Milburn looks to radical third term

Milburn looks to radical third term (Epolitix)

Every time I see Alan Milburn speak, it makes me want to vote anything but Labour. I’m sure that’s not the intention, but I’m equally sure I’m not the only one who cannot stand this man. So why do they insist on using him in an election campaign? He can only be damaging. He is the most obivously slimy, smarmy politician I’ve ever seen wheeled out to try and win people’s votes.
