Andrew Marr returns to TV screens to see off David Miliband, who says relationship with brother Ed is 'healing' David Miliband bade farewell to British politics yesterday with a warning to his younger brother that the Conservatives could still win the next general election outright. His comments came in a valedictory BBC1 interview that marked the return to the screen of Andrew Marr, who suffered a major stroke six months ago. Mr Miliband told the presenter: "I know you have been to hell and back, and although viewers will be pleased to see me maybe - some of them - I think they'll be even more pleased to see you." The former Foreign Secretary, who is to head a charity based in New York, said he left British politics to end the "soap opera" of his fraternal rivalry, but admitted he could "never erase" the memory of his defeat in the 2010 battle for party leadership. Mr Miliband said: "Ed and I are brothers for life. And speaking about Labour's chances at the next general election, Mr Miliband said: "I would say it is all to play for, it is open."
