I am very concerned about the government’s plans to hand over control of the Royal Mail to the private sector

As Labour leader, I would oppose any Bill that gave the private sector a majority stake in Royal Mail, which would mean the controlling interest of the company was not democratically governed in the public interest.

I support maintaining Royal Mail in the public sector, while bringing in both new investment and reform. This is the best way to protect the vital principles of a single price and universal provision that underpin a postal service operated in the public interest. Competition from other forms of communication – not least e-mail – is only going to continue, so we must encourage innovation and creativity from all quarters to safeguard the future of Royal Mail.

I also think we should be finding ways to sustain and capitalise on the Post Office network, which is part of the fabric of our communities. We should be exploring ways to use the Post Office network to provide banking and other financial services to people – as well as to provide credit to families that keeps them out of the hands of exploitative loan sharks and enables them to borrow at a reasonable cost.

In plain english he's starting to panic because he's gone from a shoe-in to possibly second place.
He would tell you he's Lenin's long lost brother if it bought him a few more votes.

Miliband invited that odious sh*t Mandelson to a local school for a meet the dupes evening. Could i the hell get an invite. Pity, i could have made the front page as another voter manhandled out of a Liebour shindig.

What a twat, his Government was given this very opportunity and they bottled it.

Sorry I didn t hear him opposing Blair and Brown shut down local post offices and shaft 80 thousand RM workers.

Forget it Milliband , you can t say you oppose privatisation of RM and then call for new private investment.
