Morning Line: Ed Miliband - hey punk, you are red

David Cameron speaks with conviction of fairness and is highly-principled and honest. More than a match for the punk.

I am having problems concentrating on what he says because he looks so much like Wallace. Did anyone else notice this Grommet-esque side to him?

This is great news for the country as well as he will never win for Labour. Red Ed will take them back to the seventies

Cameron will chew him up and spit him out with ease. People have long memories and one speech won't absolve Labour from leaving the country potless.

"But at least his attack on David Cameron for lacking a genuinely positive vision or plan for growth shows he knows where the weak spots are in the coalition"

This sounds like a commendation based on your own political standing. You are agreeing then that Cameron does not have a vision and plan for growth?

"Having done in brother David"

Very eloquently put

"Tory toff 'Dave"

"Socialist Stone"

"Socialist Stone"

Sorry, I misread the author - I meant to have said "Labour Lumsden" !!

Another leader with a personality seriously lacking - I can't believe anything he says. Please sir it wasn't me, it was him, I wasn't around then, let me make my own screw ups please, oh please.........

Why does Ed splash when he talks? Surely it is possible to have some kind of operation to cure this which seems to me to be quite an important impediment for a politician to overcome.

"Why does Ed splash when he talks?"

.......and you thought that was saliva?

You get the leaders you deserve.

nah! not my province.

fatcat is right and wrong:

wrong that Ed is good for the country but right that Ed had made labour unelectable for all his generation.

The man and party that profess to be the guardians of the poor and fairness have condemned the underclass to the gutter giving the Libs and the Cons the licence to carry on regardless for years to come.

Condemned to the opositon, all that the New-Old labour barons can continue to do is crow loud at a time that nobody in the country has the time nor the inclination to take them seriously.

Dazed by the sunlight of power, all what the Labour grass roots want is to remain buried in opposition with freedom to wave the red flag unhinderred.

George,

Don't confuse the underclass with the working class.

The underclass are already in the gutter and Labour have only succeeded in increasing the population by their mistaken support schemes which have only served to encourage indolence etc. The other serious problem is that Labour took away the ladders which were in place to to allow the working class to realise their aspirations. Repressive measures like the minimum wage backfired and kept many working class jobs low paid, Student fees wasted on high cost student accommodation and poor degrees have distorted upward mobility and, as always, the grammar/public school educated Labour leaders have now completely wrecked the State education system so most of the working class kids don't even have the tools to make their way in the world.

The only Blairism that was right, but not delivered, was 'Education, Education,Education', Unfortunately, Cable and Willetts are not the answer so God knows where we are going to end up.

if you think the tories will look after you lot , you need to think again. the privileged millionaires will boot you in the balls you will need a wheelbarrow to carry them.

Not New Labour

Not Old Labour

Millabour

Condemming the record of his own dreadful party and all those in it including his own dear Brother is not what he should be saying. Economic Treason is a collective charge which springs to mind, olus Illegal Warfare, and down right lies to Parliament and the populace. He claims to believe in parenthood,but his personal arrangements are somewhat out of the norm. The whole thing about the Millibands makes me shudder. This one Ed The Red is definitely peculiar It leaves me aghast to watch the turncoat sychophants cheering and clapping. God help Britain if they get anywhere near power. It is still full of conmen to the gunnels.

The Labour Party has indulged itself for four months since they were kicked out with a contest of the nobodies. As with Blair, Brown, Mandelweed et al, they were all lightweights and I just hope, having picked another dud, they will quietly descend into oblivion. Our country deserves far better than anything Labour can offer

They messed up the economy by 1979, then they squandered the economic advantages hard won by the country under Thatcher when allowed back in 1979. It took them just 13 miserable years to louse it up again and leave future generations with massive bills. Every Labout government has left with unemployment higher than when they came into office

And that's not to mention betrayal to the EU and the disaster of uncontrolled immigration

How many times can a nation put its hand into the fire?

How can apparently devout followers of Blair become devout followers of Brown become devout followers of Miliband E?? Funny lot really..............

