Ed Miliband

Ed Miliband is one of the possible Labour Party (UK) successors discussed in A Keir-death experience: Britain’s PM clings on. The source presents him as another known Labour figure, but says his plans or route are unclear enough that he does not solve the immediate Labour Leadership Crisis.

A firm Andy: what are new British PM’s plans? uses Miliband as a cabinet-balance comparison after Andy Burnham becomes prime minister. The episode says Shabana Mahmood is rumoured as chancellor partly because she may be less divisive than Miliband or Wes Streeting.
