Miliband Mocked Over Kitchen Arrangements

Labour leader Ed Miliband has tried to quell controversy over the kitchen arrangements at his London home, by insisting he only "uses the small one".

Mr Miliband was filmed drinking tea with his wife Justine in a modest kitchen at the £2m property earlier this week.

The images, in a BBC profile, prompted Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine to criticise the "forlorn little" room, calling it "devoid of colour and character".

Columnist Jenni Russell tried to defend Mr Miliband, godfather to her child, by tweeting that his main kitchen was "lovely" and the footage merely showed "the functional kitchenette by sitting room for tea and quick snacks".

But the intervention did not have the desired effect, and saw Mr Miliband mocked by opponents as "Two Kitchens" - a reference to former deputy prime minister John Prescott's nickname of "Two Jags".

Mr Miliband has denied choosing to be filmed in the smaller kitchen because it was less imposing.

He told the Birmingham Mail: "The house we bought had a kitchen downstairs when we bought it.

"And it is not the one we use. We use the small one upstairs."

When asked again why he was shown in the smaller kitchen, Mr Miliband added: "This is the kitchen Justine and I use."

He joked: "I think Justine would probably say she wishes I'd spend more time in the kitchen."
