I for one hope he has a long an illustrious career as leader of the opposition.

Skint years RIP
Just another career politician who has done diddly squat in the real world and frankly shouldn't be trusted with something as important as the nation's finances. That applies to all these spads across the parties.

something clever
He apparently forgot to mention both the deficit and immigration. Crazy really.
Can't think of a worse party leader in the last 30 years.

not really think hard enough are you. though he is poor, i was surprised to learn he's beating even Clegg in least liked leader polls.
the bizarre thing is the polls still show a Labour minority win next spring, its will be odd to have such an unpopular/untrusted leader in power through accident of a internal party fit up several years ago.

I think though that polls are misleading here. I think labour will really struggle to get their vote out and while people will say they will vote labour in opinion polls they won't actually do it on the day. That could be crucial in marginals.

Not suprised about Clegg, but more a reflection on the party than the leader I think.

Like your post,and with tongue in cheek why did he not so say i can afford to live in Primrose Hill ? We both know the answer.
Both he and Labour are dead in the water. Three reasons that they will not even get close at the general election.
1. The mess they created having been given the best legacy of any government for a very long time.
2. Ed Miliband. Just the wrong charisma, unelectable.
3. The 'money is all gone' note.
It will be another 10 years before they get a sniff of a majority Labour government, thankfully I will be living elsewhere by then.

I'm naturally a Labour supporter but Ed Milliband is wrong for the party.
Whoever co-wrote the dull as dishwater speech today needs shooting.
Still having said that, the Tory Boys are facing defeat after a disastrous term helping their multi millionaire chums whilst taking £10+ per week out of vulnerable peoples pockets for the bedroom tax amongst other despicable policies designed to hurt the poor and help the rich.

It is never going to change unless the two party strength is broken. I would like to see a real coalition with cabinet posts selected on merit and the prime minister selected by the elected MPs. But not in my lifetime. The party system is so destructive. All politicians are more interested in scoring points against the other side than actually being constructive.

For an opposition, they will flop dismally at the next election, because:
The smug, amateurish and bullying Ed Balls will never shake off his mismanagement (in team Brown) of the borrowing boom that made the crash worse than it could have been.
Milliband, bless, just isn't good at the people, speech, TV thing. Most people would be the same, but they're not aiming to win a country's hearts and heads in an election. Until belatedly now, too late, he's spent 4 years being the merchant of doom with no policy ideas.
A political stunt by the Tories, but an effective one: the inequity of Scottish MPs voting on matters SOLELY affecting England or England & Wales. If that rankles with a sizeable number of undecided voters, that could be devastating.
To his dismay, the economic recovery did happen, under policies he vilified. He stated that the coalition's plan would fail. That a 'borrow even more, to spend, plan' was the only way to get the economy going. He was wrong and the silence is deafening.

"It’s worth bitterly remembering that in his mullet-punching, croquet-playing, chipolata-presenting pomp, when he was being yanked onstage as Blair’s working-class credibility gimp, Prescott was the one who championed PFI and put public sector procurement on tick for the next half-century, at payback rates that would shame Wonga"
"All this rousing stuff is applauded, but then so is the silky batter of Ed Balls’ austerity pancake mix."
