Tim Farron writes… Are two Eds better than one?

• [Jan 18] Tim Farron writes: ARE 2 Eds better than one? I'm not sure - but the two Eds said something very interesting over the weekend: apparently they don't have a 'Plan B' for the economy after all!
As I drove into the village of Haverthwaite . . Ed Balls popped up. I listened with amazement. In his interview he admitted not only that the programme of cuts being carried out by the Coalition government were right, but that Labour would not over turn them if they were in Government . . In addition, Nick Clegg deserves an apology. Nick has been berated and abused by the Labour leadership over the last 18 months for having the guts to stand up and work as part of the Coalition in the best interest of the country. Now Labour have admitted that their attacks were inaccurate - but there's no hint of apology. They have gone from being in the wrong place, to all over the place.
Anyhow, after Mr Balls had stopped not-quite-apologising on the radio last Saturday, I . . spent 3 hours knocking on doors. The response I got, by the way, was fantastic. It struck me that just as Labour was making its U turn, the Lib Dems may have just turned the corner…
So don't hold your breath waiting for an apology from Labour - but rest assured you are most definitely owed one!
