Raising the stakes (or a predictable Tory comeback)

So Miliband does something brave and makes a claim that got people excited. Energy freezes might be economically messy and environmentally disastrous but at least Labour were doing something slightly left wing again by offering a popularist policy.

The Conservative response being to assume that he is consciously lying and try to top it with a more outrageous economic lie. A budget surplus without raising taxes? Austerity is demonstrably not bringing prosperity while causing damage to our social policies and infrastructure that could take decades to heal. Forget about pie in the sky, Osborne, and give us economic stimulus, real growth and jobs instead.
