Following Labour's defeat by the Conservative Party at the 2015 general election, Miliband resigned as leader on 8 May 2015. He was succeeded following a leadership election by Jeremy Corbyn. On 6 April 2020, Corbyn's successor Keir Starmer appointed Miliband Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, succeeding Rebecca Long-Bailey. He became Shadow Secretary of State for Climate Change and Net Zero in the November 2021 British shadow cabinet reshuffle. He also set up the Socialist Register with Saville in 1964 and was influenced by the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, of whom he had been a friend. He published The State in Capitalist Society in 1969, a study in Marxist political sociology, rejecting the idea that pluralism spread political power, and maintaining that power in Western democracies was concentrated in the hands of a dominant class. [9] His departure ushered in, ultimately, the Jeremy Corbyn years – a disastrous period for the Labour party. Has the hard left been vanquished? How united is the party now? “I think it’s pretty united. I have this joke about the Labour party. Most people say: let’s bury our differences. We say: let’s bury our similarities.” His argument is that while Corbyn was a bolder version of himself, other things – major things – also contributed to his election as leader: the financial crisis, Brexit, tuition fees; above all, the feeling on the part of many Labour voters that they had been left behind. On 25 July 2002, it was announced that Miliband would take a 12-month unpaid sabbatical from HM Treasury to be a visiting scholar at the Center for European Studies of Harvard University for two semesters. [19] He spent his time at Harvard teaching economics, [20] and stayed there after September 2003 for an additional semester teaching a course titled "What's Left? The Politics of Social Justice". [21] During this time, he was granted "access" to Senator John Kerry and reported to Brown on the presidential hopeful's progress. [22] After Miliband returned to the UK in January 2004 Gordon Brown appointed him Chairman of HM Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers as a replacement for Ed Balls, with specific responsibility for directing the UK's long-term economic planning.

After the Labour Party was defeated at the 2010 general election, Brown resigned as Leader of the Labour Party; in September 2010, Miliband was elected to replace him. His tenure as Labour leader was characterised by a leftward shift in his party's policies under the " One Nation Labour" branding, and by opposition to the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government's cuts to the public sector. Miliband also abolished the electoral college system to elect the leader and deputy leader of the Labour Party, and replaced it with a " one member, one vote" system in 2014. He led his party into several elections, including the 2014 European Parliament election.

Reasons to be Cheerful

Suddenly, I’m all excitement. I’m wondering about the Ed Stone, that hubristic folly with which, in our house, we’ve been fixated ever since the Daily Mail promised a case of champagne to the person who could find it (to remind you, the Ed Stone was a large stone tablet on which six 2015 election pledges had unaccountably been inscribed). Is it out there, trailing ivy? Alas, it isn’t. “I don’t know where it is,” says Miliband, good naturedly. “I wish I could say it’s in my toilet, but I think it’s smashed up somewhere. If I find it, I’ll let you Kidd, Colin (2011). "The Warren Commission and the Dons: An Anglo-American Microhistory". Modern Intellectual History. 8 (2): 415. doi: 10.1017/S1479244311000242.

When I raise Labour’s disappointing performance in recent local elections he deflects with the observation that in his Doncaster constituency the party’s vote held up. When I suggest that the Conservatives will keep pushing arguments about flags and patriotism as long as it feels like a free punch on an undefended opposition bruise, he shifts the conversation to an area where the left finds easier agreement: “There is a consensus across Labour on the need for big economic change. That is the right thing for the country and where the mainstream and vast majority of the party is.” It's important to remember the extent to which things can change in ways you don’t anticipate, in ways that people can’t see On 7 October 2013, Miliband reshuffled his Shadow Cabinet for the third time, saying that this would be the last reshuffle before the general election. [92] In a move similar to his 2011 reshuffle, several MPs from the 2010 intake were promoted, while more long-serving MPs were moved. Tristram Hunt and Rachel Reeves received promotions, while Liam Byrne and Stephen Twigg were among those demoted. [92]
