The trade magazine for public relations, PR Week, is running a breathless exclusive to the effect that my former Weber Shandwick colleague DJ Collins is ear-marked by David Miliband to be No10 Comms Chief in the parallel universe where Miliband has enough support in the Labour Party to become PM.

Let's do it sooner rather than later By Edward Lucas 28th August 2008 David Miliband is hardly the kind of man to set the hard nuts of the old KGB trembling.
