WATCH Labour's Ed Miliband: We have 100 hours to win the General Election
Ed Miliband told his supporters they had '100 hours' to win the General Election – and claimed he was enjoying 'every minute' of the campaign.
The Labour leader visited a packed Polly's Tea Room in Mill Street, Brierley Hill, to urge supporters to get out and knock doors ahead of the General Election on Thursday.
He was delayed an hour and a quarter by a previous campaign visit in Worcester. And he had come under fire from his critics for unveiling an eight foot limestone monument engraved with his party's key pledges, which he promised to put in the Downing Street garden if he becomes Prime Minister. London Mayor Boris Johnson accused Mr Miliband of behaving like 'Moses' while David Cameron called it a 'tombstone'.
But Mr Miliband said: "Not at all. This is a serious thing. There are other parties whose promises expire on May 8. Ours don't. We want people to know when we promise to do something we'll do it. I recognise that one of the things we are fighting for is not just working people, but working people's faith.
"It's too easy for politicians to make and break promises. We're going to deliver on our promises. That's what the stone is all about."
He was in the cafe to support Natasha Millward, who is trying to win Dudley South from the Conservatives and Pete Lowe, the party's candidate in Stourbridge.
He has vowed not to do a deal with the Scottish Nationalists to become Prime Minister, despite the offer being put to him by the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.
Asked if he would resign on Friday if Labour does not become the largest party he said: "There's less than 100 hours to go before the election. And I'm going to concentrate on the issues."
