Why so mealy-mouthed?

Labour's failure to back free school grub baffles me

- KEIR MUDIE

For the past three weeks, in that little box above here, I've been banging on about the Labour Party flip-flopping.

Last week it was the House of Lords, before that something else - green investment or something.

I forget. It is very difficult to keep track these days. Dizzying, almost.

You could, genuinely, do one a week. Income tax, free movement, tuition fees. Take your pick.

It's terrible to say but I think we're all getting used to it now.

I don't think it makes much of a difference to their election chances.

They are still probable rather than possible, but it is incredibly hard to vote for a set of people when you know what they're against but not what they're for.

So, yes, I'd got kind of used to them changing tack. But this week they really have played a blinder.
