Ed's Miliband's conference speech showed he's the leader this country needs and I'm glad I voted for him. He built on the One Nation theme of last year by delivering real substance and putting clear blue water between himself and Bullingdon-boy Cameron. The freeze in gas and electricity prices will be really welcomed by the many thousands of people locally on low and middling incomes whose cost of living is rising and who are seeing little benefit of the so-called economic upturn. Free nursery places, cutting business rates for small businesses, 200,000 new homes per year, repeal of the hated Bedroom Tax, raising the minimum wage, and an integrated health and social care service are all concrete, and deliverable promises.
Ed's focus on the inclusive society was nailed with votes for 16 year olds and the 50% target of women elected as Labour MPs.
A strong list of real policies that will make a difference to people's lives, and to the country. From a leader with bold ambition and leadership skills that I know will impress people on the doorstep and ensure Labour wins in 2015.
