Poor Old David Singleton. He writes a feature spelling out who exactly is in team Miliband and people in the know either fall over laughing or issue hilarious and righteously angry denials. Result? Egg applied liberally to face.
Poor Chap. After all, circle of influence graphics are the new black*, and it’s a poor journalist who can’t produce one on demand.
So as part of my public service mission to inform and enlighten, and in order to help journalists the country over. I’ve produced a David Miliband “Circle of incluence chart” that is 100% error free, user customisable and in glorious technicolour.
All you have to do is print it out, fill in the gaps and stick it on your office wall, and you too will look like the ultimate westminster savvy insider.
Better yet, scrawl in a few randomly chosen names, send it off to PR week with a note saying “this is teh neww kabinet under dafydd M. OK? Lolzzz xxx” and you’ve got yourself a page lead and “Trusted Labour Source” status. Kool!
Enjoy!
The circle of influence
* I toyed with producing a “Hopi Sen- Circle of influence” organogram, but I worked out that the person I spoke to most often was Angela from Barnard Marcus estate agents, Balham. That wouldn’t look good on the Organogram.

The funniest thing about the PR Week article (as opposed to the diagram, which is just stupid) is the headline, which uses the verb “eyes up” when it should use “eyes”. Or is Singleton also claiming that Miliband is gay?

My god Miliband is gay, well well well.

I misread ‘organogram’ as ‘onanogram’… still works!
