Russell Brand will release the full video of Milibrand today. Fantastic stuff.
Forget Dimbleby, forget Evan Davis and even forget Kay Burley, Russell Brand is the real deal. He is the one we want to watch (apart from Farage).
The trailer shows what we are likely to get - more mockney than in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels of Monkeys. Miliband looks like he no longer gives a monkeys, he's going flat out for it. His Oxbridge teenage advisers must have told him to watch the "characters" in Albert Square and make sure he drops as many aitches as he can, the public's "gotta" be done up like a kipper. There are more hand movements and "hell yeah" grimaces than Joe Pesci on steroids in Goodfellas, but these fellas ain't good, they're "bloody lively".
Ed is about to explain it to Russell and fortunately Russell stops him short and says let me say it in my own words, that'll be better. Better than predistribution, than predatry capitalism, than endogeneous growth theory? It doesn't get much better than that.
Can't wait for the full 20 minute video to be released. Forget the Labour Party political broadcasts with the usual list of luvvies, this is Russell Brand - a luvvie who still has some street cred - and the Oxford PPE egghead known as Red Ed. Will this finally put the election to bed?
