Good call, Ed

Ed Miliband 38 DegreesBy Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

On the morning that tens of thousands are marching through London to demonstrate their support of climate change action ahead of Copenhagen in the Wave, Ed Miliband has taken part in a first: a mass phone conversation.

The phone call was arranged by 38 Degrees, who say Miliband will be sitting at the negotiating table at Copenhagn next week “with our words ringing in his ears…it’s yet more proof that people power works.”
