By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor Wages under the coalition will have fallen more sharply than under any government since Victorian times, Labour claimed today. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls used a major speech on the economy to warn after inflation are down by 2.3 per cent, the worst fall since Benjamin Disraeli was Prime Minister. Mr Balls echoed Ronald Reagan's campaign to be US President when he asked voters if they were better off than four years ago, as he warned interest rates could rise early because the coalition has failed to build enough homes. Analysis by the House of Commons Library  shows wages are expected to fall by 2.3 per cent during this Parliament, the lowest since 1874-80
