Grant Shapps writes: so now it's official, Labour hasn't changed

Ed Miliband has finally admitted what we knew all along: that nothing has changed. This is the same old Labour.
In his hour-long speech yesterday, he set out NO plans to cut the deficit, NO plans to secure the recovery and NO plans to fix the welfare system.
Instead, he called for a damaging tax rise on businesses that would cost jobs and confirmed that Labour would spend more and borrow more.
His unworkable energy policy is also unravelling. He’s been forced to admit that energy companies could appeal to the Government to overturn the freeze - and had no answer when asked what would happen if prices were put up before a freeze.
The way to help hardworking people is to force energy companies to put customers on their cheapest tariffs – which is what we’re doing. The way to raise living standards is to grow the economy and keep spending and borrowing under control – which is what we’re doing.
Labour still want more spending, more borrowing and more debt – exactly what got us into a mess in the first place. And it’s hardworking people who would pay the price through higher taxes, higher mortgage rates and higher bills.
