It was the first PMQs of 2012, and Ed Miliband didn’t appear to have much of a comforting break. Perceived harsh criticisms from his guru, Lord Glasman, tepid polling, shortly followed by his embarrassing blackbusters’ gaffe. David Cameron meanwhile has postured on executive pay, made some potentially counterproductive interventions on the future referendum on Scottish independence. Also this week heralded the ground breaking Spartacus Report being published and released. Here is our take on what happened on that day…
