Clearly I will be the older brother with the more experience and better charisma. And although blood is thicker than water, I will be miffed for losing the Labour Party Leadership but at the same time chuffed for my little dewy eyed brother and thinking to myself; the little rascal actually beat me, way to go Ed!

At only 44 years of age I have represented the UK in the world arena and counselled with world leaders forged a close friendship with Hillary Clinton and was at the heart of some serious world events.

But I will be pragmatic and realistic, sad in the knowledge that my time in the UK’s front line politics has been cut short and abruptly came to an end, but brave to call it a day and move on, with the support of my loving family and the understanding of my comrades and supporters I will take a back seat and quietly disappear when the time is right.

The words of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas this morning could not have been any simpler:“There is only one choice in front of Israel: either peace or settlements”

But well either takes place, will either happen – that is the question, the desire, the hope and the fear that plagued the region for decades!

Of course Ed Miliband, Labour’s new leader who only won because of the unions’ vote and support will reject claims that he is their stooge. And of course, as he told Andrew Marr this morning, he finds being called Red Ed tiresome, plus its understandable him reaching out to the middle classes!

So far he is a colour and label free man who knows his own mind and wants to reach out to the heart of the country – in other words he is a politician – nothing new there!

Except in his case, he was not the Parliamentary Labour Party choose, nor was he the grassroots pick, but, he most defiantly was and will always be during this leadership the unions’ pick and their man, so what will a seasoned politician do in this case?

To many the unions conjure up images of trouble, strikes, and militancy, visions of times bygone, a past where negotiations are done by threats dictating and walk out not by talks and compromise to reach what’s best for all.

Unfortunately for Mr Miliband, before he can move forward he needs to take a step backwards, and show true leadership and gravitas, he needs to face his union buddies and get them to call off next weeks strike – and remember, either way and whatever he do from now on the middle classes will always be watching.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha – this is just awesome news – ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha now Labour, I mean ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the Tories have the dream ticket ha ha ha ha to fight – Ken for London Mayor and Ed Miliband in five years ha ha ha ha ha as their leader.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha – enough need to go and celebrate properly ha ha!!

In all our euphoria about the Ken & Able Labour Leadership race, there is a very important person we all forgot about, and that is mama Miliband.

As a mother I am positive she loves both her boys equally, and her heart will equally rejoice for the winner and grieve for the loser. That is why I am not at all surprised that in this historical party and family moment she decided to not watch and stay away from the proceedings!

Good-Luck to her, and the five Leadership contestants, what ever the result is today, they all did good!

Tomorrow is the day the media, Labourites and most of the political class have been waiting for. After the Brown Coronation and what seemed to be the longest leadership contest in history, the Labour Party will have their first elected leader since Tony Blair in 1994!

Talking to some journalist yesterday, their uncontained excitement was only overshadowed by not knowing who the Labour membership will elect as leader.

Never before was a leadership contest as unpredictable as this one. But, whoever wins tomorrow will have their work cut out for them. The coalition government, cuts included, is gaining a lot of public support and approval, and that makes being in opposition a very tricky business – the habit of opposing for the sake of opposing will not work – nor will claiming to be “progressive”.

Of course, as usual, Labour will soar in the polls but how high and for how long depends very much on who they elect; their honeymoon can be anything from a quickie one/two weeks to a lush three month.

Either way UK politics is set to become even more interesting – I too can not wait!

According to Tony Blair, the Labour leadership is a three horse race, between the two Miliband brothers and Ed Balls. If the Labour party members agree with him, then the obvious Labour leader is David Miliband. It also explains why Ed Balls was so miffed this morning.

In the three years since Blair left office, he kept deliberately very quite and out of UK politics. He told Andrew Marr in last night’s interview, that he knew how it felt to be judged by former leaders, and he did not want to be that person. Staying away all this time and only appearing to help his party during the general election gives him a lot of credence.

If Labour membership felt the same way he did, and elected David Miliband for leader, our politics will become even more interesting – with similarish three main party leaders, two of whom in coalition, ruling and officially working together and the third agreeing with everything they say and do – oh what fun!

Just when the Silly Season started to become interesting, recess is ending. Forget New and Old Labour now we have Bitchy Labour – Tony Blair who won the party three consecutive general elections is now a taboo, not be talked about and preferably never to be mentioned again!!

In addition to that, Labour is juggling two fighting rings, simultaneously, on one side they have Peter (The Prince of Darkness) Mandelson tearing down Ed (The Younger) Miliband. This fight is bloody, nasty and Mandy is not fighting by the rules.

On the other stage we have a cage fight, a dirty fight, between John (Left Hook, Go Fourth, just give me a cause to fight over) Prescott; he eats puppies for breakfast and washes it down with a milkless dozen raw eggs milk shake. He is fighting Tom (The Honest Labourite, tell it as it is) Harris, who has age and agility on his side provided Prescott does not sit on him.

Burning old bridges plus two internal fights are set to keep the rest of this summer sizzling!

Who’s the nasty party now!

Labour leadership hopeful, Ed Balls, gave a speech to Bloomberg, titled the Growth Diners, in response to George Osborne’s speech from 10 days ago.

In a little over 6200 words, the speech was a lesson in History “his version of it”, Politics, Economics and a recap of his visit to the East Coast of America. He reiterated Labour’s promise of cutting the budget deficit over four years but gave no real solutions or alternatives.

I guess, the public should now feel relieved and vindicated in booting Brown out, as his protégée, Ed Balls would have changed nothing and carried on business as usual, sinking this country deeper into recession!

Could David Miliband be the fresh new thing that Labour so desperately needs now? In a speech last night he said: “Labour needed to learn from former Tory chancellor RA Butler, arguing that the party should not merely oppose every move the Coalition Government makes” and hinted that Labour should accept the need to cut public spending by rolling back the power of the state.

Very Coalitionisc!
