The British people have already been asked for everything necessary to deliver stability. Today's Budget will not ask for more. It will be fiscally neutral.Britain, because of the fiscal correction announced, has lower interest rates than in less indebted nations and it means the nation has the monetary conditions to underpin growth.
Growth must be spread across whole of UK. Yes, the City of London is important but we must ensure that high end manufacturing, green technologies, creative industries and life sciences ensure that prosperity is spread across UK.
It has to be the worst budget response that I have ever seen - nothing about the actual budget that we just heard and everything about the same old Labour party attacks on last years budget when this government actually had the nerve to sort out the mess that Labour left behind.
Ed spent more time attacking the budgets from the 90s instead of responding to this years budget. There were no new ideas from Labour or asking why the government was not implementing Labour policy proposals - they obviously don't have any.
Eds whole rebuttal was a pre-scripted rant. Ed kept on looking down to read his script instead of reacting to the budget. People want to know what Labour would do and instead we get Ed ranting about Osbornes winter holiday.
Red Ed living up to his name. Why was he so angry? Nick Clegg actually tried to get him to calm down during his speech. Maybe the anger is because he had nothing to say about the budget itself?
Ed has lost the PR battle - all the post budget talk is about specifics about Osbornes proposals and nothing is about Labours criticism of the budget.
I have to agree with Nonny Mouse. Ed Miliband's speech was truly content-free. When in opposition, Cameron's best speech of the year was always his Budget response, where he ripped into the substance and content (including unannounced content hidden in the Red Book) of the Budget. Miliband read out a script written by a scriptwriter. One has to wonder what contribution he actually made as Brown's bag carrier, because he certainly made no contribution to the Budget debate!
When Cameron and Osborne were in opposition you would have seen Osbourne working his way through the details of the budget, giving prompts about what to say to Cameron.
