In the closing speech, the deputy leader insisted Ed Miliband had fired the starting gun to the 2015 General Election and Labour was "now in with a fighting chance of forming the next government".

She told delegates: "To win the next General Election we must – all of us – adopt a marginal seat mindset and listen to the people where we don't have Labour MPs as well as where we do."
