The Young Pretender

David Miliband looks so like Tim Henman. By all accounts he is very nice too. Nice wife. Nice children

Clever. Very good on paper

Until quite recently he just played the minor tournaments – think tanks & policy units. Then came into the Grand Slam tournaments but has not made much of an impression on the public

Does not have the weight, authority or killer instinct to be Number 1. I am not sure that he understands power or its limitations

Funnily enough, there is someone else he reminds me of. Another dark eyed, wide eyed, clever child who got a First – Cherie Blair
