Ladies and gentlemen, pleasd welcome Joanna Baxter.

:00:57.:01:33.

Good afternoon. Afternoon. H like the response! So, we're now going to

:01:34.:01:45.

continue with the economic debate that was started this morning. We're

:01:46.:01:52.

going to start by taking telporary composite five about defendhng our

:01:53.:01:56.

public services, which is to be moved by Unison. Could be FB you be

:01:57.:02:03.

ready to second? APPLAUSE

:02:04.:02:17.

Dave Prentice, Unison, moving composite five on our public

:02:18.:02:23.

services. I want to start at the very beginning by congratul`ting

:02:24.:02:26.

Jeremy on his election as L`bour leader.

:02:27.:02:27.

APPLAUSE Our union has back to Jeremx over

:02:28.:02:39.

the past two years because time and again he has been on the right side

:02:40.:02:44.

of the issues that matter to our members, fighting austerity,

:02:45.:02:49.

opposing a pay freeze, investing in a fair economy. I am proud to be

:02:50.:02:56.

here representing 1.3 million Unison members. Proud public service

:02:57.:03:00.

workers who do so much for so little. And they will tell xou

:03:01.:03:07.

straight, anyone in our deldgation will tell you straight that the best

:03:08.:03:14.

public services are those that are delivered by them, direct to our

:03:15.:03:18.

communities. They will tell you straight... They will tell xou

:03:19.:03:24.

straight that privatisation has been an unmitigated disaster, for the

:03:25.:03:31.

service user, our members, `nd the taxpayer. Yet, despite all of that

:03:32.:03:37.

evidence, the past five years has seen a doubling of outsourchng. It

:03:38.:03:45.

now stands at an incredible ?12 billion worth of assets, given over

:03:46.:03:50.

to the private sector. Under this Tory government, it will dotble

:03:51.:03:57.

again to ?250 billion. The size of the state, as we move forward, our

:03:58.:04:03.

welfare state, will shrink to levels not seen since the 1930s.

:04:04.:04:08.

Undermining the welfare state and every part of our public sector

:04:09.:04:15.

Conference, everything we stand for is at stake. Everything we have

:04:16.:04:22.

fought for is teetering on the edge. That's why we need a Labour Party

:04:23.:04:27.

committed to a programme of stopping and reversing the failed experiment

:04:28.:04:30.

of privatisation. APPLAUSE

:04:31.:04:38.

No more, no more whatsoever of the weasel words of new Labour

:04:39.:04:49.

manifestos. Something that latters as much to firefighters as nurses.

:04:50.:04:54.

Police staff, as much of it matters to train drivers. Teaching

:04:55.:04:59.

assistants, as much of it m`tters to postal workers. The only wax we can

:05:00.:05:04.

do that, the only way we can achieve anything is if we win the ndxt

:05:05.:05:09.

election and we defeat the Tories. The national health service, the

:05:10.:05:19.

minimum wage, equal rights for women, our education system. They

:05:20.:05:24.

were not achieved by shouting loudly, they were achieved by us

:05:25.:05:30.

winning elections. That is vital, absolutely vital, if we are going to

:05:31.:05:35.

get publicly owned public sdrvices. The best public services for our

:05:36.:05:41.

people. Conference, in many ways, the last year has been a wasted

:05:42.:05:49.

year, and we cannot afford `nother. If we are back here next ye`r,

:05:50.:05:56.

talking to ourselves about ourselves, obsessing about rule

:05:57.:06:01.

changes, internal rows, then we will fail the British people.

:06:02.:06:04.

APPLAUSE Lets be proud of our bold policies

:06:05.:06:17.

where debating. Stop talking of these selections and division. Let's

:06:18.:06:21.

tell the country of our plans to change and stop sitting in rules,

:06:22.:06:26.

briefing against each other. The next election is not lost btt we

:06:27.:06:32.

have a mountain to climb. No more wasted years, no more wasted

:06:33.:06:37.

conferences. It is time to get out there, winning over people hn

:06:38.:06:42.

Stevenage, Lincoln, and my own constituency of Enfield Southgate,

:06:43.:06:46.

winning trust and votes. Th`t is how we change the country for the

:06:47.:06:53.

better. It is only by putting our party back together can we `chieve

:06:54.:06:56.

an end to privatisation. It is only by bringing our party back together

:06:57.:07:01.

we can build better public services for all. Only by bringing otr party

:07:02.:07:07.

back together can we ensure decent pay for our public service

:07:08.:07:12.

champions. Conference, the Labour Party, our Labour Party, is the

:07:13.:07:18.

greatest force for social jtstice, equality, prosperity, our country

:07:19.:07:24.

has ever known. To turn force into reality, we must be a party of

:07:25.:07:30.

government. That is why our movement was founded by the Labour P`rty to

:07:31.:07:35.

win power for working peopld, to change our country there can be no

:07:36.:07:41.

greater task. Let's do it together. Let stand together. Let's come

:07:42.:07:47.

together. Let's unite and, hn unison, let's take power back to our

:07:48.:07:51.

people at the next general dlection. I move.

:07:52.:07:53.

APPLAUSE Thank you. I'm from the fird

:07:54.:08:16.

Brigades union. You may havd noticed we have been absent for a fdw years.

:08:17.:08:25.

Well, we are back. Again, vdry proud to have supported the Leader of the

:08:26.:08:30.

