I wondered how long it would be before this came up on here. It'll be no surprise that I agree with every word quoted in the OP.
As Tory MP Zac Goldsmith has pointed out yesterday the Mail is the paper that published the headline 'Hurrrah for the Blackshirts' and supported appeasement right up to the appointment of Churchill as PM.
Rather good pic elesewhere on the net with Ralph Miliband in uniform on one side and Harmsworth/Rothermere with Hitler on the other. Caption reads 'Who did more to defeat Fascism'?
One other point. There's a distinction between political revolutionary 'Marxism' as hi-jacked by Lenin, Stalin etc and an academic sociologist or historian who sees the world in the Marxist paradigm of the struggle between Capital and Labour. Professor Miliband was of the latter group.
