It’s a Net Zero from the Strictly judges! Eco zealot Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband shows off his dancefloor moves during Caribbean trip (before realising he’s being filmed…)
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband joined Prime Minister Andy Burnham for a steel band visit in Antigua during a Caribbean trip linked to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. Miliband’s brief dance, which stopped when he noticed he was being filmed, and the pair’s musical attempt offered a light-hearted moment during a visit otherwise marked by a dispute over a British apology for the slave trade.
The Hell’s Gate steel orchestra played as the visitors arrived, including the William Tell overture. Miliband and Burnham then tried playing “Mary had a Little Lamb” on steel pans, repeating its opening line; orchestra director Khan Cordice praised Burnham as a musician. Burnham also played cricket with Sir Viv Richards and slipped while trying to run.
In short
- Miliband danced briefly during a steel band visit in Antigua.
- He and Burnham tried playing “Mary had a Little Lamb”.
- The trip coincided with the Commonwealth summit and an apology row.
