Congratulations to David Miliband for launching a blog as Foreign Secretary.

I know he made mistakes with his Defra site, which he has acknowledged, and I am chuffed to still be included on his new blogroll.

I did predict back in July that he might be blogging again as Foreign Secretary. I like his approach, despite our different political backgrounds. He is the only minister who wants to write a blog, and he should have credit for that.

I think we are ready for an update on Burma and the injustices there, this is an ideal opportunity for him to make his mark as a blogger and to give some personal thoughts, not just an official statement.

I’m sure he can cope with the heckling this post attracted, it keeps him on his toes…
