By Steve Hynd David Milliband, the British Foreign Secretary, is a typical Blairite. If his lips are moving, he's spinning something - nothing gets said without it serving a domestic political purpose. Yesterday he had this to say about Afghanistan: In an interview with the Guardian at the end of a visit to Kabul for the presidential inauguration of Hamid...

Baroness Who? If the EU really wanted to downplay the creation of a new President and Foreign Secretary it couldn’t have done much better than give the top job to a Belgian and the other to an obscure Baroness from Britain. Baroness Ashton of Upholland (where?) is an ex-CND campaigner with a degree in sociology and all the right contacts, being married to the political pundit and Yougov polling...

I would like to congratulate Baroness Ashton on her appointment as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. I actually think that this is the best case scenario for Britain - I think David Milliband would have made more of the position than he needed to. I'm sure Cathy Ashton will perform her role admirably. It does bother me though that Lady Ashton rose to such power...

Hillary Clinton, the sprightly young 62-year-old U.S. secretary of state, has now taken the special relation between London and Washington to a different high, by falling for 44-year-old British foreign minister David Milliband. Apparently, Hillary was all shivers and swoon while talking about her counterpart and is reported to have a crush, just by speaking [...]
