Accidental Labour leader Ed Miliband, that's him in the shadow of brother David, has been preaching to the Socialist Worker readers of Oldham East in the first by-election campaign of the new Parliament.
Young Ed, displaying blissful ignorance of his Party's recent economic recklessness, focused on the tough decisions that the incumbent Government are currently taking to narrow the deficit.
One of their first decisions, to raise VAT to 20%, kicks in tomorrow. The VAT increase, according to young Ed, is likely to cost the average family an extra £400 per year.
Asked how he would tackle Britain's gigantic national debt, half of which is down to his lot, the Labour leader can't provide an answer.
Also on the Labour campaign trail a guest appearance by none other than Osama bin Laden.
