33. Sore Balls in a squeeze | Left Watch | ConservativeHome

The Independent headlines its interview with Ed Balls today: "Lib Dems should leave the Coalition and join us". This is the best news angle that can be found from it, though the Shadow Chancellor is scarcely likely to have said: "So you're asking what I'd do if the Lib Dems quit government, betrayed Cameron, voted with us and offered to help make me Shadow Chancellor? It's obvious, isn't it: I'd tell them to get lost!" However, he is careful to make the obligatory reference to Nick Clegg having to go in any such circumstances. I think Balls's response is a means of spinning himself as more coalition-friendly - and less tribal - than his critics assert without conceding nothing of substance: if he'd said he was open to coalition after the next election that would indeed have been news.

34. Ed Miliband's welfare plan shows he's not ready for high office - Telegraph

The Labour Party leader's ideas for tackling youth unemployment are tough, assertive – and utterly misguided.A penny appears to be dropping over the head of Ed Miliband. He has been thinking about poverty, and why there’s so much of it given that the last government lavished so many billions of pounds on the problem. He has also been thinking about the election, and why David Cameron’s tough-love approach to benefits is so wildly popular. And he has reached a conclusion: that the Conservatives are actually talking some sense about the need to rewire the welfare state, so it’s about time that Labour tried to do the same.

35. Ed Balls heckled by union members for backing public sector pay freeze - Telegraph

Ed Balls was heckled and jeered by angry union activists after saying he supported the freeze on public sector workers' pay.Labour's Shadow Chancellor insisted that pay rises for millions of school staff, council workers and other state employees must take second place to protecting their jobs.He sought to pin the blame for unemployment among public service workers and the need to limit wage bills on George Osborne's "failed" economic policies.However, during rowdy exchanges at the TUC conference in Brighton, union delegates shouted "shame on you" and "off" at the former Cabinet minister.

36. Ed Balls treats the TUC like simpletons – Telegraph Blogs

Ed Balls has never been a reticent fellow but even by his standards of bare-faced cheek his speech to the TUC this morning will take some beating.

37. Less than 1 in 4 trusts Ed Miliband on economy after lacklustre Budget response | Mail Online

Ed Miliband’s economic credibility took another tumble yesterday after his lacklustre response to the Budget.A new survey found that fewer than one in four voters say they trust the Labour leader to run the economy.Mr Miliband’s support has dropped 10 points since January to 23 per cent while 21 per cent said the Budget had reduced their trust in his ability to manage the economy. Mr Miliband polls even worse than his party with 31 per cent of voters backing Labour to run UK Plc.The data came amid growing disquiet among Labour MPs that Mr Miliband and shadow Chancellor Ed Balls have now botched their response to the Budget and George Osborne’s Autumn Statement last December.

39. Ed Balls: Fool or Charlatan? | Roger Helmer MEP

Ed Balls is trying to get his rebuttal in first. Believing that George Osborne, in his Wednesday budget, will reduce the 50% income tax rate (either a principled move back to 40%, or perhaps a pusillanimous compromise at 45%), Balls has gone into attack mode. But his attack is not original. Indeed he is deliberately trying to trigger the heffalump trap that his mentor, Gordon Brown, left for an incoming Conservative government.Brown knew that a Conservative government would want to remove the 50% rate, both because the Conservatives (or some of them) are instinctively against high taxes, and because the economic case against this 50% rate is unassailable. As the forthcoming Treasury study will show, the 50% band collects much less tax than anticipated. Much less than a simple “static model” calculation would predict. And the economy being dynamic, not static, the amount collected will diminish over time, simply viewed as a tax band.But because it will also be a disincentive to work, and to effort, and to overtime, and investment, and business start-ups and capital accumulation, and wealth creation, it will have a still more malign effect. It will depress overall economic growth, and thus reduce tax revenue not only from the high-paid, but across the range. Income tax, VAT, corporation tax. Leave it in place for a few years, and we shall all be poorer.

40. Budget 2014: Ed Miliband's wretched, incoherent response showed that he is not ready to be PM - Dan Hodges, Telegraph Blogs

Every Budget begins with a prologue. “This is a Budget for jobs”, “this is a Budget for growth”, etc.This afternoon George Osborne claimed his was a Budget for the “maker, the doer and the saver”. As he said it I half expected the old theme to Record Breakers to strike up in the background.But the Chancellor was wrong. It was not a Budget for the maker. Or the doer. Or the saver.It was the Budget that proved conclusively Ed Miliband is not yet ready to be prime minister of this country.