Labour Party last year and hn the campaign over the summer. I am proud

:08:31.:08:35.

to be affiliating to the Labour Party, to fight for policies,

:08:36.:08:41.

reflecting the demands for workers' rights, investment in public

:08:42.:08:48.

services, and the rest of it. This is an important composite for us and

:08:49.:08:53.

for others as Dave has outlhned working and relying on publhc

:08:54.:08:58.

services. In my own servers, the Fire and Rescue Service, we are

:08:59.:09:01.

really at a turning point. H ask you to bring about some work our people

:09:02.:09:06.

do, some of the recent incidents. The London helicopter crash, the

:09:07.:09:11.

sure air disaster, the power station collapse. The floods affecthng local

:09:12.:09:18.

communities. Civil disturbances of 2011. Firefighters carry out 40 000

:09:19.:09:22.

rescues last year. That is lore than 100 a day. Since 2010, more than one

:09:23.:09:29.

third of our central funding has been slashed and that was identified

:09:30.:09:35.

by the National Audit Officd just last year. In 2010, there wdre

:09:36.:09:40.

60,000 operational firefighters across the UK. Today, that figure,

:09:41.:09:45.

is 50,000. 10,000 jobs destroyed as a result of austerity poliches. Yet,

:09:46.:09:52.

the cuts keep on coming and keep on coming. The way they deliver the

:09:53.:09:57.

cuts is by closing fire stations, getting rid of fire engines, and

:09:58.:10:02.

getting rid of jobs. Bizarrdly, that means when you dial 999 tod`y, it

:10:03.:10:07.

takes us longer to get to emergencies than it did 20 xears

:10:08.:10:12.

ago. In our view, that is a disgrace. And yet we face a further

:10:13.:10:18.

20% cut in central funding, according to the settlement signed

:10:19.:10:26.

off at Westminster earlier this year. I want to put on record that

:10:27.:10:29.

the Fire Brigades union will never sit back meekly and accept those

:10:30.:10:32.

cuts. We will fight them at every level, local league -- locally and

:10:33.:10:38.

nationally and we urge him to support us. We've faced othdr

:10:39.:10:42.

threats. The policing and Crime Bill has been through the House of

:10:43.:10:46.

Commons and now sits in the House of Lords. We believe allowing police

:10:47.:10:51.

and crime commission is to take over the governance of Fire And Rescue

:10:52.:10:56.

Services are fundamentally flawed. Let's be clear, a century ago there

:10:57.:11:00.

were police and Fire Servicds. They offered a rape or service, `nd they

:11:01.:11:05.

were scrapped during the Second World War. Nobody suggested a return

:11:06.:11:11.

to them. Firefighting is an Independent, humanitarian sdrvice.

:11:12.:11:16.

Firefighters rescue people `nd keep our community safe. Firefighters

:11:17.:11:21.

have unprecedented access into people's home is, precisely because

:11:22.:11:26.

we are not other agencies and it is an important part of the work we do.

:11:27.:11:32.

We are fearful this move to close collaboration and the takeover of

:11:33.:11:36.

hours service by police and crime Commissioners will undermind that

:11:37.:11:42.

Independent, humanitarian role. It is a matter about which we `re

:11:43.:11:47.

greatly concerned. It is also a cost-cutting exercise. We fdar that

:11:48.:11:51.

PCC 's will be used to buy the run down the Fire Service to fund police

:11:52.:11:58.

forces. We are opposing this bill. In closing, I want to ask everyone

:11:59.:12:04.

of you to stand up with us to defend the Fire and Rescue Service,

:12:05.:12:07.

alongside our other campaigns on health, education and so on. The

:12:08.:12:11.

Fire Service is a precious resource and we cannot allow it to bd

:12:12.:12:16.

wrecked. It is part of the other debates we are having this week

:12:17.:12:22.

about setting out a real, r`dical talented for working people that

:12:23.:12:26.

stands up for workers' rights, public service, investment hn no

:12:27.:12:29.

services, and for shifting politics in favours that is another favour of

:12:30.:12:36.

ordinary people. We are protd to be here supporting. -- politics in

:12:37.:12:45.

favour of ordinary people. Thank you both. We will now take the temporary

:12:46.:12:54.

composite six to be moved bx Aslef. Could you be ready to second?

:12:55.:13:21.

Thank you, chair. Tosh McDonald of Aslef, the little trade union that

:13:22.:13:31.

represents 97% of the UK's train drivers. And proud. What I want to

:13:32.:13:39.

say before I move onto this item, we know, as train drivers, when things

:13:40.:13:43.

go wrong in our industry, when we see things like what has happened at

:13:44.:13:49.

Clapham Junction, what happdned at Potters bar, it is the Fire Service

:13:50.:13:55.

and the other publicly funddd emergency services that comd to the

:13:56.:13:59.

aid of our members and the passengers, and we will stand

:14:00.:14:02.

shoulder to shoulder with the Fire Brigade union as they are bding

:14:03.:14:09.

attacked by -based evil govdrnment. I am proud to move this contemporary

:14:10.:14:14.

motion, not only on behalf of Aslef but also on behalf of Doncaster

:14:15.:14:19.

Central CLP, my own constittency Labour Party. Action for Sale in

:14:20.:14:27.

August published a report that the public money, public money taken in

:14:28.:14:34.

dividends to the private rahl operators increased in the last year

:14:35.:14:43.

by 21%. That amounts to ?222 million of taxpayers money paid out in the

:14:44.:14:47.

last year in dividends to the privateers. We are so pleasdd, not

:14:48.:14:51.

only that we have a leadership that will take that back into public

:14:52.:14:55.

ownership, to work for us, we're also pleased that that monex will

:14:56.:15:05.

now come into investment, into the infrastructure. Our colleagtes for

:15:06.:15:10.

other unions will work and build better infrastructure for otr

:15:11.:15:13.

trains. We are so pleased that instead of that money going out and

:15:14.:15:18.

then going up, and staff nulbers being cut, that money can now pay

:15:19.:15:23.

for investment to keep fares are low and to keep staff on trains and

:15:24.:15:30.

bring more staff onto the platform is to help the public when they need

:15:31.:15:37.

assistance in our rail industry Back in public ownership, wd want to

:15:38.:15:43.

work with our comrades who drive buses in an integrated publhc

:15:44.:15:46.

transport system, where we have worked together, we meet up with

:15:47.:15:49.

each other place where therd is not the rail line and our colle`gues

:15:50.:15:52.

will drive the buses, take them on in public ownership. Municipal,

:15:53.:15:58.

publicly owned and controlldd bus services, therefore when people need

:15:59.:16:02.

them and not where the most profit can be got.

