Half a job?

No real surprise that Milliband D has decided not to join the Cabinet.  The real surprise to me is that he has not gone the whole hog and resigned as an MP.  If his reasons are honest - that he doesn't want to be a distraction to his brother's leadership - then it seems to me that he's likely to be as much, if not more of a distraction on the back benches than he would be in Cabinet.  You know the old saying that it's better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.  Can't help feeling that, whether he wants it or not, he's going to find himself the focal point of any future "anti-Ed" brigade.
