On Friday (11th November), Labour Leader Ed Miliband came to Rugby as part of the national and local campaign for the Five Point Plan for Jobs and Growth

He was joined by local Councillor Ish Mistry and Chuka Umunna, the Shadow Business Secretary, at a Question and Answer session with students at the Power Academy, part of South Warwickshire College. The new college building and links with local industry are a great example of how Labour in government was acting to renew industry and encourage training and education.

Ed and Chuka faced tough questions from the audience, showing that young people are able to engage with politics. For local press reports, please see:
