Lucy Powell: Carving our policies in stone doesn’t mean Ed Miliband is ‘absolutely not going to break them’
Lucy Powell appears to have made rather a big gaffe on Radio 5 Live today telling voters that just becuase Ed Miliband has carved his pledges in stone, doesn’t won’t stop him from breaking them.
She says: “The point we are trying to make there is that Ed Miliband, who has been really clear about this throughout the campaign he stands by his pledges and his promises…
She adds: “I don’t think that anyone is suggesting that the fact that he has carved them in stone means that, you know, he’s absolutely not going break them or anything like that.”

Not sure that is the exact message Mr Miliband intended with his 8 ft limestone pledge sculpture.
