Labour can ‘make a difference’, says leader

LABOUR will win back the support of lost voters by showing how the party can “make a difference”, Ed Miliband has claimed.

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.”