Did I read/hear it right? Ed wants to tax the Middle Classes more! I thought the Bank of England wants us to spend more in order to assist recovery. How does paying more in Tax encourage the Middle Classes to spend more?

Was it me that would get a 'D' in Economics or Ed?

Ed wouldn't turn up for the class. Socialists don't do economics. He would be hanging around the union offices tabling a motion on Palestine.

Are you guys serious? Of course you are . A set of A holes, hanging on to a Tory goiv't who won't tax you or meddle in your tax avoidingaffairs. There's nothing wrong with being socialist OR left of centre. Like the guy last week, I think citywire has long since lost the plot as a serious commentator on ANYTHING. I'm off guys, don't bother responding; just remember when we get you lot up against the wall, I'll be one of the guys looking down the sights

I find the heading of this article offensive and that this site seems like some sycophantic shrine to the Tory party and "chinless wonder" David Cameron "yar".

If you bothered listening to David Milliband you might learn something about how to solve the deficit without decimating public services and hitting the people least able to afford the mess that your banker friends have put us in. More than the financial economics Ed Milliband represents a party that cares about people along with justice and integrity. Something I don’t think many if any Tory's understand. Well done Ed.The Lib dems are finished as a political party and I foresee Cameron being a one term wonder. Let’s hope so for the sake of every fair minded person with a conscience and a sense of decenecy in this country

Well said Ben.Tories are the nasty party and always will be.

The nasty party who again will get you out of the Crap you lot have left. What planet do you live on??? Bugger off to live in Russia and leave the Tories to fix the mess. Bunch of morons.

Typical socialists. One is nasty for not agreeing with them and one arsehole was even looking forward to shooting Tories. "for being nasty" before requesting that no-one one reply to him. Petulance is their prerogative it seems.

...and who got us into this mess.... people spending money they didnt have....another socialist prerogative.

Typical socialist? You wouldn't recognise one if he bought you a beer! Remwber it was the Tory tax avoiding bankers who got us not this mess !

Hey fat cat and the other tory moron.Do you really think Mr Cameron and the rest of his right wing, "silver spoon in their mouths" Eton school boy chums give a toss about you.Your only in power because 40 Lib demns sold out all their beliefs and promises for a taste of power.More people voted for Labour and the Libdems all together than they did for the Tories at the last election and thats a fact.

Its typical of you lot to resort to being abusive instead of rational debate.Nice people, nice party.

That should read - into this mess - just so you know I can do grammar

More people voted Tory than they did Labour and also Tory and Lib-Dem than they did Labour.

Those are Facts!

A socialist is only likely to buy someone a beer with someone elses money.

Thank god alan gent and Anon 1 are not in power-it is just typical of the right on leftie approach that has killed off the drive and passion in UK PLC. I bet these idiots have never built,created, or contributed to anything which god forbid makes money which in turn will pay the taxes to pay their civil service pensions.

What utter tosh these horses arses spout. Thank god they are at bay for now so we can clear up the crap .

Actually I work with 650 people and we contribute in full to the uk tax regime both as indviduals and as a company. We are comfortable with all this I suspect the correct (polite) answer is that maybe you should go off and ( attempt to ) have sex with yourself ?

thought so -call centre worker. Hit a nerve have I? You are exactly why we need David Cameron more than ever.. Must dash-phone ringing--Oh can you get that Alan?

Tut Tut, First he wants to shoot you and now he wants you to have sex with yourself. Does this sound "nice"?

I expect nothing less from his ilk. He will carry on waving his up the workers banner then disappear up his own arse-in the meantime I will carry on working my 12 hour days growing my company (soon to be FTSE 350) But what do I know?Just glad I am not as clever as bright Alan.

Don't stop chaps..... my sides are splitting!

Oh dear me little boys on both sides here throwing their dummies out of the pram, such a shame they never grew up.

Where did this weirdo spring from?

He said it :family first, personal ambition next,constituents next.party next and oh yes the COUNTRY last. Needs to address his loyalties.
