Edward Samuel Miliband (born 24 December 1969, London, England) is a British economist and British politician. He has been chairman of the Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers, which directs the UK's long-term economic planning. He was elected Labour Member of Parliament for the South Yorkshire constituency of Doncaster North in the 2005 general election. He was appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister of the Cabinet Office on 28 June 2007 making him and his brother David Miliband the first brothers to serve in Cabinet since Edward and Oliver Stanley. Miliband was also appointed to the Privy Council as he works in close proximity to papers of state and The Queen.

Miliband is the son of Marion Kozak and the late Marxist theorist Ralph Miliband (son of Polish-Jewish parents from Warsaw) who fled Belgium during the Second World War. He read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and Economics at the London School of Economics. After a brief career in television journalism, he became a speechwriter and researcher for Labour politician Harriet Harman in 1993, and then for Shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown the following year. He has worked in an economic capacity since, although in 2003–4, he spent a year's sabbatical at Harvard University, as a visiting lecturer in government.
In early 2005 he resigned from HM Treasury and, in May, was elected to Parliament. In Tony Blair's cabinet reshuffle of 5 May 2006 he was made the Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office.[1]
In June 2007, he was appointed Cabinet Office minister in Gordon Brown's first Prime Ministerial cabinet and given the task of drafting Labour's manifesto for the next general election. [2]
He is the younger brother of the MP and Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Like his brother, he is often regarded as a rising star of the Labour Party.
