Miliband attacked for 'neoliberal' services speech
Campaigners furious at Labour leader's call for public sector spending cuts
PUBLIC ownership campaigners condemned a “gobbledygook” speech by Labour leader Ed Miliband as a foolish leap toward neoliberal ideas yesterday.
Mr Miliband delivered a rambling speech calling for “people-powered” public services.
He attacked the “old-style, top-down central control” of public services, but failed to call for extension of public ownership to gas, electricity or the railways.
