Watch: Andrew Marr frightens Ed Miliband with his Gordon Brown impression

Shouting really loudly in a Scottish accent =/= Gordon Brown.

Ed Miliband was on the Andrew Marr Show this morning, as part of the media appearances becoming of the Labour leader ahead of the party’s conference over the next few days. He probably didn’t expect to have to put up with Marr’s booming impressiong of Gordon Brown, though.

The presenter was asking Miliband whether the impressive, statesmanlike campaigns against Scottish independence by Alastair Darling and Gordon Brown meant that they deserved to be given shadow cabinet positions, but for some reason (as you can watch above) Marr chose to ask about Brown by doing it in the former PM’s voice.

Ed did his best to grin through it, but this as pure a combination of fear and confusion as this Mole has ever seen:
