...be most helpful to the party on the front line, in South Shields and around the country, rather than on the front bench in Parliament," he said. "I felt this gave Ed the space and at the same time the support he needed to lead the party without distraction. He has done so with real success, leading a united team that has taken the fight to the Tories. "I am very pleased and proud that our shared goal of making this a one-term Government is achievable." Mr Miliband said that joining the IRC would give him the opportunity to help some of the most desperate people in the world. "The organisation was founded at the suggestion of Albert Einstein in the 1930s for those fleeing the Nazis, so given my own family history there is an additional personal motivation for me," he said. "I feel that in doing this job I will be repaying a personal debt." He added: I will forever be Labour. But after writing two election manifestoes in 1997 and 2001, and serving as a minister for eight years, I now have to make a choice about how to give full vent to my ideas and ideals. "I hope you will understand that the opportunity to lead the IRC represents a unique chance to put my experience into practice on behalf of some of the least fortunate people on Earth." The former Foreign Secretary’s move brings down the curtain on what he has called the "daily soap opera" and "psychodrama" starring himself and his younger brother, who narrowly pipped him to the Labour Party leadership in 2010.Since then, David Miliband has agonised about whether to return to frontline politics. His brother made clear he would be welcomed back and many Labour figures hoped he would return to the Shadow Cabinet before the 2015 general election."
