In an interview today the Labour energy shadow minister Meg Hillier admitted that she finds it difficult to tell the difference between the Miliband brothers.
Hillier, an arch Blairite and supporter of David Miliband in the leadership election campaign, was asked by my colleague Steve Anderson what it was like working under the brother she didn’t support and she admitted she can’t really tell the difference.
“To be perfectly honest they do look alike and sound a bit alike. So when you are sitting there you don’t think gosh this is someone so different, because in some ways their mannerisms are similar,” she said.
