Ed Miliband’s pledges

[minestrone]

This may be our next PM.

A strong economic foundation
Higher living standards for working families
An NHS with the time to care
Controls on immigration
A country where the next generation can do better than the last

Our current Prime Minister's pre-election pledges:

1. No cuts to front-line services
2. "We have absolutely no plans to raise VAT"
3. Cameron on child benefit: "I wouldn't means-test it"
4. NHS: "no more top-down reorganisations"
5. On Education Maintenance Allowances: "we don't have any plans to get rid of them"

Not much to choose from really. A pair of ******* trying to court mass appeal with soundbytes.

Except that one has no interest in business, comes from a party that has in the last two times it has been in power bankrupted the country as opposed to the other that has reinvigorated the economy on both of the last two occasions it has come into power.

I would say there is quite a lot of difference between them.

This may be our next PM.

A strong economic foundation - now that the Tories have fixed it
Higher living standards for working families - now that real-term incomes are starting to rise under the Tories
An NHS with the time to care - now that the Tories have re-org'ed and invested in the NHS
Controls on immigration - now that the Tories have implemented some controls
A country where the next generation can do better than the last - thanks largely to Tory polices (see above)

^ added some words he might have forgotten to mention.

No "no ifs, buts" this time.

You can remember back that far: Conservatives wipe all pre-election pledges from their website - Telegraph

How is he going to do that, is he going to make the entire Labour party emigrate ?

Kitchen sink drama for Miliband as homely photo backfires | Politics | The Guardian

Nice pic of Ed in his "second" kitchen. Was too embarrassed to show the main one.

Houses in Dartmouth Park, London N19 go for about £2 million nowadays.
