Peter Brookes cartoon

Peter Brookes' cartoon in The Times has the shadow chancellor Ed Balls, cleaning up 'Labour's economic mess' with Ed Miliband clapping enthusiastically in the background.

 Yet if the truth be told, neither politician explained where the Labour Party really stands on the economy or on how best to balance the nation's spending books.

 Save for the recent announcement that an incoming Labour Government would adopt the forward spending plans of the present Coalition Government.  

 How Ed Miliband could fail to tackle this issue 'head on' in his own leader's speech is quite incredible if you ask me, because it goes to the heart of the debate about Labour's attitude towards the policy of pay restraint in the public sector, for example. 

 Up until now Labour has agreed with the Coalition Government on its policy for pay restraint in local councils and the NHS, yet with only months to go to the May 2015 general election Labour it seems has nothing of substance to say.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
