It seems the knives are out for Ed Miliband, mainly from the Tory press but also from elements within his own party. He has never been forgiven in some quarters for defeating his brother David in the Labour leadership contest and it seems his face does not fit with many, in fact some people seem more obsessed by the way he looks than what he actually says! this is the mad media driven world we now live in.
The Labour leader now seems to feel the need to comment on every issue concerning Government policy when the usual party in opposition tactic is just to shake ones head at question time, the two Eds got themselves in a right pickle when declaring they could not promise to reverse any of the cuts the tories were making but why did they feel the need to comment on this matter in the first place? It just brought them derision from not only the unions but the Tory press and left wing labour MP's alike. Miliband did eventually focus on the rising unemployment figures this week but Cameron seems always to have an answer for anything Ed throws at him during question time in the House of Commons
David Cameron is on a bit of a roll at the moment, he looks to have been proved spot on in his decision to tell Merkel and Sarkozy to do one and the right wing press have been all over him like a cheap suit recently. The Teresa May border control cock up has been long forgotten and George Osborne and Ian Duncan Smith are quietly going about the business of raising unemployment and then paying them less for the privilege while the British public are too busy tightening their own belts to really notice, at least the unemployed have got wonga.com to fall back on.
