David Miliband makes a statement

Former Foreign Secretary says it's time to get behind his brother.

By Jonathan Derbyshire

David Miliband has posted the following statement on his website:

I have moved on from the leadership election and so should everyone else. Ed won, I stand fully behind him and so should everyone else. I called for unity last October and I repeat that now. We all have our part to play in supporting Ed and the front bench team to ensure we expose this government for its reckless polices that are damaging the country. The rest is soap opera of which I want no part and the public have no interest.

That couldn’t be clearer. Let’s hope the parliamentary lobby are listening.
