Labour's New Year message for 2014

2014 is only a few days away and it is clearer than ever that the Tories, under David Cameron's failed leadership, do not have the answers to the questions facing us in the coming years. Cutting national and local support and funding to life-threatening levels has placed us on the brink of economic and societal collapse. 
In stark contrast, Ed Miliband's New Year message sets out a course for a challenging but positive future.

Ed Miliband:
“Every morning I get up I’m going to be thinking about you, about how I can make your life better, your life easier - no easy answers - not an easy life - but how do we tip the balance towards hope and away from the struggles that you are facing.
The Tories want to change the conversation from the cost of living crisis. They will talk about anything else. Inherent in their vision is not a solution to the cost of living crisis, but the problem. I have a much more optimistic vision about what the country can achieve. People do not want the earth. They would much prefer some very specific promises, specific things about what a government will do - whether it’s freezing energy bills, taking action on pay day lenders, or tackling issues around childcare which lots of working parents face. All of this is adding up to a programme for how we can change things. It’s clearly costed, it’s credible and it’s real. We are going to show to people in 2014 how by standing up for the right people, by being willing to take on the powerful interests and make big changes in our economy, we can deal with the cost of living crisis both now and in the future so that we can earn and grow our way to a higher standard of living for people.”
