This (from the report above) is barmy and worrying.
The perception of economic competence is, rightly or wrongly, something Labour have struggled with since "there's no money left" and Balls conceding to the Conservative narrative.
Surely if we now have a "safe pair of hands" in charge this is the ground they should be scrapping to win back. Austerity is not a vote winner any more, and Labour need to be reminding people that that's the Tories' fallback approach.
