He Isn't Pulling Out, Because He Was Never In

David Miliband's "Why I'm Backing Gordon" article in the Observer is easily down to his usual standard; the "I Can" article in the Daily Telegraph was so bad that I honestly think it was originally submitted to the Guardian, rejected, and then published by the Telegraph as a joke. So, we can now be certain that there is not going to be so much as an outside chance of this person's becoming Prime Minister.

Nor was there ever any such chance, of course. Milly even said that himself, repeatedly. Which makes the BBC's relentless "Draft Miliband" campaign as despicable as its refusal to let the matter go, even now, is infuriatingly tedious. For all Gordon Brown's faults, even the Beeb is going to have to face the fact of a Prime Minister with a degree, but not from Oxford. The Rubicon is about to be crossed.
