Alastair Campbell Blog: The review by AC is very positive of the Ed Miliband speech, AC states the following, “ He was at his best today when he was passionate about where those instincts and values lay. ”. This blog was shocked by the above, thus this comment on AC’s blog “ AC come off it, when you were TB’s spin Doctor you would never have allowed him to make that kind of speech, it plays in to the hands of the Conservative Party, they will argue with some justification that it plays to the base as they say in the US. When the BBC put the Shadow Cabinet on the spot when it came to different business that could fall in to the bad business view of EM they didn’t have a clue, its all left wing PR, that even the Guardian is not baying at the moment, also when did the Labour Party disown the poor and those without a job, are those that are out of work NOW have to justify why they have a Council House, if they are poor do they have to justify their benefits to EM, someone who has never go this hands dirty, only to stab his brother in the back. If Tony Blair had even though of giving that kind of speech you would have pulled the TV plug yourself. Also why was Labour booing the only leader who has own three elections, okay Iraq but what about loyalty or was Labour loyalty to Blair only PR. This was a speech for the left wing of the Guardian, not for a future PM. ”

Ed Miliband Speech - Review
Guardian: The left wing Guardian speaks, the article states the following on the Miliband speech “… it still requires a generous leap of faith to conclude that …wary voters that they have got him wrong….”. The article gives Ed Miliband 5/10 for the speech, that’s being very generous, more like 4.5/10 and in need of a lot more work, Ed Miliband needs the presentation skills of Tony Blair. The mistake the Labour Party has made is to assume that Tony Blair was elected because of them, they are WRONG, the Labour Party got in to power because of Tony Blair, once he was gone, the lost the 2010 election. Lets be honest here folks, the Conference might boo the name of Tony Blair, but because Blair was seen as a small c Conservative the Party was allowed back in to power. Once Gordon Brown took over the game was over, the Conservatives might not have won a overall majority in 2010, but the Labour Party had its worse showing since the 1983 election. Also times change, by 2015 the economic polices of the Government might have worked, then Labour will really be finished. If I was Ed Milliband I would not count on being Labour Leader in 2015, if his polls don’t go up the Party will replace him, Labour does not want another 18 years of opposition.
Germany and the Bailouts
Telegraph: Reports on a warning from Germans Constitutional Court that the Coalition Government cant take over the debt of other Countries beyond what German law provides for by EU Treaties. This should be a clear warning to the German Government and to the Markets, that Eurozone Crisis Plan by Germany and France has to face political reality, not just in Germany and France but around the States that make up the Eurozone and those EU States outside the Euro. The Stock Markets of the US and the EU have shot up based on rumours, so far no actual plan has been published and voted on, a military plan does not last beyond first contact with the enemy, thus this German/French might fall when faced with political reality.
Ed Miliband Speech = Labour Party Conference
BBC News: Reports on Ed Miliband's 2nd speech as Labour Party leader, in essence it was call to reward those who do the right thing in business and society. The problem with the speech was it called for you to trust Ed Miliband is knowing who is doing the right thing in business and society, would you trust Mr Miliband after he shafted his own brother, what does that say about his morale compass, he in essence attacked those in business that take risks, without venture capital you don’t have job growth, if they don’t have the money or are taxed more that other business ventures they will go to another Country. It is a global economy, people can move, also it was a odd speech, in way Ed Miliband attacked the poor or those that found themselves jobless, he wants the Government to decide if you’re a good local citizen, and thus should get a house. Lets recall Mr Miliband comes from a elite background, a elite University, a Government special advisor to Gordon Brown, then a MP and then a Minister. Has Ed Miliband ever got his hands dirty, had to worry about food, his family having shelter. The answer is no folks. The only dirty thing Brutus Miliband has done is stab his brother in the back, and throw the Blair/Brown Era under the bus. The speech pandered to the base, Tony Blair would never have given that speech. Lets recall Blair did win three elections, its one more that Ed Miliband will ever win.
