Faint praise

David Blunkett (former Home Secretary under Tony Blair) damned Ed Miliband with faint praise on the Today programme this morning.

He argued that Clement Attlee had a dull-as-ditchwater personality and yet made a great prime minister.

Therefore, his argument goes, a dud like Ed Miliband must be in with a chance.

Oh how galling it must be for former panjandrums such as David Blunkett and John Prescott to see former bag-carrier Ed Miliband in the leadership role they coveted for themselves.

The meek shall inherit the earth Mr Blunkett, not the womanising big-mouths who can't accept it's all over.
