Miliband launches Labour's 5 May manifesto

摘要

Labour leader, Ed Miliband, kicked-off his party's manifesto for the local elections last week, claiming his party would be the 'first line of defence' against cuts to council services. Although Labour has won two by-elections since Mr Mili-band became leader in Septem-ber, next month's elections will be the first major national test for the party, and is expected to change the balance of power within the Local Government Association.
