"From yesterday to be honest… there's nothing I'm saying to you from yesterday I would reverse," he said.

He confined himself to griping about details and tinkering at the margins. Just about the only unique policy that gained any traction - and that by no means generally positive - was Miliband's ill thought-out "Mansion Tax."
