Struggling with your New Year’s Resolution already? It’s all David Cameron’s fault.

Ed Miliband did vow to ‘relentlessly’ focus on the cost of living crisis facing hardworking families up and down the country (hopefully someone will develop a shorthand outline for this rather lengthy saying to save the pens of journalists who have to write it down repeatedly at launch events over the next 12 months) in 2014. So we should have expected this relentless focus to see Miliband’s shadow ministers pointing angrily at every expensive thing that they can find, regardless of whether it’s particularly heart-rending. Today we heard Luciana Berger thundering that David Cameron is so evil that he’s putting people off their new year’s resolutions. Yes, for all those who resolved after their 1,656th mince pie that 2014 would be the year they’d get fit, there is now an excuse that they can dig out in March when they realise they still can’t run for the bus without puffing.