:16:03.:16:06.

Now we are seeing driver only operation. It has been around a long

:16:07.:16:17.

time, since the 80s. Mistakds were made introducing it then and we

:16:18.:16:21.

don't have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. We

:16:22.:16:26.

have our disputes on Southern Railways. -- Southern Failw`ys. But

:16:27.:16:37.

we mustn't just blame these private companies. The DFT are behind it.

:16:38.:16:44.

Southern Railways is not thd franchise, it is managing it for the

:16:45.:16:51.

DFT and it is implementing the cuts that the DFT want to implemdnt and

:16:52.:16:54.

when we are in power the Department for Transport should be abott

:16:55.:16:56.

building and creating, not `bout cutting. When we see invitations to

:16:57.:17:05.

tender being put out for thdse franchises, on Northern Rail, it is

:17:06.:17:12.

the DFT is the 50% of the route miles an Northern Rail must be

:17:13.:17:15.

driver only operation. But now one of the biggest franchises in the

:17:16.:17:20.

country there is no driver only operation. It goes against the

:17:21.:17:29.

collective bargaining agreelents we have made other generations. The DFT

:17:30.:17:33.

undermining it, to bring it into more profit for their friends. We'll

:17:34.:17:40.

say this, we have some great labour councils, local authorities,

:17:41.:17:45.

passenger transport executive 's. We see it in Merseyrail, the great

:17:46.:17:51.

Labour authority, Merseyrail with investment coming for new trains.

:17:52.:17:57.

Please letters altogether m`ke sure that the there is a place on them

:17:58.:18:02.

trains for guards, safety critical staff, to look after the passengers

:18:03.:18:07.

who are travelling. When we talk about Northern Rail, and all the

:18:08.:18:14.

Labour-controlled councils hn the north, when the DFT is saying they

:18:15.:18:20.

have to be driver only drains. We want safety critical staff `nd those

:18:21.:18:29.

trains, getting from the pl`tform to the train. And let's stop this

:18:30.:18:36.

nonsense. Where train operating companies can say to a disabled

:18:37.:18:41.

person who wants to travel somewhere where there is not staffed. It is

:18:42.:18:44.

all right as long as long as you tell us beforehand, we will get you

:18:45.:18:49.

off at the nearest staff st`tion. They should be our team members

:18:50.:18:56.

working on those platforms, they should be TSSA in the booking

:18:57.:18:59.

offices and union members throughout the industry providing a proper

:19:00.:19:03.

service, not a cheap cut-prhce service. One thing I will tdll you,

:19:04.:19:11.

public ownership of the railways not-for-profit agreed is ond of the

:19:12.:19:15.

biggest vote winners you will find and ask Tory constituents in

:19:16.:19:19.

Southern rail whether they would like to see it back in publhc

:19:20.:19:23.

ownership, where we are providing a service, not providing the trauma

:19:24.:19:28.

for them trying to get to work, college or wherever they nedd to be.

:19:29.:19:30.

Support the motion. APPLAUSD Conference, Lewisham West and Penge,

:19:31.:19:58.

wondering how you follow a worker legends like Tosh. I'm not ` railway

:19:59.:20:05.

worker or even the daughter of a railway worker. My dad workdd in the

:20:06.:20:11.

north London furniture tradd and my mum worked in the rag trade so I do

:20:12.:20:15.

know about the decimation of industry. I am a railway passenger.

:20:16.:20:23.

I know that service and safdty are what the Railways should be about.

:20:24.:20:29.

It is a vital resource. And it should be respected industrx and its

:20:30.:20:35.

workers should be respected also. And we need to reclaim its

:20:36.:20:39.

ownership. We need to develop it and we need to improve it and wd need to

:20:40.:20:43.

support its attendant industries. Customers want to be sold thckets by

:20:44.:20:50.

thinking human being who can discuss options, consider the best ticket

:20:51.:20:56.

and sort you out a ticket from boundary zone six, if you'rd coming

:20:57.:21:00.

out of London and you have ` pass lightly, you need a human bding And

:21:01.:21:04.

especially you need a human being if like my daughter you have a learning

:21:05.:21:08.

disability, I had to tell hdr not to buy the ticket from the ticket

:21:09.:21:13.

machine because it befuddled and distressed, and it never solve best

:21:14.:21:18.

price. It really sold her a ticket at the same price she bought it last

:21:19.:21:22.

week. It was a complete and utter disaster. That is how it is for

:21:23.:21:26.

people who are a bit more vulnerable, you need a human being.

:21:27.:21:30.

And how often have I been unable to get the best priced ticket on a

:21:31.:21:36.

Saturday afternoon because the ticket is shut. Then when I get to

:21:37.:21:41.

the platform train has just left and I have 29 minutes to wait for the

:21:42.:21:44.

next one because the franchhse that we have God only offers a h`lf-hour

:21:45.:21:49.

service and on that line in London that is one of the worst services

:21:50.:21:56.

provided on local trains in London. And I believe we are all safer if

:21:57.:22:03.

there is the second properlx trained person on our trains. Who c`n help

:22:04.:22:08.

us if things go a bit wrong and then came back to vulnerable people.

:22:09.:22:14.

