The Labour leader has been criticised for playing an accordion throughout his speech, in case anyone heard any of his promises and expected him to stick to them.

Ed Miliband bounded on stage at the 2014 Labour conference yesterday, and then proceeded to play the accordion during the entire duration of his speech – making his voice completely inaudible.

“He was meant to reach out to the party heartlands and define what a Labour government would do if they get elected next year,” said one conference attendant. “But all I could hear was the melody to Swing Valse.”

It’s not the first such incident – David Cameron was widely criticised for playing the cymbals during a recent speech detailing the UK’s exact position on military action in Syria.”
