Default One of the best stand-ups I've ever seen...

...Ed *****. What a laugh! The way he stutters and stumbles over every other sentence, his nervy, half-hearted but wholly comic apologies, the gimmicks, the soundbites and that hilariously inept, damp squib peroration.

Can't wait for Milliband, his effort should prove to be similarly side-splitting 'though I think he will edge it courtesy of his Punch-like nasal tones. That's the way to do it!

I can't look at Miliband without thinking of Wallace & Grommet.

I think they'll just wheel these idiots about until after the next election. The other Milliband is probably waiting in the wings while his brother gets his 15 minutes.

Without a doubt, kept his head down and kept his mouth shut watching and waiting...


I guess he never thought it would be this easy

Ed ***** is just the warm up for the main event. Milliband is the headline act and that will be funny!!!

They make Cameron and Osborne look competent and that in itself is worth an award.

He's an awful man with ambition way beyond his ability.

He is a Scholar of note though but maybe that says something about our academic institutions these days?

He's never had a proper job.

Labour don't have a coherent economic policy.

Shame UKIP don't have a stronger profile with some heavyweights, Hesletline types perhaps, as the country is crying out for a strong anti-Europe party that will get to real grips with gov't waste and the benefits gravy train.

The Tories are OK aside from being blackmailed by that wishy-washy waste of time Clegg and, quite frankly, Labour don't cut it.

This was never going to work any more than Labour's policies were... something in between was what was needed exactly as I said at the time!

You have to stand just to your left of Millimetre to be able to hear him at his clearest.

These lot just don't have 'it'.

My dad & elder brother where street traders in London,selling dodgy stuff out of a suitcase.(just think Delboy)
I always thought they & their mates were the cream of the crop when it came to spiel & patter but T.B. made them look like amateurs.

Just a better con-man than the rest.

I thought this thread might have been about humour, but it's just the same old political **** cheese.

Thumbs down

Miliband has about as much charisma as a dead Haddock.

His speech was a complete unmemorable bore. He'd have been better off giving a 10 minute nutty summary where he actually stated a policy about something.

He has about as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as Gaddafi has of winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
