DAVID Williams (October 7), on behalf of the Green Party, tells us that “Labour are committed to all the cuts the Tories have made and will carry forward the damaging austerity programme that is the core of Conservative Party economic policy.”

The Tories, on the other hand, portray Ed Miliband’s failure to mention the deficit during his conference speech as evidence of Labour’s lack of commitment to Tory austerity.

They cannot both be right.
