We shall see, won't we?
Talented and effective though he may be, there is just a chance that making him Home Secretary is a step too far when we all know how "Pakiphobia" is running rampant in this country.
If I were Ed and had to reward him for running my leadership campaign, I would have made him Shadow Foreign Secretary. The idea of the pretty but brittle Yvette Cooper being Foreign Secretary would raise hackles too, especially amongst the more traditional nations who don't like having to deal with uppity white women.
At this rate I don't see that Ed will be getting anywhere near power, if his Shadow Cabinet appointments are anything to go by.
Like a Chinese emperor, he is far away and out of touch with the British public, but not as out of touch as David Miliband who supported the war and was dumb enough to say that he still supports it, reminding me of what Talleyrand said of the Ultramontane:
"They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”
