Ed Miliband delivered a greatest hits style final address to the party faithful as he brought his campaign to a close with a rally in Leeds.

Norman Tebbit described the Conservatives’ 1987 election campaign as finishing “exactly as planned on the ground where Labour was weak and we were strong – defence, taxation, and the economy” and this was Miliband’s attempt to do so for Labour: the NHS, standing up to the rich, understanding the concerns of the little guy.
