Is Tony Blair a greedy (he is worth billions) failure?
Is Gordon Brown a greedy (he is worth millions) failure?
Is Ed Miliband (a millioniare) a would be failure.
Is his brother David Miliband a greedy failure.
With the departure of Ed's brother to New York to work for a charity, fee not disclosed,
David Miliband's champions, the usuals suspects, were universally saddened to hear of him going.
Across the Atlantic, former president Bill Clinton called him “one of the ablest, most creative public servants of our time”. Lord Mandelson, whose protégé Mr Miliband was, almost begged him to
reconsider. Tony Blair regretted “a massive loss to UK politics”. A near tearful Tessa Jowell said “it’s very sad”. Lord Adonis mourned an “inspirational leader”. A tremulous Yvette Cooper praised a “powerful speaker” and a “great minister”.
As Terry Thomas used to say "What a shower....what an absolute shower."
Then up pops a dissenting voice to to eke out sanity from all this haigiography.
Peter Osborne in the Daily Telegraph was the one dissenting voice.

David Miliband was at best a minor politician, no towering colossus. Mr Miliband has left only one lasting legacy, and that was destructive. Obsessed by politics at university (like Ed and David Cameron, he read PPE at Oxford), he has never had even the faintest connection with the real world. From life in think tanks he became a Labour Party researcher and special adviser, before being parachuted into the north-eastern constituency of South Shields as an MP'
And that, being so wealthy you do not have to engage with the real world applies to his brother
Ed Miliband who the way things are going will be the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.
God help us....what will happen is the UK economic ship, already shipping water will sink under the weight of the Welfare Budget (1 in every 3 £ pounds spent in the UK).
Labour will do nothing because those on welfare and in the public sector are their core voters.
As the economic ship sinks, the Blairs, Browns and Milibands, no doubt, will make sure through
their investments they remain comfortable.
Will the UK have to be bailed out Greek style? I would not bet against it.
