First it was Blair having a dig at Ken Clarke, and now Labour leadership contender David Miliband has a go too.
Speaking with Lobbydog, the shadow foreign secretary dropped the following comment into the conversation.
"It seems Ken Clarke wasn't good enough for the Tories in the past, but if I become leader and knock out Cameron then maybe he can try his luck again."
Cheeky, and yet bold. It fits in with the rather silly spin war being waged between David and his brother Ed over who is more positive about winning the leadership.
Both have been putting out statements saying they are “increasingly confident” of victory. But I suppose here David takes it to the next level, saying as he does that he will not only win the leadership, but that he'll beat the PM too.

I'll give Clarke another shot when I beat Cameron...

It is very bold of him to kindle a war. There can be serious consequences in a duel between brothers, whose blood ties in any case will leap. I would not risk it in his place.
