David Cameron has dubbed Ed Miliband ‘the new Neil Kinnock’ in the wake of the Labour leader’s pledge to bring back 1970s-style energy price freezes. And he mocked Mr Miliband’s 8,000-word speech – made without notes – saying sarcastically: ‘He did well to remember Labour’s entire 1983 Election manifesto.’ The Prime Minister’s private prediction that the next Election, now just 18 months away, will be a re-run of the 1992 contest in which John Major defeated Neil Kinnock, came on the eve of the Tory Party conference in Manchester. Visiting time: David Cameron, the Prime Minister, and his wife Samantha gear up for the Conservative conference with a trip to the children's cancer ward at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford yesterday
