David Cameron will be relieved that this week saw his last grilling by MPs before the summer break. He has certainly got a lot to answer for.
In six months of shambolic government, with U turn after U turn under pressure from Labour, on petrol, pasties, caravans, churches and charities, his failed economic policies have given us a double-dip recession made in Downing Street, long-term unemployment at a 17 year high and borrowing that is higher than planned.
Thanks to George Osborne's out touch budget, we got a tax cut for millionaires - and an unfair ‘granny tax’ which means older people are unfairly hit. But David Cameron and Nick Clegg like to tell us the budget was just what the country needed.
The Tories have promised change but have failed to deliver, and David Cameron is fast losing the confidence of the country. So before he jets off for his summer break, leaving the country's problems far behind, Ed Miliband called on him to make three more U turns to get this country back on track, namely:
• Reverse the failed Tory economic policies and urgently put in place Labour's plan for jobs and growth, including a tax on bankers’ bonuses to fund youth jobs.
• Reverse the tax cut for millionaires so that in tough times the richest pay their fair share.
• Reverse the ‘granny tax’ so that pensioners aren’t unfairly hit.
