*Nod* I think they need to finish their slow reinvention before they get to say anything without being laughed out of the house. Ed probably went about as far as he could saying (was it on Newsnight? I think it was) that they had been wrong to be so famously 'intensely relaxed' about the super-rich. It's a small comfort, but it's there. Fingers crossed, eh?

True, true, though for every step forward Ed seems to make, there is another step backwards somewhere else. I wonder if he's fighting his own party on it.