Sometimes things do go wrong and you only need one Hobby Lobby two from a

:22:15.:22:20.

rail industry to know that sometimes things can go very wrong on the

:22:21.:22:24.

trains. I've met a young man who's had an accident falling between a

:22:25.:22:28.

train and a platform, he's lost both his legs, and we are talking about

:22:29.:22:33.

making platforms so there is no one looking down the train, no one

:22:34.:22:37.

spotting if someone is having that sort of accident. If only one life

:22:38.:22:43.

is lost or one life is perm`nently changed by that sort of acchdent

:22:44.:22:48.

then we are paying a price luch too high for these economies. Now I have

:22:49.:22:58.

waited a long time for the Labour leadership that believes in the

:22:59.:23:02.

railway and believes in public ownership of the railway. Wd want to

:23:03.:23:07.

move away from polluting personal transport to affordable public

:23:08.:23:10.

transport. Whatever happened to workers tickets that people used to

:23:11.:23:14.

go to get there early in thd morning? Why should young pdople who

:23:15.:23:22.

are on some sort of minimal minimum wage have to work for hours just to

:23:23.:23:27.

pay for the ticket that gets them to work? This is a disgrace. This needs

:23:28.:23:32.

to be a public service. And indeed we need to keep the service in all

:23:33.:23:38.

our service industries. We need to returner Railways to the benefit of

:23:39.:23:43.

its users. We need to develop and improve it and its attendant

:23:44.:23:47.

industries, including train building. How much heavy industry do

:23:48.:23:53.

we still have in this country? We can build trains, we can do that

:23:54.:24:00.

well. Mutch could you wind tp now? And we need to provide a trtly

:24:01.:24:04.

integrated public transport system. Chair, conference, I second.

:24:05.:24:18.

Thank you so much to everybody for those contributions. Can I see all

:24:19.:24:25.

those who wish to speak in the debate. I will start over hdre.

:24:26.:24:31.

Someone waving a red book at the back. A lady with a white coat. And

:24:32.:24:47.

a pamphlet. And the gentlem`n just there with the dark jacket.

:24:48.:25:28.

Conference... Bottle of watdr handy. I want to talk about two pohnts I

:25:29.:25:37.

might take longer than thred minutes, but I've only got three

:25:38.:25:46.

minutes. So can I tell you `bout once upon a time, there was a great

:25:47.:25:55.

British postal system. Post`l workers proud to serve our nation.

:25:56.:26:02.

From lands end to John O'Groats from Belfast to Bangor. One Stam,

:26:03.:26:10.

one price, and a post officd in every community -- stamp. Proud to

:26:11.:26:21.

serve our nation. Sadly tod`y would remains of a public service is

:26:22.:26:25.

closure. They are closing offices, they are stealing our pensions, with

:26:26.:26:32.

a management not willing to listen or invest. That management hs the

:26:33.:26:43.

Tory government, sadly they are the ones that are coming with ldss

:26:44.:26:53.

investment. The management running Scotland, the management of SNP one

:26:54.:27:01.

policy, independence. We have had ten years of independence in

:27:02.:27:09.

Scotland. We had a referendtm two years ago, the Scottish people voted

:27:10.:27:20.

to remain, 55% to remain in the UK. 55%, clear, to remain, this

:27:21.:27:26.

once-in-a-lifetime vote. Wh`t happened after Brexit? Scottish

:27:27.:27:35.

Labour paid the price. SNP sends down 56 Lions, Lions, to represent

:27:36.:27:45.

my nation, my country. Sadlx the lion has fell asleep at the wheel.

:27:46.:27:52.

Since Brexit, we now have a confused SNP, who still want independence

:27:53.:28:02.

from the UK but yet we want European governors. Conference, I didn't want

:28:03.:28:08.

Brexit, you didn't want Brexit, but you have to accept the result and

:28:09.:28:14.

now go forward with that result And I call upon the SNP, stop t`king the

:28:15.:28:24.

last ten years, except the result of the independence vote. Let's get

:28:25.:28:30.

back to business in Scotland. Let's get back to a Scottish parlhament

:28:31.:28:34.

having the powers, the powers to deal with housing, education, give

:28:35.:28:39.

local government the money `nd the hospitals need the money is well and

:28:40.:28:46.

get your hands off the hosphtals. Last week Labour returned,

:28:47.:28:58.

Scotland's convector labour and we welcome gotten back to Labotr. -

:28:59.:29:03.

Scotland is coming back to Labour and we welcome Scotland back to

:29:04.:29:07.

Labour. Finally, my second point, this will be quick... But jtst as

:29:08.:29:15.

important. This Labour Partx, you and I, all under this one roof,

:29:16.:29:22.

remember why you joined the Labour Party. Remember what labour stands

:29:23.:29:29.

for. Work, that is what Labour Party about. If you have one on the left

:29:30.:29:34.

and one on the right and we come together we are stronger, that is

:29:35.:29:39.

the Labour Party we want. Stpport the motion, thank you, confdrence.

:29:40.:30:00.

Gloria De Piero, MP for Ashfield. Conference, today I want to talk to

:30:01.:30:09.

you about the injustice of the Mineworkers pension scheme `nd I

:30:10.:30:15.

want us to send a strong message from this conference that wd won't

:30:16.:30:16.

tolerate it any longer. I stand before you as the fhrst MP

:30:17.:30:27.

for Ashfield to serve with no men working underground. We, as a

:30:28.:30:31.

community, are proud of our heritage and are proud that minors from

:30:32.:30:35.

communities like Ashfield hdlped to power Britain for generations. The

:30:36.:30:45.

miners deserve our thanks and their widows deserve a fair pension.

:30:46.:30:51.

Conference, it's a scandal that the Government takes 50% of any surplus

:30:52.:30:57.

from the mine workers pensions in order to guarantee it. All we ask is

:30:58.:31:01.

the Government to negotiate for a fair share of the risk betwden the

:31:02.:31:07.

miners and the tax payer. It is not much to ask. Today, let's sdnd a

:31:08.:31:12.

message from this conferencd to the miners and their families. Xou need

:31:13.:31:17.

us standing with you in this battle for a fair pension. We will be here.

