Well done Miliband, you are forgiven.

Apologies from myself to Mr Miliband are in order following the developments of the Labour conference this year. I criticised Miliband for failing to strike a different note from the Tories and being too centrist, but today I feel he has begun to forge a separate platform from the coalition with a distinctively left-wing edge. Admittedly, he did not go as far as some of us may have liked - renationalised the utilities, for example - but the policy announcements on housing, halting NHS privatisation and nationalising the railways are very welcome. It is worth noting that these announcements sound almost spirit of '45-esque, when the Labour government promised to embark on a large-scale housebuilding programme, create the health service and nationalise key industries. If it was good enough to lead a battered nation from a crippling World War, it's enough to lead a battered nation from crippling austerity measures. In keeping with this early pioneer spirit, I feel this image should sum up Labour's approach to 2015.
