    Milliband promises to increase minimum wage if elected

    You may be right, but that is still conjecture. For an indication of what is happening in Labour's strongholds I would look further north, and the fact is that the SNP have provided an credible alternative to the Labour Party and an opportunity for the working class to give Labour a punch in...

    Milliband promises to increase minimum wage if elected
