Miliband’s Spokesman In World Cup Pimping Gaffe

Katie Myler, Ed Miliband’s outgoing chief spokesman, has just committed Twitter suicide – sensationally talking down England’s bid for the World Cup, accusing the PM of “pimping” himself:

What would her Screws-editing father say? Presumably she believed that Blair and Ken Livingstone were pimping themselves in 2005 when pitching for the Olympics?

Via Paul Waugh at PoliticsHome.

UPDATE: Cue immediate grovelling backtrack:

“I wholeheartedly apologise for the remarks. They are no reflection whatsoever of Ed’s views. Of course, it goes without saying that I fully back the England bid”

Team Ed will clearly miss Katie when she swans off to spin for Burson-Marsteller next month. Bad Al she ain’t…

UPDATE II: Isaby puts the boot in:

“she is about to leave his employ anyway, so calls for her sacking would amount to nought. But I doubt we’ll be seeing “LadyMyler” near any genuine ermine any time soon…”

      So Team Red Ed are saying that the British government has done a secret deal with FIFA to hold the world cup in England and now Prince William, David Cameron and David Beckham are just in Zurich to bask in the favourable headlines?

      Parliament should be recalled from weekend leave and a statement given to the house by the Prime Minister.

    The trouble with these communist idiots is that they are so full of hatred and bile that they have no judgement.

    Of course the PM should be giving his all to get an opportunity for the country to make money and increase its international profile.

    The school sports thing is probably a bit of a cock up that is fixable.

        Yeah, the tories proposed a building designed to be a symbol to last a thousand years filled with examples of the pride of British achievement over the last 1000 years.

        …and labour turned that vision into a big tent, then loses millions on it.

        Labour spend billions on the Olympics and then quadruple the cost overnight.

        Given most of the major infrastructure needed is already in place, our expenditure will not be as large as that of say, Poland and Ukraine, South Africa, when hosting a major football tournament.

        Maybe some of the tourists it will attract can visit the Millenium Dome and justify its existence.

    As for the school sporting fiasco, Labour did their utmost to eliminate competitive sporting fixtures in schools.

    • 27
      Engineer says:

      I don’t understand this argument. Government have said that the money spent on this sport initiative is going direct to schools instead. So presumably the activities continue to be funded if the schools want. What’s the problem?

      • 55
        Hugh Janus says:

        I fail to see the need for all of this “funding” for school sport anyway. When I were a lad some 50-ish years ago, we were involved in a great deal of inter-school sport, far more than now – and it didn’t require huge sums of public money to make it happen – the ‘expenditure’ was generally a few teachers giving lifts in their cars and the hiring of the occasional coach. So what was it all being spent on??

        • 81
          Engineer says:

          I may have got this all wrong, but I gathered that the money was paid to co-ordinators to arrange inter-school sports fixtures, on the grounds that individual teachers didn’t have the time. But if the funding for said co-ordinators is going direct to schools instead, presumably said co-ordinators can still be paid if the schools find the position valuable.

          There is a definite whiff of fabricated argument about all this, and why the government hasn’t moved to shut up the political piss-takers is rather beyond me.

          • U-Turn if you want to, Wavy Davy is all for turning says:

            Dave slapped down Gove for school sports funding then changed his mind about it. And all the spin in the world won’t change that.

          • Engineer says:

            It isn’t spin. I can’t see the practical point of this argument. No schools will be cutting back on sports unless they want to; the money to do the sport is still available to them. All I can think is that the opposition are making a fuss because they are so ineffectual about opposing anything else.

          • misterned says:

            Correct engineer. As the Government are giving more power over how schools run themselves to the people who know best, (the head teacher) it no longer makes any sense for central government to separate out and ring-fence budgets for set school “programmes”.

            There is NO cut in the amount of money for sport, it will be up to the schools themselves to decide if to spend it on sport or academia or arts or whatever else the school may choose.

            The ring-fencing of money for sport in school did not increase the participation or amount of sport played by much anyway.

            It was a typical centralising and inefficient policy by labour. They created a problem (the reduction of school sports because it was politically incorrect to allow children to compete) Then they have an excuse to throw shit loads of money that they don’t have at it, and utterly fail to solve it.

            Far better to give the schools a budget and let them decide how they will achieve things.
