“He’s taken us from unelectability - the worst election results from 1935 - to being more than contenders now, for a serious general election.” Describing Starmer as a “break from Corbynism”, he added that Labour had very little attacking to do when it came to the Tories, noting the Conservatives had “done that pretty effectively themselves”.“For the Americans, us thinking divorce from Europe can be a route to being a route to Washington is complete make believe,” he said.“We should recognise that ‘boosterism’ and talking ourselves up is not a serious substitute for serious policy,” said Miliband.
“In respect of Europe, it seems to me what he’s trying to do is make sure he doesn’t get cornered by his political opponents - which is completely understandable”
