Good focus on family, nationhood, and how much he loves Britain. Will keep Daily Mail journos orgasmic.

Ed is quoting lines from his dad's book re 'courage' of people driving change

Ed using his personal story: family and early life, very closely with his political journey. Liking it. Makes it all very personal

First speech should always be building a narrative and personal story. I don't care if it has little on actual policy. No need for that now

"You won't always like what I have to say, but you elected me leader... We changed Clause 4 and we were right to do so."

Gets a big applause for saying the party was right to make gender equality in Parliament an important cause

He's stumbled a couple of times but gets applause for his first real dig at the Tories

The stuff on 'how Labour changed' was good. Somewhat pro-business and about challenging the old ways of thinking. Tacking to right slightly

BBC producer focuses on Ben Bradshaw as Ed Miliband talks about gay equality. Very subtle BBC...

Hmmm.. not sure spending all this time praising G Brown is that good an idea. But I doubt media will focus on that.

"How did the party with such a record lose 5 million votes since 1997?" - good question.

'Trapped by its own certainties' - Ed M's perfect description of New Labour

Ed says party did not do enough to deal with financial crisis, immigration and "we came to look like the new establishment"

@sunny_hundal
Bit of tacking to the right with a nod to immigration, as expected. Mentioned MPs expenses - also good. No bashing of bankers yet

Miliband ; Labour must shape the centre ground of #British politics

He should crack a few more jokes. Looks a bit serious now..

Ed: "I will not oppose every cut the Coalition proposes". Sounding very centrist on the economy. "We must earn back fiscal credibility"

Miliband admits there would have been painful cuts if Labour had stayed in power and says he is serious about cutting the deficit

@sunny_hundal
"But what we should not do is make a bad situation worse by cutting harder and deeper.." channelling a bit of Darling and Balls mixed.

He's saying what they want to hear but he's hardly inspiring the hall

He is strong on deficit reduction - but will he be bold and make Balls his shadow chancellor?

No plan for growth means no plan for deficit reduction. We must protect those on middle & low incomes. People who caused crisis shd do more
