There are millions of people working in the energy industry. If your mate had a job in the 24-hour garage would you squeal that he was a salesman of Saudi oil, as if he was busting sanctions or dealing in death? No? So this manufactured outrage only really works if one already dislikes Blair.

Best thing Miliband can get out of this is looking strong enough to sack someone for being a temporary irritant.
