One year on

Peter Hoskin 10:48am

Coffee House will be live-blogging Alistair Darling's PBR statement from 1230 on.  In the meantime, here's a brief video reminder of George Osborne's PBR response from last year – probably the Shadow Chancellor's finest moment at the Dispatch Box.  You imagine his address today will be similar in tone, at least:

Good to see how many of the gurning trumpets on the government front bench in this clip have gone in the past 12 months.

What struck me, given Broon's recent "Eton" jibes, was the make-up of the Labour front bench. Please correct me if I am wrong, Pete, but Balls, Purnell, Broon, Darling and Harman are all top hat wearing public school types.

I don't object to this on the Tory side. After all, the Tory Party is the Tory Party (or at least it's supposed to be)...but the Labour front bench? They're in no position to throw the stones of Class War at anybody...
