What surprised me most, however, was the degree to which getting too excited by the threat of communist subversion was not usually done by MI5 but rather by government.

The Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, who now tweets as @DMiliband, was beaten...

The French Socialists were trounced by Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007 and have never recovered. The Italian left was bested by Silvio Berlusconi last year.
