Ed Miliband stands in for Keir Starmer at PMQs: 'Just like the old days'

Ed Miliband stood in for the Labour leader at prime minister’s questions after Keir Starmer tested positive for Covid.

The former Labour leader joked it's 'just like the old days' as he was greeted by an extended clamour from the Commons. Miliband challenged Johnson over UK’s efforts to cut global emissions and asked if the prime minister realised ‘how far away we are’ from the action needed this decade, with Cop26 just around the corner

Ed is a better labour leader now than he was when he was actually leader of the party lol

[MedjayofFaiyum]

Man, Miliband back in pmqs this time - he’s more experienced and mature - loved seeing the fresh outlook he has

[kevb]

Ed's put down 'we know he is a details man' still makes me laugh - great to see him in action again.

[rayg]

Now he does look like a labour leader. We'll done Ed

[nickkabbabe]

I love listening to Ed Miliband; he's a brilliant public speaker and also a man of integrity!

[kingmaxthe_first]

I feel like people would be suggesting ed miliband should be the next labour leader if he hadn't already been it

[kama]

Ed is a huge improvement from Starmer.

I think like maybe ten years later, Miliband might end up as Prime Minister

didnt realize liz and rishi were sitting right next to boris in this pmq. Crazy how things have changed.

[btmorley]

Used to despise Miliband, seems like a decent guy now.

[luftwaffles]

To think had Cameron lost in 2015 this would've been weekly (Milliband vs Johnson PMQ)

[scifispaceman]

tbf if ed milliband succeeded starmer nowadays he would pribably end up pm

[Haroldthecheeseman]

in case of keir resigning, use ed Milliband

[toxy]

Ed is one of the few anti Corbyn MPs I don't find completely insufferable.

[martinsmith]

Obviously Ed was having fun with the buffoon, but in reality he had no pressure on him

[davidnichol]

Don't understand why Ed Miliband is on the back benches with all that talent. Why did Rayner not step in. Or is it horses for courses.

[Manicus-gxde]

Ed Miliband would of been a hilarious prime minister would rather him of the ones we had

[Rhydem]

Ed went for labour leader too early. He's gotten charismatic and gives an aura of leader as he has aged.

[baders]

This makes me yearn for a simpler time.

Put the bills down to reasonable prices and everything else and give us our money back for fleecing us for over 50% in Green taxes robbery that we did not agree to. Our kids should be able to afford to but houses when they become adults
