Miliband in clarion call to Labour

The Labour Party must become a "great reforming movement" that redistributes power and opportunity to enable it to regain the trust of the electorate, David Miliband said yesterday.

The Shadow Foreign Secretary and Labour leadership contender said he wanted the party to become a "fighting force" across the country as it sought to reconnect with the British people.

Speaking on BBC1'S Andrew Marr Show, he attacked the coalition Government's programme of cuts to curb welfare and reduce public sector pay bills.
