I thought that was good. Very Darling – steady as she goes, no fireworks, no crazy surprises (except the Belize wheeze), no huge pre-election give-aways. And all the better for all this. That’s the thing about Darling, he doesn’t really do flashy, but he does do right, and slowly and steadily he’s steered his way through this crisis magnificently.

The green investment fund is great – and the Lib Dems deserve some credit for pushing on this (see Mark I can give credit when it’s due!). The Stamp Duty policy has the double bonus of being both good policy and good politics.

Cameron’s response was very lite on substance, but he did have some good lines that will resonate (I thought the “no question…” line was his best).
