What's the difference between David and Ed Milliband? I've only just recently realised there were two of them. Is one better than the other?

Do they have any special powers that I should know about. Can one of them fly, and the other take on the powers of other superheroes.

One has strange teeth the other doesn't
Hilary Clinton fancies one but not the other

According to historical facts they had a father (!) who was a famous marxist...but I don't know if he was one of the original Marx Brothers, or a groupie.
Ed is 4 years younger and head of "climate change', Dave is Foreign Secretary.
Since they are conjoined, people still wonder about the age difference.

No one really knows what they do, but from recent events and looking into
the future, it doesn't portend well for my friends in the UK.

Go with God.

I noticed the funny teeth. They belong to the silly one. I didn't realise there was a sensible one, too. So when everyone was talking about Milliband becoming leader of the labour party I was a bit confused. Now I know that there's two of them, its becoming a bit clearer.

Thank you Mr Morse and Global W. Invaluable information. I'm going to have to do more research. It seems a whole new cast of characters is coming onto the political stage tonight and I don't know much about them. Its going to be fun finding out who they are.

joined at the hip I heard...maybe even a little lower. Fergus would know.
JB too...they're usually behind things like that or up on them....

All those pols over there look a wee bit washed out and perhaps a little too
keen on reliving those spanking sessions and drop the soap in the shower in those boys schools...the ones where they all wear the same tie....

Where's the crusty old bastard with the cigar rallying the troops and all...

We all good use a little backbone to get over the hump, eh?

And what about Ian and Duncan Smith. Are they related?

But not in a gay way, obviously...

Has anyone ever seen the two Milliband 'brothers' in the same room together??

No, thought not.

Same goes for Janet and Michael Jackson.

The only time they were seen in the same room was when one of them was in a shiny gold death box and even that might have been an 'elaborate hoax'..................

I know I shouldn't, but lol.

So is the one with the funny teeth the more successful of the two? Yesterday I thought it was the other way around.

I suppose I've got another 5 years to get to know which one is which, before one of them becomes Prime Minister.

First off, anything involving politics is embarrassing. Secondly, there's not way to tell by the teeth because neither of them have teeth. They swap their prosthetic teeth on alternating appearances.

I never thought of teeth sharing. These politicians...next they'll be sharing cabinets.

...the one with the real little pointy teeth is from Arkansas.
That's in the US. You don't want to go there, unless it's for the music.

I watched a bit about the Millibands on Newsnight last night and I'm not even sure Newsnight knows who's who.

I can offer an important difference Froggy..


David Miliband only talks in NewLabourspeak..

Whereas his brother speaks English..

What is NewLabourspeak?

Well, it means being absolutely 'clear' about everything.

And saying how 'clear' you are as often as possible.

It also means including the word 'Everyone' every few paragraphs..

Because if 'Everyone' agrees and 'Everyone' knows..

whatever it is you're talking about must therefore be correct..

Then, it involves the art of preventing anyone else getting a word in edgeways.

To do that, you talk fast and loud...

inventing sentences that go on forever and ever and ever..

Peter Mandelson is the master of this. Followed by Alastair Campbell..

Gordon Brown was a fine exponent. Not to forget John Prescott. And many others.

Give me Ed every time.

I suspect he might be human..

Didnt they have a brother, Steve, who had a rock band?
