Miliband Launching Labour Election Campaign

Labour leader Ed Miliband is launching his party's General Election campaign at the Olympic Park in East London.

The event in east London comes after Mr Miliband and Prime Minister David Cameron answered questions in the Battle For Number 10 , the first showdown of the campaign.

Officially launching the party's push for power in the "tightest general election in a generation", Mr Miliband said: "The Tories say this is as good as it gets.

"We say Britain can and must do better than this."

Referencing the special programme broadcast on Sky News and Channel 4 on Thursday, the Labour leader claimed the PM's performance showed he was "rattled" and "running from his record".

The election on May 7 is a choice between "two different visions" for Britain, Mr Miliband said.

"The Tory vision that says Britain only succeeds when a few at the top do well with tax cuts for the wealthiest and insecurity that everyone else or a Labour vision based on the idea that Britain only succeeds when working people succeed."
