Ed Miliband yesterday unveiled a “cost-of-living contract” with voters as he launched his party’s campaign for the local and European elections on May 22.
With an eye on next year’s general election, the Labour Party set out a 10-point “contract” with voters, including new measures to protect tenants and the party’s freeze on energy prices.
Speaking at the campaign launch in Redbridge, Mr Miliband said: “The vital link between the wealth of the country as a whole and ordinary family finances has been broken.
“People are working harder, for longer, for less, with a few at the top getting the big rewards, insecurity at work for the many.”
Labour’s 10 pledges include building 200,000 homes a year by 2020, offering 25 hours’ free childcare to for three- and four-year-olds to working parents and introducing a 10p starting tax rate while restoring the 50p top rate axed by Tory Chancellor George Osborne.
