Labour today officially launched Labourspace.com - a unique site giving organisations and individuals the opportunity to set up campaigns they want to bring to the attention of Labour politicians.

Ed Miliband, who is compiling the next Labour election manifesto, will launch the site today at 4pm with a speech to guests from a host of charities and NGOs.

He will be speaking about the importance of working with campaigning organisations and individuals to build our manifesto - and how the website can help achieve that.

Ed Miliband MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, will say:

"LabourSpace is the Labour Party's campaign social networking site. I hope it will provide a unique home for organisations and people to host and promote their campaigns - and to bring their ideas to the attention of Labour ministers and the wider party.

"The idea behind Labourspace.com is really simple. You get your own webpage within the Labourspace network where you can tell us why you think Labour should be implementing your campaign ideas.  

"I will be regularly checking out the site which I expect will become a lively forum for discussion and debate. I hope people will use it to let us know what their priorities are for a better, fairer Britain under Labour in the future."
