Ed Miliband, Leader of the Labour Party, in a speech at Chatham House said:
***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY***
It is a great privilege to be here today.
Chatham House has always led the way in shaping new thinking on Britain’s place in the world.
So with the general election less than two weeks away...
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.
If you want something done about it [poverty], ask the Conservatives.
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.”
They just want a government that supports the vulnerable…
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.

Can I just say that if any of my followers think that the behaviour of the protesters at conference was acceptable they can unfollow me now. I spoke to members of this fandom who were at conference and were too scared to stay but couldn’t get to the train station to go home because of these loonies waiting outside. This “free speech for all.. but only if I agree with what you’re saying” mentality is immature and disgusting, and this gif is a perfect example of it. This man wasn’t doing anything wrong at that moment apart from having a different political standpoint to whatever yob threw the egg. How does that warrant assault? Grow up, the lot of you.
Labour supporters especially shouldn’t condone this.
