    All talk about the workers, and not much talk about the unemployed, except for the policy of enforced labour for the young and long term unemployed.

    Equal Rights for the self-employed? What does that actually mean? Would you be forced to pay yourself the NMW, forced to pay into a pension, forced to comply with the working time directive?

    Good grief, he visits Colin in hospital and Colin dies soon after. What sort of point is he making?

    Just tuned back in to see him say something along the lines of businesses only receiving government contracts if they take on apprentices. Did I hear that right?

    Every business? What even the sandwich makers and toilet cleaners?

    Wtf is Ed defining as an apprenticeship these days? 2 minutes "training" with a butterknifeor a mop?

    Hmm, the blonde on the right is a right MILF. The camera makes sure she's in shot, even pushing ED slightly to an off centre shot!!!!

    They should play the game that frequented many of my school assemblies and attempt to be the last person clapping.

    It will suit the big service providers and make it even harder for smaller companies to bid for government contracts.

    Caroline Flint tried to get out of a question on the Mansion Tax by saying that Ed will mention it in his speech. Well that was it, and he didn't mention anything specific.

    A point that will be hammered home relentlessly by the Tories.

    No pity from me, they get what they deserve they elected the clown as leader.

    I think this is a very good speech.

    He's impressing me. I think he's grown into the leadership role.

    Looking like a real PM.

    He's talking utter crap about Europe now. Is Ed suggesting he can achieve a 28-0 victory on European reform?

    Dream on you plank
