I’ll leave the analysis of Ed Miliband’s “cool” music preferences to the Labour Uncut team that is putting together the leadership contender’s “Desert Island Discs” choices.
But I do have to take my hat off to the former climate change secretary for his choice of Sidney Lumet’s 1957 film 12 Angry Men as his favourite movie. It is a peerless tale of justice and injustice. I recommend anyone who’s not seen it — whether an Ed Miliband fan or not — to rent or buy it asap.
