Responding to Ed Miliband's speech to the Labour party conference in Brighton today (Tuesday), TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: 'This was a defining speech that rightly focussed on the living standards crisis and went on to offer hope.

'At its heart was a clear break from the view that Britain succeeds by reducing the rights, pay and prospects of people at work. More importantly the clear pledges made today and during the rest of this week showed that there will be a real choice at the next election - no-one can now say that the parties are all the same.'
