James Frayne in this morning's City AM:
[Ed] Miliband has a very narrow mission this week. He must deal with concerns in Westminster about his character to end speculation about his leadership. Nothing more. And this requires a speech designed to appeal purely to Westminster elites.
These elites only care about style. Miliband will therefore almost certainly be working on a speech to be delivered with no visible notes, and with decent jokes, surprising personal stories, emotional moments, and a cameo by his impressive wife. A few announcements will bulk out the coverage.
From this afternoon's Daily Mail:
Justine Miliband... has vowed to break with convention and speak out publicly about why she thinks Mr Miliband should be Prime Minister. The child actress-turned-barrister has begun making a public appearances and speeches at the Labour party conference to 'humanise' her husband.
Mr Miliband repeatedly said he would not copy David Cameron's habit of eye-catching photo opportunities while opposition leader, and would instead focus on policies.

Spare us.
But she has vowed to break with convention and speak out publicly about why she thinks Mr Miliband should be Prime Minister.
Christ wouldn't it be funny if the Mr Miliband she was referring to was/is David ........
JH, don't worry, she won't.
AM, teehee, nice one.
Unlike Cherie Blair, who is still a child actress as well as a barrister.
IH, we're tapping in to a rich seam here.
