	An IP editor, most recently at {{user\|86.20.153.38}}, is repeatedly trying to amend the opening sentence to describe Miliband as "a politician '''and public policy analyst'''". As various users have suggested in their edit summaries, this is not a sensible addition. The main issue is that "public policy analyst" is not a trade or profession: a doctor who worked as a doctor and then became a politician might well be described as a "politician and a doctor", even if they didn't actively practice medicine any more, but "public policy analyst" is not a descriptor that holds any real meaning if one is also an elected politician. Secondly, there is no suggestion that Miliband is, at present, a "public policy analyst" \, or doing the work of one - he is a full-time politician. Thirdly, there are no reliable sources describing Miliband as a public policy analyst, for perhaps obvious reasons (the editor suggested that the article contains content that supports the assertion: the article does not include the word "analyst" anywhere). This text needs to stop being re-added unless and until it's addition can be justified - and the slow-time edit war needs to stop as well. ]:] 23:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Department names

Ed was head of Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change from 2008 to 2010. This is a slighly different department from Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero which is the role he currently holds. I think his 2008 role should be split out from his current role.
