Former UK foreign secretary David Miliband has decided to quit frontline politics and return to the backbenches to let his brother, Ed, make a ``fresh start'' as leader of the UK's Labour party, reports the FT. After losing the Labour leadership contest to his brother on Saturday, Miliband wrote to his South Shields constituency party to say he would not be standing for the shadow cabinet, as he wanted to avoid media speculation of fraternal divisions whenever his comments contradicted his brother's.
