This college is from last night's meeting with David Miliband held at the Old Town Hall in Stratford, E15. This was chaired by Ahmed Noor who I believe is the son of the first Asian shopkeeper in Green Street and my old mucker Terry Paul, who is a local ward member for Stratford and fellow "newbie" Newham Councillor. Labour MP Keith Vaz introduced everyone to the audience.
David was the guest of the Pakistani Association of Newham.
He gave his usual impressive and polished speech and dealt with pretty well with a wide ranging Q&A.
I managed to ask him a question about what he thought the role of modern trade unions should be if became Prime minister and he was let us say pretty positive without being particularly prescriptive.
I think he is a very good candidate, but his brother Ed - has the edge - and I think has the better chance of appearing different from the evil twins, Cameron and Clegg, and defeating them at the next election (sorry Steve and Terry)

On the other hand John David is the one better able to compete with D Cameron and beat him at the elections. We shouold be thinking about who can win in the outside world and who will attract the middle England vote. Anyway that's what my neighbour Maurren thinks and she knows!
