Britain is suffering from a “living standards crisis” under David Cameron’s Government, Ed Miliband has warned.
The Labour leader went on to predict the issue would be the “battleground” on which the next UK general election would be fought.
Voters will choose who should form the next government on the basis of “who can turn things around for hard-working people”, he said.
While he said millionaires had “never had it so good” under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, Mr Miliband said only Labour could “tackle the cost-of-living crisis”.
As well as attacking the UK Government, he hit out at Alex Salmond’s SNP administration at Holyrood, with the Labour leader accusing the Scottish First Minister of focusing his efforts on “trying to divide our country rather than solving the problems families in Scotland face day in, day out”.
