To be fair, most people in Labour’s ranks are now grudgingly starting to acknowledge that fact, which is a positive. As with alcoholism, the first important step to being a supporter of Ed Miliband’s Labour party is to recognise that you’ve got a problem.

While Milliband is a disaster it's hard to see who else they have of any quality waiting in the wings.
Just reminds me of the Tories around 2000.

Quite right, Pattaya.

Of course their little "problem" today (telling porkies in a desperate attempt to side with their ever more illiterate and unintelligent supporters) shows just how desperate they are to make an impact - ANY impact !

One of the biggest problems of course was Silliband's decision to keep Balls-Up (who contributed to the economic downfall). They have had no credibility whatsoever ever since.

Labour’s case against the government has been clear: excessive Tory cuts killed off the flickering recovery of 2010 with the deficit rising as growth flatlines.

It is hard to disagree with the economics. But there’s a political problem -

More and more of the public back the cuts.

It's left Labour looking completely out of touch and a disaster just waiting to happen (AGAIN !)

Just like B-Liar (and all the other university set within the loonies) you are a closet Tory !

A growing proportion of the public believe David Cameron and George Osborne are more capable of managing the economy than their Labour rivals, according to the latest ICM poll for the Guardian.

The proportion of people prepared to back the Tory team for economic competence has soared to 40% from 28% in June. The findings will make grim post-holiday reading for the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who along with shadow chancellor Ed Balls has seen a much smaller rise in credibility, with 24% of the public preferring them compared with 19% two months ago.

Silliband's poll rating SLUMPS AGAIN !

Ed Miliband was rocked on the eve of the crucial party conference season today by an exclusive poll showing Labour’s lead crashing to just three points.

Ipsos MORI’s dramatic research reveals Labour has slipped three points from 40 per cent to 37 per cent since August, while David Cameron’s Conservatives are up four to 34 per cent.

For the first time since he became leader, over half of Labour supporters (52 per cent) are dissatisfied with the way he is doing his job, compared with 40 per cent who are satisfied.

The split compares badly with the Prime Minister’s solid rating among Conservative supporters of 71 per cent satisfied to 23 per cent dissatisfied.

It the worst rating for any Opposition leader by their own supporters since autumn 2003 when Iain Duncan Smith was ousted by the Tories as their leader.

Oh, dear ... things go from bad to worse for the Silliband !

Jeremy Clarkson has "hinted" that he may stand as an Independent at Doncaster North (where he is from originally) - Silliband's own seat !

Silliband only has a 10,000 majority ... so who knows?
