In a reference to senior Cabinet ministers - including Chancellor George Osborne - being booed recently at the Paralympic Games. Mr Miliband claimed the "crowd had spoken for Britain".

The prime minister said he hoped the government would make an announcement on consultation on the controversial issue of airport capacity in the south of England within the next few days.
And he contrasted the "strong and united" coalition with divisions within Labour ranks.
"The big difference in British politics is that I don't want to move my chancellor, he can't move his shadow chancellor," he said. "In spite of all the opportunity, this is a weak and divided opposition."
