Why David Miliband is staying

Daniel Finkelstein, making the assumption that Labour has already lost the election, misses the point as to why David Miliband has turned down the job as the EU’s foreign minister.

Some of us…will fight, fight and fight again to save the party we love.

That is why David Miliband is staying.
