SIR – It is annoying that every time the present Government puts up proposals, we hear someone from Labour contradicting them, saying: “They are not fair, will not work and are no good.”

If Labour knew what was good, what would work and what wouldn’t, our country would not be in such a financial mess as it is at the moment, after years of Labour Party governance.

Is this why Ed Miliband and his front bench opposition team have no policies or viable solutions to offer as their alternative plan?

The rejected New Labour government proved conclusively it was not fit to continue running the country, and in opposition the Labour team is clearly demonstrating it is not capable of returning to that responsibility.
