Ed's Big Day

It’s a big day for Ed Miliband – the biggest in his short political career.

He’s only been an MP since 2005 – but now he’s got to deliver a speech which could well dictate if the Labour Party has a chance of winning the next UK election in four and a half years.

For the past few months, he’s criss-crossed the country, talking to party activists, articulating why he would be the best person to take over from Gordon Brown. Enough people bought into that vision to elect him leader.

Now in his first major speech since taking charge, he’s got to go beyond that.
