I can see his campaign motto is "less is better" meaning the less we see of him the more votes they will get.
Its also worthy of note that Balls has gone AWOL too.

New Labour used to do that trick with Old Labour fatty Presclot.

Necessary but not sufficient.

Regardless of his role or silhouette, sometimes he just wasn't there.

He's bringing back socialism, so he says, we're bringing back our dinner.

I think paul nuttall also made the same point last night on question time. We (the government) supported insurrection, bombed a foreign country, and then left it to disintegrate.

If you make an intervention, you need to leave the country you're bombing in a better state, not worse. That's not easy is it?

Let's see what is in the speech, rather than what's reported to be in it, but why isn't this a reasonable point to discuss?

Btw - not Libyans drowning. It's people from all across the continent.

Hampstead's got a good chance of going Tory, thanks in the main to the Mansion Tax.

Bombing of Libya was in 2011 - on Dave's watch. Libya is now in complete chaos and people-smuggling is now rife because the smuggling gangs control key Libyan ports. To some extent he has a point. Coupled with the Govt withdrawing support for the Mare Nostrum rescue operation which used to hoover up a lot of these people before they drowned, then this is an issue on which the Govt look vulnerable. Would be surprising if the opposition didn't put the boot in.

IMHO, Govt foreign policy has been reactive, opportunist and lacking in strategic thinking so I see no reason why the Opposition shouldn't have a go. Whether they would be any better is a moot point. Like defence, foreign policy is one of those key issues the main parties don't seem much interested in, despite its importance.

I see plenty of reason, not least sniveling, scummy Miliband's veto on Syrian action.

oops Labour's flippy floppy policies are starting to catch up and this is going to bite them hard.
Blaming Cameron for what is happening now in the Med is par for the course he is a back stabber afterall

Very unlikely I'm afraid, Tulip looks a shoe-in at this point.

You just can't do it without the insults can you?

Tell me what the govt were trying to achieve in Syria? And how it would have made things better?

Ask Obama.

And yes, I'll insult Miliband day and night. The nasty st will cost me very significant amounts of money if he scrapes into Downing Street.
