Interesting timing for David Miliband to pop up on the Today programme:

@pvall: David Miliband spot on on Syria. The prime minister we should have had. #r4today

David Miliband on @BBCr4today speaking on Syria was a revelation. He's confident, erudite and inspiring. Silly, silly Labour.

I'd just like to say that David Miliband is on @BBCr4today right now and he's brilliant. Such a loss.

Just heard David Miliband talking with gravitas and real insight into the crisis in Syria on #r4today

David Miliband is everything Ed is not. You can be certain were David leader of the @UKLabour party Cameron wouldn't have had it so easy

Though the Tories would have had him in The Hague for war crimes by now, had he won.
