    Presumably if there's a crisis in the middle east in 2016 and world energy prices rocket, that's just tough luck? Utilities go bust, I guess, in the brave new world of Milibandenomics.

    And if world energy prices fall...?

    If world energy prices fall, presumably the energy companies will keep the money, and save it for when prices go back up.

    'One good thing about ed's speech,it surely will drive the tories who left for ukip back into the con 2015 vote.'

    Ed was very complimentary at the beginning of his speech about how great it was growing up in the 1980's but couldn't quite manage to mention Margaret Thatcher.

    I have no issue about how Ed delivered his speech it was fine, maybe better than fine. My issue is what he set out. Anyone who wants to limit the right to private property, effectively end investment in the energy market and then expects to appeal to a wide spectrum of the electorate is deluded. My guess this will be a true marmite speech.

    I've never joined a party before but gave £25 to the Tories about a month ago as I was worried about EdM getting into power - if I hadn't been scared then, I'd have joined this afternoon after that speech.

    WTF? I'm appalled.

    Markets have been moved by Ed Miliband's pledge to ban energy price increases for 20 months if is elected. But the changes are minute.

    If a Prime Minister were to make this claim in office we'd expect a much harsher drop. So either Miliband's promise isn't seen as credible or his chances aren't that strong.

    They'll either whack the prices up in 2014, don't believe Mr Miliband will win or will challenge it in court (And think they'll win). One of the three. Probably two out of three.
    "don't believe Mr Miliband will win or will challenge it in court (And think they'll win).

    That's OK . Ed would have won by then and Dan Hodges will have written his article about why is Ed being PM is bad for Ed.

    And if you believe that you'll believe anything.
