Ed Miliband at the Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year Awards 2013

“Only a Belgian communist could have killed a kitten like that – the RED BASTARD!” says Ed Miliband, quoting from the article.

Miliband, who won a new prize called Political Speech of the Year (for the energy freeze pledge, which ‘transformed his fortunes’), took the opportunity to read out a Sunday Sport story.

This particular story had accused his ‘Belgian communist’ father of ‘killing a cat’ when cycling through the British countryside during the war.)
