Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is making a bold diplomatic move to Washington D.C. for high-stakes talks with the Trump administration — despite his past fiery critiques of Trump, calling him racist, misogynist, and someone who “lowers the bar for idiocy.” Now, he’s pivoting to frame himself as a bridge-builder, eager to mend ties with Secretary Marco Rubio and push for de-escalation in the Iran crisis, smoother shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and continued UK support for Ukraine. His trip comes amid a leadership vacuum at home, with Louise Haigh handling daily affairs, and even sparks from his earlier role in blocking U.S. jets from British bases. Miliband’s mission: diplomacy over division — even if it means rewriting his own political history.
