'I'll govern like Tory leader Margaret Thatcher,' says Ed 'Red' Miliband. The Labour leader claimed he was ready to follow the iconic Tory prime minister as a “conviction politician”. “To be a successful government, you need a defining mission,” he told his audience in a speech in London. His references to Lady Thatcher – who was hated by many in the Labour Party – came as he outlined his party’s new “people power” approach to public services.
But his remarks were dismissed by senior Tories. Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said: “Ed Miliband has opposed every single change to improve public services, so why would anyone believe a word he says on the subject? “It’s just the same old Labour – no long-term plan, just more spending, more borrowing and more taxes.” Mr Miliband was speaking at the Hugo Young lecture, an annual event held in memory of a journalist on the Guardian newspaper. The Labour leader told his audience: “Hugo Young and I didn’t agree with Lady Thatcher on most things. “It is what happens when you make the political running,” he said. Glasgow. Coordinates: Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡoʊ, ˈɡlæz-/;[4] Scots: Glesca; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu) is the largest city in Scotland, and the 4th largest in the United Kingdom, and, as of the 2011 census, the Scottish city with the highest population density with 3,395 people per square kilometre.[5] It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands.
Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians. Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest seaports in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century.
From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies. History[edit] Early origins and development[edit] Trading port[edit] Industrialisation[edit] Glasgow George Square in 1966.
