Ed Miliband wants Labour to have a clear vision of the future Labour leader Ed Miliband is set to urge his party to set out a “national mission” to regain voters’ trust.
Mr Miliband will say in a speech in London that Labour lost the general election because of policy mistakes.
He will try to distance “his” Labour party from the one led by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, says BBC political correspondent Ben Wright.
Voters will only return to Labour when the party admits its mistakes when in government, he will say.
Accepting the scale of the electoral task Labour faces, Mr Miliband will say Labour must also offer a clear and positive vision of the future, one that addresses people’s concerns about income inequality and today’s generation of youngsters having a harder life than their parents.
In elections earlier this month, Labour was defeated by the SNP in key Scottish heartlands, dropping from 46 seats to 37 at Holyrood, and losing some of its most senior figures.
A review of the party’s poor showing was commissioned by Mr Miliband.
The party fell just short of an overall majority in Wales, but did make strong gains in town halls in the north of England at the expense of the Lib Dems.
