Miliband warning on middle classes

%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%The link between growth and ordinary families' finances has been "broken", as the proceeds of economic recovery disproportionately go to the rich and the rising cost of essentials hits middle-income earners hard, Labour leader Ed Miliband has warned.

Mr Miliband promised to put the "cost of living crisis" at the heart of his platform for a Labour government after next year's general election, describing it as "the greatest challenge of our age" and warning that without a fundamental shift in government policy it will continue for the next five years.
