 Following the riots in England in August 2011 , Miliband called for a public inquiry into the events , and insisted society had " to avoid simplistic answers " . The call for an inquiry was rejected by David Cameron , prompting Miliband to say he would set up his own . In a BBC Radio 4 interview shortly after the riots , Miliband spoke of an irresponsibility that applied not only to the people involved in the riots , but " wherever we find it in our society . We 've seen in the past few years ... MPs ' expenses , what happened in the banks " . Miliband also said Labour did not do enough to tackle moral problems during its 13 years in office . In December 2011 Miliband appointed Tim Livesey , a former adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury , to be his full @-@ time chief of staff .
