Ed Miliband's bid to transform the Labour Party

The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has told his party it must be less inward-looking if it is going to win back power.

In a speech to party activists in north Wales, he defended his plans to scrap elections to the shadow cabinet, arguing that it should be the leader that decides who is in the front bench team.

The BBC's political correspondent, Ross Hawkins, reports.
