Ed Miliband, the new Labour Party leader, was put there by the largest trade unions.

A majority of Labour MPs and constituency parties opposed him.

He is therefore beholden to the unions and will take the Party to the Left. Labour is as unelectable now as it was under Kinnock nearly 20 years ago. The Blair legacy of New Labour is history. You hear Miliband but it is Whelan and Hugh Lanning (PSC and PCS, or are they the same) pulling the strings.

Unsurprisingly Miliband's views on Israel seem to be the same as the TUCs. He wants Israel to end the blockade on Gaza and has condemned the flotilla action by the IDF.

So what - Ed Miliband is irrelevant and Labour is now irrelevant. They have conceded the centre ground to the Conservatives and are therefore out of power for at least 15 years.

As opposed to David "Gaza is a prison camp" Cameron and William "Disproportionate" Hague?

Er ... Spammo .. Cameron is PM and Hague Foreign Minister.

Miliband is the leader of what is rapidly becoming a fringe Party.

That's the difference.

(I wouldn't have expected someone with a pea-size brain to have been able to deduce that for himself).

Err...Jonathan... it seems you agree with Cameron that Israel turned Gaza into a prison camp and Hague's view that Israel acted disproportionately in Gaza and Lebanon. Talk about Trojan Horses: are you a PSC plant as has been intimated in some places?

Let's not forget David 'standing in occupied East Jerusalem' Cameron.

Er ... Telegram Sam could you show me where Jonathan has agreed with Cameron that Israel turned Gaza into a prison camp and Hague's view that Israel acted disproportionately in Gaza and Lebanon? What about the liberal party Tonge, Chris Davies et al for the liberal party?
We are where we are Cameron & Hague - start packing.

It appears, Mr Clifford (another glove-puppet?), that Jonathan supported Cameron and Hague in the may election, despite knowing that the former had talked about "standing in occupied East Jerusalem" and despite knowing that the latter thought Israel's actions were "disproportionate".
