Brothers, rivals, cabinet colleagues? When Ed Miliband beat brother David to the Labour leadership in 2010, it looked as if their relationship had been fractured beyond repair. But it appears Andy Burnham is giving serious consideration to offering them both big roles in his administration. Can the Milibands really work together again in government after years of estrangement? Will it be senior women in the cabinet who are forced to make way for their promotion to power? And what does it say about Burnham’s political instincts that he appears to be so reliant on former friends from the Blair-Brown era? Niall Paterson speaks to Sky’s chief political correspondent, Jon Craig. #andyburnham #edmiliband #davidmiliband #ukpolitics Have you got something you want the team to look into?
