David Millibrand might come back to UK politics....

[Dibbydoos]

I heard today that David Millibrand might come back into UK politics.

For me it's the best news I've had this year!!! He is the Prime Minister we have been waiting for!

AIBU?

It’s Miliband

doubt he would, tbh

It would be good for the party but not so good for the family. So I'd say no. This rumour has been floated before

Don't think he'd be pm but he'd lend heft to a Starmer govt. Sign of confidence in the Labour future. I hope Tories are eviscerated.

Bloody hope so

Another multi millionaire Labour MP🙄
It should be an oxymoron but unfortunately it's not.

I misread that as David Attenborough...wouldn't that be great!?

The labour party stitched him up at the last minute. I believe he was a decent man with a disgusting excuse of a brother who went along with it

@Lucy61 what are you on about?

@Lucy61 oh hello Russian troll. Getting more sophisticated, but a few tell tale signs in your text. Try again!

Apologies- new to posting and meant to start a new thread. Have asked for mumsnet to remove my post from here as not sure how to delete. Now posted on AIBU.

What did Ed do?

He made the Ed stone.

Lol just read 'Lucy's post and thought wtf you on about? before even seeing the other comments 🤣

Had his brother not stepped forward I think David would have been PM and we would be on a completely different pathway now.

Agreed. Ed didn't have the same talent David had. If he'd won the leadership...

Do you really think he would give up all that money he is earning in the US?

Yes like a shot. He's already well off. Money isn't everything especially to those who work in politics (or why would Rishi do it?) Power, the ability change things, name in history.

David Milliband is certainly a good egg and would be welcomed by many.

Last time I saw him interviewed he said he wouldn't, he'd had his day in UK politics and was now committed to something else.

However, people can change their minds and the country is in crisis.

Let's hope.
