David Miliband doesn’t rule out returning to British politics, again

For the second time in the past couple of months, David Miliband, former Foreign Secretary, has said he won’t rule out returning to British politics.

In an interview with Vogue magazine, Miliband said, when asked if could imagine returning to British politics,

“I don’t know. I can’t say anything, because anything I say plays into the whole narrative. I made an absolute commitment to myself not to play into the story … It’s not good for [Ed] and it’s not good for me for this to become a story.”

Miliband who left politics two years ago and became CEO of the International Rescue Committee in New York went on to note the merits of living abroad:

 “You’re certainly more anonymous in New York. You’ve got the occasional British tourist, of course, and then you’ve got people who watch BBC World, but in a city of eight million people, yes, I’m pretty anonymous. You know how people in London say, ‘Oh you must come for dinner’ and don’t always mean it? Well, there’s a sincerity in New York which I’m struck by.”

For the moment any movement on David Miliband’s part remains speculation.
