Labour's banking plan: will it work and what does it mean for you?

Miliband wants to end the dominance of the banking giants but critics have said his strategy will backfire

LABOUR leader Ed Miliband will today announce plans to end the dominance of the UK's largest retail banks by introducing a cap on market share. The speech is seen as Miliband's most important since Labour's autumn party conference and establishes the narrative he will pursue in the months to come as the battle lines are drawn ahead of the general election.

He is expected to cite the banking sector as an area that needs to be dramatically reformed to help increase living standards in Britain.
