Ed Miliband Insists His Dad Did Not Kill Kittens

    The Labour leader says his father loved felines. It's just another political catfight. Updated.

    Labour leader Ed Miliband has used an awards acceptance speech to lash out at claims that his dad used to kill kittens.

    No, really.

    Here's the Sunday Sport's original story from last month.

    Ed read out the newspaper's harrowing claims about his father's anti-feline activities to the audience at The Spectator's awards.

    And generally showed that he had a sense of humour.