:31:18.:31:23.

You deserve justice. We won't rest till you get it. You have fought for

:31:24.:31:29.

our movement, now our movemdnt will fight you. Thank you, conference.

:31:30.:31:56.

A proud Port Talbot steel worker for 33 years. Thank you. Speaking on the

:31:57.:32:06.

industrial strategy composite, when they met here a year ago, there was

:32:07.:32:14.

devastating news of closures. We called on the Government to

:32:15.:32:18.

intervene. They fail to act did nothing. The light of the blast

:32:19.:32:22.

furnace went out and thousands lost their jobs and a whole commtnity was

:32:23.:32:28.

devastated. It was nothing short of an act of industrial vandalhsm.

:32:29.:32:33.

Conference, we must never allow this to happen again. Now, no ond is in

:32:34.:32:39.

doubt about the to Port Talbot. Conference, the steel industry is

:32:40.:32:44.

bigger than one site. I am proud to be joined today by steelworkers from

:32:45.:32:52.

some of the others deal sitds in the UK, Corby, Teesside, Scunthorpe and

:32:53.:32:57.

Scotland. The past years we have stood together and fought for our

:32:58.:33:00.

industry. I ask you to pay tribute to them who are with us tod`y. Thank

:33:01.:33:03.

you. APPLAUSE

:33:04.:33:09.

Our fight is when we cannot afford to lose. Losing our steelworks

:33:10.:33:14.

import told will destroy thd community. It is not just the loss

:33:15.:33:18.

of jobs, it is a loss of our identity and sense of purpose.

:33:19.:33:22.

Steelworkers have been the guardians of our industry for generathons Our

:33:23.:33:26.

campaign did not start with a threat to read Kirk, we have been calling

:33:27.:33:31.

for action for years on energy costs, procurement and steel

:33:32.:33:36.

dumping. Conference, I would like to pay tribute to those who have been

:33:37.:33:40.

by our side throughout, espdcially the MPs. Not just grabbing headlines

:33:41.:33:44.

and doing the hard work in Westminster, asking questions and

:33:45.:33:47.

calling for debates and holding government and this is to account.

:33:48.:33:50.

Joining steelworkers calls to save our steel. It has not been dasy

:33:51.:33:56.

getting the Government to act. They may have started to listen. I only

:33:57.:34:00.

wish they started listening a while ago and could save the plants that

:34:01.:34:05.

have gone. That is the pricd of being in opposition. It leaves the

:34:06.:34:09.

powerless to intervene. It leans we see things like the devastation of

:34:10.:34:15.

Redcar, thousands of people losing their jobs, while the Tories are

:34:16.:34:20.

wringing their hands. That hs why we need to work together. For our

:34:21.:34:25.

economy, to work for an indtstrial strategy, to work to win thd trust

:34:26.:34:29.

of all our voters, and to s`ve our steel. Thank you.

:34:52.:35:44.

Afternoon, conference. I wotld like to take this opportunity to pay

:35:45.:35:59.

tribute to our former Labour MP who sadly lost his seat in last year's

:36:00.:36:04.

in an election. I am followhng on on some of the issues that John

:36:05.:36:11.

McDonnell raised this morning about the economy. Conference, wh`t is the

:36:12.:36:17.

purpose of an economy and economic growth? Economic growth is `bout who

:36:18.:36:22.

gets what. Economic growth should be about who gets a reward. Under the

:36:23.:36:30.

Tories, and let's be honest, the Lib Dem also in government, the aim was

:36:31.:36:35.

to ensure the economy benefhted the few. Under Labour, the economy

:36:36.:36:41.

should exist to benefit the many, as John McDonnell said this morning in

:36:42.:36:47.

his switch in emphasis to a more interventionist economy. For those

:36:48.:36:57.

benefits, did the Tories and the Lib Dems in 2010, for whose bendfit did

:36:58.:37:02.

they run the economy? Georgd Osborne and his Lib Dem henchmen at the

:37:03.:37:12.

Treasury, Danny Alexander dhd their best to make the majority worse off

:37:13.:37:18.

and the few better off. How did they do this? Under the pretence of

:37:19.:37:22.

cutting the deficit, they attacked the living standards of manx people.

:37:23.:37:28.

They attacked the public services. They called this austerity.

:37:29.:37:32.

Posterity appears to be for the many, the poor. Cutting public

:37:33.:37:39.

services and not for the few. They cut real income to public sdctor

:37:40.:37:47.

workers, they cut benefits to the disabled, they cut benefits to

:37:48.:37:54.

ordinary families, child benefit. We are seeing a hike in student debt. I

:37:55.:37:58.

can go on but I only have a few minutes. The Labour Party, `s John

:37:59.:38:03.

McDonnell quite rightly said this morning, is the only party that can

:38:04.:38:08.

work in the interests of us. Working the interests of the majority,

:38:09.:38:14.

indeed drew his interventionist economic approach. We are the only

:38:15.:38:18.

party that can reverse the damage done to ordinary people's lhes by

:38:19.:38:22.

the Tories and the Lib Dems. When I heard last week the Liberal leader

:38:23.:38:28.

of the Liberal Democrats conference last week appealing to Labotr voters

:38:29.:38:32.

to vote for them, as they are the only ones who could oppose the

:38:33.:38:37.

Tories, I was shadowed with disbelief at the hypocrisy. --

:38:38.:38:44.

shuddered. For five years, the Lib Dems were willing partners to the

:38:45.:38:47.

Tories in attacking the livhng standards of our people. Let us say

:38:48.:38:58.

to the Lib Dem voters, join us in opposing the Tories. It is the

:38:59.:39:06.

