Reprise on Ed Miliband's Car Crash Interview

The local elections may be over but Ed Miliband is still Leader of the Opposition and thereby a contender to be Prime Minister of our country.

A fact viewed with concern by plenty of people who are not necessarily Conservatives: for example. John Rentoul argued in the Independent here that if Ed Miliband wins the next election

"we have to take seriously the likelihood that his government will be a disaster."

So it is still of intererest that, interviewed by Martha Kearney on BBR Radio four's the World at One programme on Monday, he gave an interview which I previously described as a car crash. At the moment and for another couple of days (until Monday 6th May) you can still listen to the full programme on BBC iPlayer Radio here.

Miliband admitted to Channel Four the following day that this had been "not such a good interview" and readily proffered the admission he had repeatedly refused to give Martha Kearney, that

"a big VAT cut to stimulate the economy would mean borrowing more in the short term."

Quite.
