    Thing is if he fails it's even more Tory nonsense for the period

    I think this weeks catch phrase is "Britain 2025"

    Unfortunatly I have this mental image of Milliband and Balls doing a rendition of
    Zager And Evans "In The Year 2525"

    Wilson & Keppel....:D

    So he's pledging to build fewer homes than we were before the recession, and not for another 6 years?

    Labour's 13 year legacy leaves a lot to be desired - what lunatic would want to vote for them to let them wreak more havoc?

    Personally I would like to know what his 10 year plan is to bring the public finances under control before the baby boomers start retiring.

    Where are all the thousands of Health service workers and carers going to come from. Abroad likely. UKIP will jump on this.

    As a football fan, I can say that whenever someone starts bandying around the phrase "world class", they're usually talking nonsense.

    Just watched his speech on the news. Honestly, does anyone look less like a leader?

    Ed needs to make a very impactful speech, IMO as it appears that this Labour conference, the last one before the election, has gone largely unnoticed.


    Seem to have have possibly had a boost in the polls

    Why does someone have to look like a leader?

    Blair and Cameron 'looked' like leaders and look at the state of them. Let's have something different form polished used car sales men.

    Miliband has neither the substance nor the style - and that's despite trying hard to act like he has charisma. It's not as if he doesn't have a team of people to carefully massage every sentence and action he does to make sure it is on message and textbook.

    If he acted human and wasn't doing what his PR handlers told him to do, it'd possibly get him somewhere.

    Until he's done the job you can't judge him on substance. You can however with Cameron and Clegg and the answer is they have none.

    Oh come on, he is barely capable of feeding the pigeons in the park on his own

    He is like the Rain Man, only he can’t do maths

    Was this poll taken after Ed's speech?

    That always happens during conference time.

    Let's see what the situation is after the conferences are all over.

    Maybe it was a poll taken in the hall after the speech ;-)

    No mention of housing, constitutional reform, civil liberties, immigration or the EU.

    Hilarious to see a young activist claiming that this "10 year plan" would herald a new age of socialism in the UK.

    He talks about the damage the conservatives have done, as I remember it, the last time his lot were in power they almost bankrupted the country! And not for the first time.

    We have had a hard five years to get the economy starting to recover and now he wants to go on a spending spree.

    I do hope this plan isnt based on the assumption he can still indefinitely have scottish and to a lesser extent welsh mps voting through legislation that only effects those in England.

    The abscence of housing in particular is a big worry given how big an issue it is.

    He said prior to the conference Labour's housing target was 200,000 new houses by 2020. I have news for him, he wouldn't find enough labour to achieve that goal.