Tories and the Lib Dems who exist to benefit and ensure the economy

:39:07.:39:11.

benefits the few. It is us, as John McDonnell quite rightly said this

:39:12.:39:14.

morning, through the intervdntionist approach, who will ensure a benefit

:39:15.:39:25.

in the economy will benefit the majority. Thank you, conferdnce

:39:26.:39:26.

salaried staff Association `nd first-time delegate, supporting

composite six. Conference, H am very pleased to speak in support of this

:39:59.:40:02.

composite. Over the last 20 or so years, privatisation has crdated an

:40:03.:40:06.

expensive, fragmented and inefficient railway network. It has

:40:07.:40:12.

long since stopped looking to serve the public instead becoming a cash

timetable and the excuse Sotthern use was high levels of staff

sickness. It must be a pretty shoddy employer if you are so setthng your

:41:06.:41:09.

staff will go sick that you can timetable for it. Frankly, Southern

is the Sports Direct of railway operators. We have seen Southern

make millions in profits and take millions of pounds in funds from the

gunmen to continue their attacks on staff. On safety and on service --

:41:37.:41:42.

from the Government. When p`ssengers on Southern thought it could not get

any worse, they have been told they no longer have the right to purchase

:41:47.:41:49.

a ticket to travel from ticket office and will have to wait for

their train, if it turns up all on and understaffed or underst`ffed

of the proliferation of driver only operated trains, and we support the

right of every passenger on our realm network to buy a tickdt from a

:42:27.:42:29.

if there are other people who would like to speak in the debate? OK We

:42:30.:42:36.

have a gentleman there, a l`dy over there, with the blacktop. And there

:42:37.:42:46.

is a lady just at the bottol in a patterned dress and dark cardigan.

:42:47.:42:57.

You, yes! Hello, conference. First-time delegate. I'm so thrilled

:42:58.:43:01.

about the fracking, I cannot tell you. Thank you so much. I al so

:43:02.:43:09.

thrilled. Want to take a le`f out of the book of Jeremy Corbyn PLQs, this

:43:10.:43:16.

is from my 20-year-old son, Freddie. He has asked when will lead a bust

:43:17.:43:24.

the myth that we wreck the dconomy? -- when will Labour bust thd myth.

:43:25.:43:28.

This is still we're hearing on the doorstep as the Tories have made a

:43:29.:43:33.

good job of embedding this false rhetoric. We need a sustaindd

:43:34.:43:37.

campaign to bust the myth on the front foot and not just addressing

:43:38.:43:41.

the subject in defence. We need to put out a clear statement of fact in

:43:42.:43:45.

leaflets and on social medi` exactly how the economic crash happdned We

:43:46.:43:50.

need to highlight that the banking crisis was the mixing of sub-prime

:43:51.:43:55.

mortgages in the general mortgage market commentating in unsustainable

:43:56.:44:00.

debt. This was initiated by the deregulation of the banks and so

:44:01.:44:05.

heralded casino banking, or instigated under Margaret Thatcher's

:44:06.:44:08.

Tory government. We need an effective flow chart of fax in a

:44:09.:44:12.

sustained campaign which highlights the fact that since George Osborne,

:44:13.:44:19.

Cameron and the rest of the Bullingdon Club took office, and

:44:20.:44:23.

despite austerity, the debt has more than doubled. And so it continues

:44:24.:44:28.

under this current Labour Administration. Osborne borrowed

:44:29.:44:32.

more in five years than Labour did in 13. Let's get that message out

:44:33.:44:33.

there loud and clear. Thank you Afternoon, conference. I am the

steelworks which followed Tory government determination not to stop

in providing and rescuing otr package and steel-making in the

:45:32.:45:35.

north-east. We are a small community, around 6000 people. Iron

and steel making is in their hearts and blood. The closure of the plant

:45:42.:45:50.

12 months ago was a massive blow. It affected my community, my town, my

:45:51.:45:54.

friends. Working was not just part of a job or part of the indtstry, it

:45:55.:45:59.

was a way of life. So many people have had their way of life taken

:46:00.:46:04.

away from them. I have only been a Labour councillor since May 20 5th,

:46:05.:46:08.

so the news that steelworks and blast furnace was set to close her

:46:09.:46:15.

ever was a baptism of fire. With Christmas fast approaching, and

:46:16.:46:17.

knowing that families would struggle, I'd talked to my fellow

:46:18.:46:22.

Redcar Labour councillors. That is when the Teesside steel appdal was

:46:23.:46:23.

born. The appeal gathered momentul

:46:24.:46:34.

quickly. Sufficient were thd donations that the appeal w`s able

:46:35.:46:39.

to offer support to over 300 families in their time of nded.

Trade unions were massive and magnificent supporters of the fund,

as were local community grotps, churches, businesses and

Comments, member of Scottish parliament for the Lothian region. I

:48:47.:49:17.

didn't expected to speak it as from Trinidad I had to commit thdm with

:49:18.:49:21.

some words of caution for mx friends here in England and across the UK. A

:49:22.:49:25.

friendly warning to my brothers and sisters. Some people have bden

:49:26.:49:30.

seduced into believing that the Scottish National party are a party

:49:31.:49:34.

of the left. APPLAUSE And a party that is progressive and

:49:35.:49:39.

a party that we should be doing deals with. Let me tell you like it

:49:40.:49:48.

is. A few home truths. Why would the Labour Party ever contemplate the

:49:49.:49:54.

deal with a party that takes a % cut in Scotland's block grant and

:49:55.:49:58.

turns it into an 11% cut for Scotland's councils. Why wotld we do

:49:59.:50:04.

a deal with the party that has cut 130,000 college places for our young

:50:05.:50:11.

people? Why would we do a ddal with the fire setters privatised ferries,

:50:12.:50:17.

the sleeper service and givdn away the ScotRail franchise. Why would we

:50:18.:50:21.

do deal with a party that h`sn't introduced a single progressive

:50:22.:50:26.

economic policy in ten years? And why would we do deal with a party

:50:27.:50:30.

that wants to divide us on the basis of nation instead of uniting us on

:50:31.:50:31.

the basis of our class? Conference, if public services of

:50:32.:50:46.

the civilising force in our society, public services are the glud that

:50:47.:50:50.

binds us together and educate our children, care for the elderly and

:50:51.:50:54.

keep us safe. In Scotland the attainment gap in schools is

:50:55.:50:58.

growing. Our social care system is on the brink and our NHS is under

:50:59.:51:03.

pressure like never before. But last week in the Herald newspaper Nicola

:51:04.:51:05.

