What do you study? himalaya confido ke kya fayde This leaves Mr Miliband in a horrible position. He has recently been attempting (with little success) to distract from his union problems by whipping up a fuss over Lynton Crosby, David Cameron’s adviser. But aside from the synthetic nature of the outrage, the state of Mr Crosby’s client list is hardly as serious a matter as the very future of the Labour Party. Mr Miliband – who owes his position to the union block vote – cannot be a credible leader unless he repudiates Mr McCluskey and his ilk, and proves that the Blair years were not just a brief interregnum in Labour’s long march to the Left. The price of that credibility will be to risk bankrupting his party. It is not a pretty choice. But then, since he was the one who allowed Mr McCluskey to gain such sway over the party in the first place, it is hard to feel much sympathy.
