Miliband: master of the double entendre?
Heh.
An otherwise unremarkable Foreign Office Questions was livened up briefly by Miliband the Younger's response to a question as to whether the FCO anticipated Musharraf would still be in power in a few weeks hence.
Miliband gravely informed the Chamber that he felt it unwise to speculate on the future careers of politicians.

No, just that David's slightly older, isn't he?
