Been listening to Ed Miliband this morning on Radio 5 - he made a lot of fuss about how Gordon has been listening, how they've admitted their mistakes and how voters aren't interested in celebrity leaders but will trust Gordon's honesty and experience to see us through.
I'm not asure where Ed's been for the last decade or so but Brown has never listened to anyone and the only time he's admitted mistakes is when he's been forced to. Milliband cited the 10p fiasco as some siort of example of their honesty and humility but as soon as it was announced the Lib Dems made the point that there'd be serious losers amongst vulnerable groups and from that time until they were forced into a U turn Brown and his cohorts denied there was anything wrong.
Miliband banged on about honesty and clearly thinks we should all be grateful for how well Brown's got us out of this mess. Odd how he refused to acknowledge the huge amount of government debt which is a direct result of Brown's ineptitude and which we taxpyers are going to be paying for for decades. He clearly doesn't thinks this matters at all!
As for Brown's economic experience - wasn't it on his watch that this financial bubble was being rapdily inflated? Why trust him to get us out of a problem he stood by and allowed to happen?
Anyway, it's all OK because according to Ed Miliband the entire Cabinet are fully supportive of Gordon. Yet more honesty from the party which invented spin....
