Mr Miliband’s criticism of Lord Cameron focused on his appointment of Andrew Parsons in a Civil Service role, having previously been the then-Tory leader’s personal photographer.
“Now, with photos of him and a bacon sandwich and the ‘Ed Stone’ seared in the public mind, you can see why uber-hypocrite Ed ‘two kitchens’ Miliband has hypocritically hired a taxpayer-funded vanity photographer to try and avoid such snaps in the future.”.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is recruiting for a role to cover the whole of its work, rather than as a personal photographer for Mr Miliband.
The Energy Secretary’s department is recruiting a part-time photographer to cover ministerial visits and shoot official portraits, on a pay and pension package worth around £50,000 a year on a pro-rata basis.
But shadow paymaster general Richard Holden condemned Mr Miliband, claiming he wants the photographer to sharpen his public image.
