Ed Miliband speech

“This was the day Ed Miliband showed that he was Prime Minister material. He delivered a truly inspirational vision of a fairer united Britain under the next Labour Government.

“He offered a vision and hope to the young, to the vulnerable, to the sick and to the elderly based on decency and fairness. And he set out a new way forward for our nation.

“He has shown that he is not afraid to take on the banks or big business to make them operate in the interests of the nation to at last begin to redress the gross inequalities in our society

“But he offered little hope to the millions of low-paid public service workers teaching assistants, dinner ladies, care workers who are going through massive pay cuts, their jobs threatened and their services privatised. Until he can offer them hope, it will be difficult for them to vote Labour again. One Britain should include these workers”.
