Labour can ‘make a difference’, says leader
The Opposition leader said Labour would “learn the lessons of Bradford” and focus on local issues. The shock Bradford by-election result – where Respect’s George Galloway won by 10,000 votes, overturning a 5,000 majority – showed wavering support for the party.
Speaking during a visit to Toyota in Burnaston, Derbyshire, Mr Miliband said his party would win back the favour of the public by setting itself apart.
He said: “People are understandably sceptical about all politics at the moment. I think we can break through that and show we can make a difference to people’s lives.”
