Rob Paris: "Yes bring him back. The worst thing the Labour Party did was to galvanise the left and allow his brother to win. If David had been leader Labour would have won the last election ... He is the best person for the job. If Labour don't Corbyn will split the party and there will be no credible opposition in Whitehall."

David Cook: "If he comes back Labour is a dead duck and will be another extension of Conservatives, just like Nick Clegg was for the Liberal Democratics."

David Pritchard: "The question is does he want it?"

Paul Lovell: "Labour needs to get back to representing the working classes and NOT big business! DAVID MILLIBAND IS BIG BUSINESS."

Robert Ambrose: "No, he's been gone too long."
