Miliband Minor's Twitter Mauling

There's a certain idiotic brilliance to this. I mean, what the hell to Ed Miliband and his team think was going to be the outcome of him answering questions on Twatter? Are they really so naive that they thought that only people as earnest as Miliband Minor would head online to talk to him? It was an example of someone who really should have known better walking headlong into the most obvious of ambushes. And that ambush was actually created by Team Miliband Minor. Talk about making a rod for your own back.

But after a pretty disastrous week for the lesser Miliband, this is surely the last thing he wanted - a widely reported online savaging (even if The Guardian is desperately trying to spin it). And the fact that he created this own goal speaks volumes about just how inept he is as politician. I reckon that this will be one of those moments that people in the future will use to explain to others why Ed Miliband had to be replaced as Labour leader.
