Ed Miliband - My Fake Diary

Wednesday, 15 August 2012

I've vowed to make unemployment a key battleground issue in a forthcoming by-election after Tory MP Louise Mensch announced her intention to quit the Commons.

Of course this will not help anyone out of work in Corby, or anywhere else for that matter, but I thought it sounded good to me, and we do need to win this election badly.

I opened my speech with: "You and I know it's going to be a very tough fight if our brilliant candidate, Andy Sawford, is to earn the right to represent the people of Corby. Two years ago, the Conservatives won this seat from Labour. We must persuade those who did not vote Labour last time to put their trust in us again."

The missus wrote that for me.
