Meanwhile, in the Guardian, Martin Kettle says that George Osborne is looking careless over the outcome his spending cuts will have on real lives. In the Times, the former Labour minister Tony McNulty argues that Labour must admit its misjudgements on countering terrorism and reaffirm its commitment to the Human Rights Act. Elsewhere, the Daily Telegraph's Jeff Randall says that the shadow cabinet must be forced to acknowledge that Gordon Brown was spending irresponsibly well before the financial crisis. Finally, in the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan argues that the Tea Party stiffened the Republicans' spine by forcing them to recognise that America is a nation in crisis.
