as you say he may come back to frontline UK politics in the future but I fear his time may have come and gone and that he will never again rise to the Ministerial heights he once occupied.

I agree with that, I said earlier that you have to really take your chances in politics as soon as they come along and he gambled all on the leadership and narrowly lost.
I think he was nobl,e in that maybe, had it been any other leader elected other than his Brother then he may have felt it a good thing to live to fight another day.
Once Ed was elected,I think that thought left him quickly.
He was for me however a good Foreign Secretary,it is sad that he walked off from politics, still in my view anyway, having a lot of good to contribute to politics.
