Miliband 'proud' to address Durham Miners' Gala
Labour leader Ed Miliband listed some of the Labour heroes who have spoken before him at past Durham Miners' Galas, including Keir Hardie, Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson and Barbara Castle.
Mr Kinnock was the last Labour leader to attend in 1989, even though Tony Blair's Sedgefield constituency was part of the Durham Coalfield.
– Labour leader Ed MilibandI am proud to follow in their footsteps. I am proud to be here today.
The stakes are so high in this country. If you are someone who is looking for work, whose living standards have been squeezed, or someone worried about the NHS you're not thinking why's Ed Miliband going to the Durham Miners' Gala, you are thinking what can Ed Miliband do for me.
