The question David Miliband wouldn't answer
To the Oxford Labour leadership hustings. All as expected, until the former Foreign Secretary arrives.
Newsnight have asked me to interview David Miliband. The producer says that she's agreed with that he'll do a quick clip responding to the abolition of regional development agencies.
But when I ask if he'll do it, he completely blanks me. I say it's all been fixed with London. No, he's certainly not talking to you an aide insists.
We get the clip from Ed Balls instead.
And we get a strong sense of how much David Miliband really, really doesn't want to be asked about the judicial inquiry into MI5 co-operation with torture.
Welcome to the hustings! I'm Peter Henley, the BBC's political reporter in the south of England. From parish councils in Sussex, to European politics in Oxford, this is the blog for you.
