After my speculation late yesterday, The New Statesman has finally put that David Miliband interview online. A quote I haven’t seen before:

“We look at the debate which says, ‘Either we have a smooth transition or you have a train crash.’ Obviously you want a smooth transition. But we want something more. These are people who are ministers, who are party MPs, party supporters; these are people of no party, who are in the voluntary sector or business or the public sector, and they want an energetic, progressive project. So what I believe is that we need more than a smooth transition to Gordon Brown – we need an energising, refreshing transition to Gordon Brown”

You don’t get much more energising than a major fight…

Still, Blair’s expected to make an announcement in the next hour. It’s wait and see time once again. Let’s just hope the wait isn’t too long, eh? I doubt there’s anyone left who hasn’t had enough of this infantile nonsense…
