone who has no loyalty or brain. They should throw him out of the Parliamentray Labour Party. The only people damaging his chances of re- election are himself and his equally pathetic self-centred wife.

Umm, James Callaghan? Which means there has only been one elected Labour PM since who wasn't from a fairly humble background. What's your point?

Well a common criticism of most MPs from all the major parties is that they are not 'normal real' people who are in touch with the rest of the country's 'normal and real' people. so love them or loathe tham no-one can accuse them of not being in touch with the common man, can they?

That has to be a good thing, I think. Although I'll admit I knew nothing about either of them until today.

With Labour doing the Tories' work in denigrating Milliband we can all sit back and expect a Tory win which will gladden by heart.

Recent Tory leaders have had relatively humble upbringings. Heath, Major, Thatcher, Hague.

Milliband is a twat though. He's so bloody annoying and Ed balls seems to hope we have all forgotten his vile supporting of Gordon brown and the constant infighting between Blaire and brown.

Ed balls will stab Milliband in the back as soon as look at him. No idea what loyalty means.

I agree with this bloke to be fair.

Sorry, SolomanDaisy the bolding made that look like I have more of a point than I do

Just that Labour does not have a history of actually getting elected when people from working class backgrounds are in charge.

The voters might complain about the politicians being out of touch, but I don't recall Neil Kinnock sweeping the nation with his non-Oxbridge education, or anyone saying how much they admired John Prescott's malapropisms. When push comes to shove, the smoothie with the expensive suit, gleaming smile and polished soundbites gets the votes.

Gordon Brown had a pretty normal background, Milliband went to the local comp.

Cameron has been elitist his whole life, as has Clegg. The thing that makes me find Clegg absolutely pathetic were the stupid lies he told before thte last election in an attempt to make himself appear laddish. The stuff about him saying he set destroyed a greenhouse and that he had slept with 30 + wome. Silly man. Turned out he had tipped over a flower pot and slept with 2 or 3 women ( I'd bet that was an exaggeration)

Danczuk has led a campaign to uncover historic paedophile crimes amongst the ruling elite. His wife seems to have some 'issues' but someone from her family has been arrested for sexually abusing her when she was a child.
I don't know why he has publicly ridiculed his party leader. I do applaud him and Tom Watson for looking at an issue that the majority of MPs wish would just go away.

When was the last time Labour was elected to government with a salt-of-the-earth man of the people in charge?

Callaghan. Working class son of a sailor in the RN and worked as an Inland Revenue clerk.

However, even those that did come from well to do backgrounds (thinking of Attlee in particular here) were not as cut off from the working classes as today's Labour leaders seem to be.

If Ernie Bevin were alive today he'd never stand a chance of ending up in a Labour Cabinet.

I don't know but those 2 have a huge amount of publicity. I kind of feel that she is going to post photo after photo of her boobs and he is going to make controversial comments until millions and millions of people consider them household names and then presumably the pair of them will use their massive profile for something - who knows what?!

I honestly think Tony Blair has changed Labour for good. It would take a war or an absolute fissure in public services to get a real Lefty government in with a proper left wing prime minister. Or someone so charismatic that she would be carried along by the cult of the personality. But she doesn't exist in Labour today. I will be looking for a star in the sky and following it.

Ed Balls is thinking of jacking it all at Westminster to make eyes at Mumsnetters.
