IF there's one word I'd willingly apply to both Ed Miliband and Ed Balls - and in many respects Nick Clegg and David Cameron as well it would be 'Whoa!'

Messrs Milliband and Balls when in government emasculated and destroyed the Jobclub system from 2001 to 2010. Like the trade unions, the Labour Party has collectively and directly disliked the Jobclubs. So I've no reason to thank either Milliband or Balls.

I've got little faith and almost no trust in politics and I've no trust or faith in the politicians and I've known that they don't truly listen and fail to hear. Two 'Eds' are not therefore better than one! And neither were the other two - Nick Clegg and David Cameron who have gone too far with too many cuts.
