Speaking in Croydon today, Miliband said:
“Strikes are always a sign of failure but I’m not going to demonise the people who are taking the action.”
“I don’t support strikes because they are always a sign of failure.”
That implies that Miliband is against all strikes, and doesn’t ever see them as worthwhile, doesn’t it?
