Miliband gets nose job to end snoring
By politics.co.uk staff
Ed Miliband has had an operation on his nose to cure his snoring, his office reported today.
The operation was to cure the sleep disorder apnoea, which is caused by a lack of muscle tone in the upper airway during sleep.
It took an hour and was performed at the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital in London on the NHS.
Conservative HQ was quick to offer the Labour leader its best wishes, tweeting their "best wishes for a speedy recovery".
Mr Miliband was previously forced to deny he was having the operation to make his voice sound more attractive to voters.
Asked if the operation would change his voice on BBC Radio 4 he said: "I hope not. I'm having this done for medical reasons, because I suffer from sleep apnoea."
He added: "Once this was announced, I discovered that a lot of other people seem to suffer from the same condition, who have come up to me with sympathy – and indeed sympathy for my partner."
