David Miliband: My brother is best man to lead Labour

David Miliband has said his brother Ed will lead Labour into the next election and is the "best man" to do so.

The former foreign secretary told the BBC that the Labour leader was willing to confront the "big and difficult arguments" facing the country.

On his own future, Mr Miliband said it had been right to take a "step back" and focus on "grass roots" politics.

But he said he had not taken a "trappist vow" and would continue to speak out on issues that concerned him.

The former cabinet minister is spearheading a new initiative to tackle youth unemployment which he says has reached "emergency" proportions in parts of the country.

Mr Miliband has taken a back seat since being defeated in the 2010 Labour leadership contest, opting not to join his brother's shadow cabinet.

But he has assumed a higher profile in recent weeks, warning his party in a recent magazine article that it needs to challenge its assumptions about the role of the state in delivering policy, rethink its policies in areas such as education, health and crime and not spend its time simply "reassuring" its supporters.