41. Ed Miliband is a danger to economy, says CBI president Sir Mike Rake | Mail Online

A leading businessman last night launched a thinly-veiled attack on Ed Miliband, warning that an anti-business government would damage the economy and cost jobs.Sir Mike Rake, president of the CBI and chairman of BT, said the economic recovery is ‘increasingly being exposed to political risk’.Although he did not identify the Labour leader by name, he criticised politicians who offer ‘headline-grabbing policies which sometimes appear aimed more at securing votes than encouraging investment and job creation’.He said: ‘Business is increasingly worried about policy interventions such as on energy, banking, tax and land ownership.’

43. How Ed and David Miliband exploited a tax loophole described by Gordon Brown as "tax abuse"

Ed Miliband poses as a man of the people, someone who empathises with the struggles of the poor and who would do anything to alleviate them. Wouldn’t you think then that tax loopholes would be beneath high minded leftie Ed, and that he would die rather than deprive the state of a penny of any tax owed? Especially since his dad Ralph, was a Marxist and don’t they believe that property is theft?Not bloody likely! When life long Marxist Ralph Miliband died, Ed and brother David arranged a deed of variation, legally, exploiting a tax loophole, whereby 40% of Ralph’s valuable Primrose Hill property was transferred to his sons, who each received a 20% share.

45. The week that proved Red Ed is totally out of touch with the British people | Mail Online

During various crises over the past two years, Ed Miliband has been able to rely on the complete loyalty of his party.As one Labour insider said to me recently: ‘Even those of us who originally wanted his brother to be party leader see there’s nothing to be gained by criticising Ed.’Mr Miliband’s position is safe until the next General Election. Indeed, he appears invincible if the opinion polls (which give Labour a 12-point lead) are to be believed. But is he really?His abject and pathetic Commons performance on Wednesday, after David Cameron’s historic promise of an in-out referendum on Europe, should make even his most loyal supporters question his political judgment.

46. Those exciting Labour policies you were waiting for? There aren't any – Telegraph Blogs

Today Paul Daniels is regarded as a rather faded symbol of a rather faded entertainment era. But give him his due, he’d said I’d remember his big reveal for the rest of my life. And he was right.The remainder of this article has absolutely nothing to do with Paul Daniels. Or the lovely Debbie McGee. It’s about the Labour Party.The – admittedly tenuous – link is the concept of the big reveal. For a long time now people have been waiting for Labour’s big reveal. Ed Miliband and Jon Cruddas and Ed Balls and Harriet Harman would one day stand up and go “ta-dah!!!!!” and with a dramatic flourish unveil a raft of exciting and radical policies to amaze and excite us.There is not going to be a big reveal. Sadly, Ed Miliband will not be sawn in half. Jon Cruddas will not emerge dripping but unscathed from a glass water tank. Ed Balls will not remove his mask to reveal the smiling face of the lovely Harriet Harman.

47. Jeremy Hunt MP: Six NHS questions Ed Miliband and Andy Burnham can't answer | ConservativeHome

Labour's health policy is heavy on rhetoric and light on policy detail.On Tuesday, Ed Miliband pledged £2.5 billion extra for the NHS and social care. This is a 2.2 per cent increase – lower than the 4.4 per cent real terms increase this government has already given the NHS. Labour also left many questions unanswered – here are six:

48. Labour's mansion tax plan will kill house sales and trigger £2 billion slump in stamp duty |...

Labour's mansion tax would unfairly penalise the elderly, slow the housing market and trigger a £2billion slump in stamp duty, a damning report reveals.Ed Miliband has claimed the controversial proposal to impose a levy on homes worth over £2million would raise £1.2billion a year, which could pay for thousands of extra doctors, nurses and midwives.But the study shows this is ‘overly optimistic’ and the policy could actually cause a loss in stamp duty receipts of almost £2billion in just six years. This drop could, the report says, be ‘even greater than the proceeds’ of the new mansion tax – rendering it pointless. Despite Labour’s claims that it would be a tax on the rich, academics said the policy did not ‘necessarily target wealth’.
