On Sunday Politics earlier today Janan Ganesh referred to "David Miliband" when he meant Ed.
He corrected himself immediately of course.
But Mr Ganesh is a professional political commentator. It is his job to get these things right first time. He is paid to be accurate.
And does this not illustrate the core problem? Ed Miliband is struggling to get name recognition. When even the political cognoscenti slip up, how can the Ed's branding resonate with the wider electorate?
Also on Sunday Politics Diane Abbot talked about the "bitching and moaning" currently going on in the Labour party about Labour's less than dazzling performance in the local elections.
Andrew Neil talked of criticism of "guacamole-eating skinny latte sipping" metropolitans who control the Labour party.
The knives are out.
The spears are being washed.
