SIR – With both Labour leader Ed Miliband and the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls (pictured) now apparently in tacit agreement with Government policy on public sector job losses, wage freeze and a lot more besides, just what credibility or viable ‘opposition’ policy has that party got left?

This is the burning question for the unions who by their block votes and multi-million pound donations to Labour Party funds believed they had not only ‘bought’ the leadership, but were also calling all the shots on policy.

However, this is not Labour’s only problem, as leading bookmakers are giving spectacular odds as short as seven-to-four on who will lead the Labour Party into the 2015 General Election.

Will it be someone like America’s Obama or Labour’s version of Iron Lady Thatcher? I wouldn’t like to say, but there is rumoured to be more than one female MP right here in West Yorkshire with that kind of ambition.

But Ed Miliband’s worst nightmare must be the latest public endorsement from ‘Lord’ Neil Kinnock – Labour’s greatest failure since 1945 – as support from that direction must be the kiss of death for anybody.
