Labour leader Ed Miliband MP launches Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute
Speaking to a capacity audience of more than 1,000 people the Right Honourable Ed Miliband gave an hour long lecture on his plans to reinvigorate the economy calling for better training, innovation and investment, before going on to answer questions from members of the public. Mr Miliband said: “Standing here looking out at the sea of young faces, I think the most important thing to say is this is the right institution, at the right time, in the right place. It’s right because the study of politics and economics is more important than it’s ever been. Sheffield is a home of great manufacturing heritage with a centre of great learning, which this University has been for a long time.” |
