Description | Both Ed and David Miliband have said their bid to be the next Labour Party leader will not affect family relations, but what divides the two brothers?
The brothers were born four and a half years apart and grew up in north London.
Their late father, Ralph, was a Marxist intellectual who arrived in Britain in 1940, fleeing the Nazi advance into his native Belgium.
Both went to Haverstock School in Camden, a comprehensive.
Both studied the same degree at the same Oxford college and served in Gordon Brown's cabinet together - the first brothers to have done so since 1938. |
