The Guardian

Meanwhile, over at the Guardian,, external the paper's economics editor Larry Elliot described Mr Ball's speech as "light on jokes and lighter on spending pledges", which he said was driven by the shadow chancellor's belief that Labour "will only get a hearing for its different set of tax and spending priorities if it looks serious about deficit reduction".

The Daily Telegraph

Let's take a moment to recap on the papers' reaction to yesterday's speech by Ed Balls. The Telegraph , externalconcluded that the shadow chancellor's speech was "yet more evidence that Labour can't be trusted".

Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman has welcomed the co-operation of Arab states in the US air strikes as "encouraging". She told BBC Breakfast a little earlier that IS "needs to be contained". Meanwhile, shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said any British involvement must be based on three criteria: the government would have to show that any action was within international law, that there was a plan of action, and also what would happen after any action.

In other news today, Prime Minister David Cameron is to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as military action against Islamic State (IS) militants has begun. The UK government says it has not joined action "yet".

Before Ed Miliband takes the stage this afternoon we've got plenty happening, including speeches on living standards and sustainability from shadow environment secretary Maria Eagle, Labour's transport spokeswoman Mary Creagh, and shadow energy and climate change secretary Caroline Flint.
