"We believe in community, solidarity and belonging" - heh, excellent. Nod to social conservatives.

This is a very wide ranging speech. Not sure what the big theme will be, though I'm sure most focus will be on attacking Tories on economy

Now a nod to his instinct on being liberal on civil liberties. Attacks 90 days, but defends CCTV, DNA testing.

He says 'we were wrong' on Iraq - and is applauded by the audience

Supports Afghanistan, but says Iraq was "wrong". "We were wrong to take Britain to war"!

None of the front-bench clapping when he criticised Iraq. The hall clapped loudly though.

Ed M says Iraq war and Gaza flotilla attack both 'wrong'. Finally!

Also criticised Israeli settlements, but says he defends its right to exist.

Miliband - Israel must recognise #Palestinian right to statehood #Gaza blockade must be lifted

Dunno why he's going into Israel/Palestine now. This should have been more broader. Too many policy positions for me

Said he would support AV and a fully elected House of Lords

@bbclaurak
Ed Miliband says he will vote yes in AV referendum and calls for elected house of Lords which gets huge cheer

Ed Miliband goes big on the environment "biggest challenge our generation faces". "we need to get climate change"

Ed M says he won't attack coalition from the right on crime and terrorism - finally!

@sunny_hundal
Excellent. Says he will support Coalition when he believed (prisons, crime) and not just attack them for being "soft on terrorism"

Takes on the silly 'Forrest gump", Wallace and 'red Ed' crap. Dismisses it.

"A new generation has taken control of Labour. We are the optimists and we will change Britain" - the main line

Speech finished, some overall thoughts: Barely attacked Libdems, focused more on Tories. Big on civil liberties, rare for Labour

Ticked all the right-wing boxes as required without going too far. Will annoy some lefties, as is required.

Wow. Am I wrong in think that? Ed Miliband. I give it to you. You had me listening. No frills and from the heart.
