Miliband Sets Six Goals For Britain's Future

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 23 September 2014 | 23.17

Ed Miliband set out six national goals for the decade as he attempted to show voters he has what it takes to be Prime Minister.

In his last party conference speech before the general election, the Labour leader said the country must look to build a new future "together" because it could not afford "another five years of David Cameron".

The Labour leader put saving the NHS at the heart of his 10-year plan, saying a mansion tax on properties over £2m and taxes on the tobacco firms would be used to pay for it.

He said the country needed to change because it "does not work" and talked about breaking up the big banks, halving the number of Britons on low pay and tackling the cost of living.

In a speech which was overshadowed halfway through by Barack Obama's press conference on airstrikes in Syria and Iraq, he said: "You know this country does not work.

"My answer is we can build a better future for you and your family and this speech is about Labour's plan to do it - Labour's plan for Britain's future."

Speaking without notes, Mr Miliband outlined his six national goals: 

:: To reward people for hard work - raising the national wage to half the number of people on low pay

:: To tackle the cost of living crisis and make sure wages increased with economic growth, breaking up banks and taking power from Whitehall

:: Britain to create a million jobs in green industries - helping to tackle global climate change

:: Making sure as many school leavers go on to apprenticeships as go to university - companies who employ foreign workers will be expected to offer apprenticeships too, and those who want Government contracts will need to provide apprenticeships

:: Making the dream of home-ownership a reality by building more homes and making sure 400,000 first-time buyers a year get on property ladder

:: Save the NHS - provide a "truly 21st century health service" using the proceeds of a mansion tax on homes above £2m and a tax on tobacco firms

Sky's Political Editor Faisal Islam said Labour appeared to have decided on an election campaign agenda that said: "The Government can help solve your problems."

Mr Miliband opened his speech by urging Mr Cameron to seek a United Nations Security Council resolution to "counter the threat" of Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.

He said the threats they had made against the British hostage Alan Henning, who is from Manchester where the conference was being held, meant action had to be taken.

The Labour leader said Britain should not turn its back on the world, outlining a foreign policy which would see a Labour Government committed to finding a two-state solution for the Israelis and Palestinians.

Mr Miliband also stressed the country should not walk away from the European Union, and thanked former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling for helping to deliver a no vote in the Scottish referendum.

Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said Mr Miliband "failed to offer any serious plan to grow the economy".

"Labour simply don't have a long-term economic plan to secure a better future for Britain. Our country, our children and our grandchildren would be worse off under Ed Miliband's weak leadership."