Sturgeon said independence transcends all of that. So she said

:51:06.:51:12.

the families struggling to pay their rent and mortgage, the young person

:51:13.:51:16.

on the zero hours contract, the 70,000 council workers who have lost

:51:17.:51:19.

their jobs, it's OK, don't worry about all of that. Independdnce is

:51:20.:51:24.

the answer. Admittedly this, conference, you can't pay your dues

:51:25.:51:30.

with a sole tyre and you can't eat a flag. -- Saltire. So I say to my

:51:31.:51:38.

friends and colleagues across the UK, don't judge the Nationalists by

:51:39.:51:43.

their rhetoric, judge them on their failure to protect our essential

:51:44.:51:47.

services. When the SNP act aggressively they will find

:51:48.:51:50.

themselves in the same lobbx is Labour MPs in the House of Commons.

:51:51.:51:54.

But when they failed to act in government they will find themselves

:51:55.:51:58.

attacked and exposed by Labour in Hollywood. So help us fight back in

:51:59.:52:04.

Scotland. Help us develop a progressive alternative to defend

:52:05.:52:08.

public services and deliver for ordinary working people and help us

:52:09.:52:12.

unite workers from Shetland to lands end because the interest of a worker

:52:13.:52:18.

in Lerwick is the same as the interest of a worker in Cold War.

:52:19.:52:25.

Never forget, unity is strength -- in Cornwall.

:52:26.:52:40.

Thank you, chair. Carol Wilcox, Christchurch, Labour land c`mpaign.

:52:41.:52:55.

Labour governments believe hn public expenditure. They believe in public

:52:56.:53:03.

goods and services. We saw that with the last Labour government, they had

:53:04.:53:08.

a huge task in order to rendw our infrastructure, to the investment in

:53:09.:53:14.

where it had been lacking so much in previous Tory government. And this

:53:15.:53:17.

next Labour government will have to do even more. But we'll havd to do

:53:18.:53:25.

it without the help, not help, without public - private

:53:26.:53:34.

partnership, PFI things. All good public investment increases land

:53:35.:53:46.

values, local land values. Ht can be demonstrated by the Jubilee line

:53:47.:53:52.

extension which cost taxpaydrs 3.5 billion and we know that local land

:53:53.:54:02.

values increased by ?13 billion You can see the same thing happdning

:54:03.:54:07.

with the Crossrail project. Land values are increasing all around

:54:08.:54:21.

there. So the source of the taxpayers should be land, OK? If you

:54:22.:54:30.

had tax on land values he would have a virtuous circle, where increased

:54:31.:54:39.

public investment increases land values, it will then increase the

:54:40.:54:46.

tax take from land value tax, which will then lead to increased public

:54:47.:54:53.

is venture. This is really ` sustainable multiplier effect, as

:54:54.:54:55.

was described by Keynes. APPLAUSE Conference, would probably have time

:54:56.:55:10.

for one more Speaker. I'm jtst Pentiffic the person that jtmped up

:55:11.:55:15.

first. That fact I'm just going to pick the person that jumped up

:55:16.:55:17.

first, with the blue pamphldt. Hi, conference. Conference, I think

:55:18.:56:05.

you would agree the Labour Party has done some great things for the

:56:06.:56:11.

country. Like the NHS, the welfare state and upholding the principal

:56:12.:56:15.

that everyone deserves a second chance. But all of this is ` risk

:56:16.:56:22.

because of a Tory government. One that was decided without thd

:56:23.:56:26.

majority of the people wanthng it. We see more and more people unable

:56:27.:56:30.

to feed their families, unable to find good housing, and stuck in work

:56:31.:56:35.

-based poverty. We need to stop this. From going any further.

:56:36.:56:42.

Otherwise our democracy is `t stake. Our NHS will be destroyed. @nd we

:56:43.:56:48.

will be back to the dark agds of hospital beds in corridors `nd

:56:49.:56:56.

people unable to survive. Wd stop this by winning in 2020. Winning is

:56:57.:57:00.

the way we can really implelent the policies that we want. Like a

:57:01.:57:05.

reliable and affordable railway in the hands of the public. Thd end to

:57:06.:57:10.

exploitative zero hours contracts and the largest house-buildhng

:57:11.:57:15.

projects the Second World W`r. To do this, we need three things. We need

:57:16.:57:23.

unity, principles and activhsm. We need a party that is strong

:57:24.:57:27.

together, the Parliamentary party that respects the leader and the

:57:28.:57:31.

membership's decision to eldct them... APPLAUSE

:57:32.:57:38.

We also need principles and activism. Every single Labotr member

:57:39.:57:43.

needs to get out and convince the public and the electorate that their

:57:44.:57:46.

support and answers lie with Labour and Labour alone. Because, comrades,

:57:47.:57:57.

and the end of the day, our Prime Minister, the members of Parliament

:57:58.:58:02.

and even our leader can go back to their homes knowing that it's warm,

:58:03.:58:09.

with food in the cupboards `nd on the table. And trust in knowing that

:58:10.:58:16.

they have a sustainable pay packets. But the people that really need us

:58:17.:58:21.

most cannot. They are the ones that don't know where the next mdal is

:58:22.:58:26.

coming from. Don't know if they can send their child on that school trip

:58:27.:58:31.

or pay for the bill instead. So please, conference, don't f`il the

:58:32.:58:36.

ones that need us most. Let's become united and leave the revolution for

:58:37.:58:38.

social justice and fairness. Thank you. -- lead the revolution.

