This week's episode of our podcast The State of It: * David Miliband is coming back, possibly as foreign secretary, but is there really room for two Milibands in great offices of state? As one Cabinet minister put it to my colleague Oliver Wright “You cannot have more Milibands than women in the top jobs. That kind of thing matters." * Relations between the two brothers have improved markedly since Ed killed David's hopes of being Labour leader. Patrick Maguire reveals that it was Ed who was one of the first people to suggest David for a Cabinet role to Burnham, saying that he had much to offer * Allies of David say he wants to comeback to frontline politics and would 'definitely' be interested in returning as foreign secretary. There is political logic to it too - Burnham wants to be a domestic-focused prime minister, meaning he needs a heavyweight foreign secretary * One source who knows both brothers said we could end up with the ultimate irony - David thwarting Ed in his ambition to become the chancellor if Burnham chooses him as foreign secretary' * “Ed would welcome him back — provided it doesn’t impact on what Ed wants to do,” they said. “If it did then that would be a different matter altogether. You can see a world where Burnham has to choose between Ed and David and he chooses David and suddenly he’s not a fan of it any more.” * One former cabinet minister who served alongside both men in cabinet said: “It would be nice to see David back in cabinet, but can you really have both Milibands? Neither are loved by the public and both are pretty high-handed towards colleagues. It seems odd.”

The latest episode of The State of It with Patrick Maguire * Andy Burnham said to have been taken aback by overt pitches from ministers for jobs. People are being very direct. He is giving nothing away - this is his point of maximum power and he knows it * Burnham remains genuinely undecided about what he will do. It's fuelling paranoia. Ed Miliband allies started worrying that Lou Haigh could become his chancellor. Miliband himself does not know his fate * Patrick Maguire on 'Burnham magnanimity syndrome' - at the moment everyone is rowing in behind him. But there are only so many jobs to go round. There will be lots of losers. Keeping this coalition of MPs happy is going to be hugely challenging * 'One day soon this period of maximum leverage and maximum sycophancy will be over and there will be losers from the choices that Burnham makes' * There are concerns about the old boys network from the Brown era dominating once again. Burnham, Purnell, Miliband, Miliband, Balls... Women's PLP watching closely. Brown appointed what was then the youngest cabinet in history, and it means many of them have unfinished business * Allies of Burnham point to the fact he has an almost entirely female team around him - Lou Haigh, Anneliese Midgley, his putative No 10 operation. They say this will be a balanced cabinet on every level * The briefings against David Miliband as foreign secretary have begun - people pointing to strong endorsement of international aid at a time it is being cut to fund defence. Argue it makes him less suited for the role
