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).

"Public policy analyst"

An IP editor, most recently at 86.20.153.38 (talk · contribs), 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. ninety:one 23:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
