Is David Milliband trying to appeal to the ‘grey’ vote with his selections?

Are Sting & Elton Labour Party donors?

For a far better selection of music check out, Labour’s new MP for Streatham, Chuka Umunna’s tracks of the fortnight, which he has revealed as part of the new ‘Sounds of Streatham’ feature on StreathamPulse.com

How many other MP’s are UK Garage fans?

There’s the potential for some amusing over-close-reading of the Shostakovich choice; the first symphony he wrote after Stalin’s death and all that. Some people even (probably wrongly) think that the extremely savage second movement is a musical portrait of the dead dictator.

Do you not think it’s a bit odd he’s taking a guitar that he can’t even play (yet)? And then uses his book selection to take ‘Teach yourself to play guitar’?

Nothing wrong with Sting or Elton John, by the way!
