What To Do With A Miliband?

Bearded europhile Timothy Garton Ash backs David Miliband to be the EU's new High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy aka the EU Foreign Minister on the grounds that Milipede has:
just delivered one of the most eloquent, forceful arguments for a European foreign policy I have read in a long time.
Meanwhile unbearded eurosceptic Irwin Stelzer backs David Miliband to be the EU's new High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy aka the EU Foreign Minister on the grounds that:
the force of the [Lisbon} treaty will depend on the quality of the key appointees, we should all be pleased if he does get the post.
Stelzer seems more convincing but wonder whether David Miliband's abilities would be better utilised leading the Labour Party after the next election.

Shouldn't it be 'moustacioed eurosceptic Irwin Stelzer'?
Also, since you posted this, Milipede has received a bollocking from the Chief Rabbi of Poland for the remarks he made claiming the leader of the Law & Justice Party is anti-semitic.
It's not his week is it !

Yes.

And I heard the Chief Rabbi's interview. It's devestating for Miliband, even Michael White admits that Miliband has now lost the argument!
