Ed Miliband won the debate and set out a clear choice and a clear plan

labourpress

Douglas Alexander, Labour’s Chair of General Election Strategy, commenting on tonight’s ITV Leaders’ Debate said:

"Ed Miliband showed millions of viewers tonight that there might have been seven leaders on stage, but there was only one alternative Prime Minister.

"Ed Miliband won the debate and set out a clear choice and a clear plan, from zero-hours contracts to tuition fees to rents. And he took David Cameron on, especially on the NHS.

"Despite choosing the format, David Cameron was the invisible man for much of the debate."

Wow, yes, well done Conservatives, getting wages rising and the economy growing. It’s not like wages and the economy naturally grow in a capitalist society and have done by the end of every decade in modern history.

Housing - Over the last five years the Conservatives have completely failed - John Healey

labourpress

John Healey MP, Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, responding to reports of David Cameron’s speech, said:

“Over the last five years with David Cameron in charge the Conservatives have completely failed on housing. They claim to be the party of home ownership but on their watch it has fallen every year for the past five years and is now at its lowest level for a generation - for those under 35, it’s down by over a fifth.

“Their record of failure has also seen rapidly rising rents, more homelessness, higher housing benefits bill, and fewer homes built than at any time since the 1920s.

“After five years of failure on housing, the millions of people struggling to cope with their housing costs deserve a real plan for more affordable homes to rent and buy. And the country needs a new wide debate about how our deepening housing crisis can be tackled.”

Work your way out poverty, Duncan Smith tell disabled

Disabled people should have to work their way out poverty and not simply be taken out of it by state financial assistance, Iain Duncan Smith has said. The Work and Pensions Secretary said it was not the role of government to pay the disabled enough to stop them being poor and that the correct way to escape poverty was by working. “We don’t think of people not in work as victims to be sustained on government handouts. No, we want to help them live lives independent of the state,” he told the annual Conservative party conference in Manchester.

Are cabinet ministers in a competition to see who can make the most appallingly inhuman speech?

Women are the backbone of this party, and unlike Jeremy Corbyn we have put them at the forefront of this government.

Nicky Morgan, one of only 68 female Conservative MPs, and member of a ¾ male cabinet, compared to 99 female Labour MPs out of a smaller number of MPs overall, with a shadow cabinet that is majority women.
