David Miliband: I can't return to the shadow cabinet soap opera I lost the leadership election, and I thought the fairest thing, the right thing, for Ed and the party, was for me to step back from the front line. I didn't stop thinking, I didn't stop caring about the issues that matter to me, but I didn't want a daily soap opera about what did I say, and what did Ed say, and how does that fit together," he told the BBC. We talk to each other, he's my brother, I want him to win the election and become Prime Minister, because he's my brother, because he's the leader of my party, and because I think he can make a big difference to the country. He's the best man to lead Labour and to lead the country. He can speak himself, I can speak for myself. The important thing is that when I've got something to say, and I think it will help Labour, help the country and help the debate, I should be able to say it. I lost an election, but I didn't take a decision not to think. I didn't take a Trappist vow that said I'm never going to say anything again. He added: "I have no interest in refighting a leadership election. The only election I care about is the general election, under Ed's leadership, which the Labour party is going to win for the good of the country. Mr Miliband, the chair of a taskforce on youth unemployment, will today unveil a report calling for more action on apprenticeships and wage subsidies for young workers. He said time spent out of work under the age of 25 is a "scar" that the young carry for the rest of their lives. "The current government did not invest this problem but it has become a lot worse in the last eighteen months," he added.
