? But there's a touch of David Miliband in this speech. When the Guardian published the full text of the speech that David would have given at last year's conference if he had won the Labour leadership, we found that he was planning to call for "a moral economy built on moral markets". That's exactly what this speech was about. Embarrassingly, though, "moral economy built on moral markets" is a better soundbite than any in Ed's speech.? Portraying himself as an insider/outsider was astute. It was a way of making a link between the personal and the political. Astute, but also questionable. Ed Miliband was brought up in the heart of the Labour establishment. Arguably he is more of an insider than Gordon Brown,

Brendan Barber, the TUC's general secretary, said: "Today's hint that the chancellor won't honour the commitment to uprate pensions and benefits in line with this month's inflation figures is very alarming.

willworkforoil asked her: Given your recent, err ... eccentric Twitter comments regarding the cost of policing (the ones where you bemoaned the cost of police equipment used to subdue a dog which severely injured three police officers) do you intend to implement this as policy: putting cost before the lives and wellbeing of London's police officers?They are, after all, voters and people too. Many of them will have been quite disturbed by your Twitter comments. To many it will seem that your interest in their wellbeing is somewhat minimal.Of course the police are an easy target for bashing and doing so is cheap and easy publicity for a politician such as yourself. How can London's police officers have confidence that your leadership will not further erode their ability to protect London?

Palestinians are born to parkour: they are masters of creatively getting from Point A to Point B,due to the plethora of obstacles Israel puts in their way on any given Sunday. I have often said Palestinians possess an inner Spider-Man and these kids in Qalqilya literally jumping over walls prove that my theory is right.