:58:39.:58:53.

Conference, Debbie Abrahams, Shadow Secretary of State for Work and

:58:54.:58:58.

Pensions, will shortly be addressing is that before she speaks wd have a

:58:59.:58:59.

video. Good morning. I'm appointed to carry

:59:00.:59:10.

out assessments for employmdnt alone. Can you walk more th`n 1

:59:11.:59:17.

metres? Can you reach your `rm to put something in your top pocket.

:59:18.:59:23.

Can I ask your question? Ard you medically qualified? I had lajor

:59:24.:59:24.

heart attack. Apologies for the lack of stbtitles

:59:25.:00:54.

due to loss of sound. Conference, Debbie Abrahams.

:00:55.:01:19.

Conference, I hope you enjoxed that video as much as I did. We `ctually

:01:20.:01:23.

went to see the film on Sattrday. It is so moving. If I could just, at

:01:24.:01:28.

this moment, bank Ken Loach and the production team for allowing us to

:01:29.:01:36.

show that trailer. -- bank. Conference, it is a real honour to

:01:37.:01:41.

stand here before you as thd party spokesperson for work and pdnsions.

:01:42.:01:44.

My first time on the conferdnce platform.

:01:45.:01:45.

APPLAUSE We live in troubling times. Our

:01:46.:01:59.

problem is often seem insurmountable. When I am f`ced with

:02:00.:02:05.

complexity and difficulty is, I recall wise words. The more, catered

:02:06.:02:10.

something is, the more important it is to define what the simpld truths

:02:11.:02:16.

are. What am I? I am a soci`list. I believe that society if it hs

:02:17.:02:21.

stronger can achieve more when standing together and every citizen

:02:22.:02:26.

has an equal stake in the ftture. It is, to me, a simple truths that a

:02:27.:02:30.

nation aspiring to decency `nd fairness does not punish thd

:02:31.:02:35.

disabled and disadvantaged. It is a simple truths of the wave the

:02:36.:02:40.

Government priorities finances to defend itself. When this Tory

:02:41.:02:47.

government imposes attacks on disabled people and gives t`x breaks

:02:48.:02:55.

to billionaires, their priorities are laid bare. It is, to me, the

:02:56.:03:00.

simple truth that where the dignity of rewarding work is deprivdd to

:03:01.:03:04.

millions through a lack of puality jobs, the rise in zero our contracts

:03:05.:03:10.

and indignities heaped on workforces by the likes of Sports Direct and

:03:11.:03:15.

BHF, and social and economic progress is stunted. It is the

:03:16.:03:20.

simple truth that targeting the most vulnerable in society damagds the

:03:21.:03:23.

least vulnerable. If you have not already read the Richard Wilkinson,

:03:24.:03:33.

Kate Pickett book, please do. It is called The Spirit Level, and it is

:03:34.:03:37.

well worth a read. It shows there is a higher level of infants mortality,

:03:38.:03:46.

lower life expectancy and ldss social mobility. There is shmple

:03:47.:03:51.

truth that evidence -based policy must replace policy -based dvidence.

:03:52.:03:57.

That is why a socialist. All evidence points to another simple

:03:58.:04:00.

truth, by building a societx where the hope of progress is gentine and

:04:01.:04:04.

realistic and not forlorn, where every citizen feels to be an equal

:04:05.:04:09.

participant in our nation and the Government is seen to be working for

:04:10.:04:14.

everyone to create gross, stability and contentment. For all thd warm

:04:15.:04:18.

words of the Prime Minister, it is by her actions we shall judge her

:04:19.:04:22.

foot and she has been a senhor member of government which has

:04:23.:04:26.

chosen to visit austerity on the most vulnerable in society. She has

:04:27.:04:31.

been a senior member in a government that continues to rain down on the

:04:32.:04:35.

education system, ideologic`l reforms with little or no

:04:36.:04:42.

justification. She has been a senior member of government, whethdr number

:04:43.:04:45.

of food banks increased tenfold in four years. Conference, inepuality

:04:46.:04:48.

is not inevitable. We are hdre because we know that change is

:04:49.:04:54.

possible and necessary. There are nearly 4 million children lhving in

:04:55.:04:58.

poverty. Children's charitids are estimating that by 2020, th`t will

:04:59.:05:03.

increase to 5 million. Confdrence, children being in poverty affects

:05:04.:05:07.

not just childhood but the whole picture life chances. The 5 million

:05:08.:05:11.

disabled people living in poverty now, because of extra costs

:05:12.:05:15.

associated with their disabhlity, that is set to increase as ht was

:05:16.:05:26.

the raft of more cuts. Women and the lowest paid remain at high risk of

:05:27.:05:31.

falling into poverty in thehr retirement. This injustice hs being

:05:32.:05:36.

extended to 2.6 million womdn born in the 1950s who have been

:05:37.:05:38.

short-changed by this government, bringing forward the state

:05:39.:05:45.

retirement age. I want to ensure dignity in retirement. Being

:05:46.:05:53.

thankful for the contribution these people have made and continte to

:05:54.:06:02.

make in our society. Conferdnce this government has fostered an

:06:03.:06:05.

insidious culture of fear and blame to justify their programme of cuts.

:06:06.:06:10.

Deliberately attempting to vilify Social Security claimants as the new

:06:11.:06:15.

undeserving poor. I wanted to show that trailer from Ken Loach because

:06:16.:06:20.

I think it epitomises what hs wrong with the current Social Sectrity

:06:21.:06:25.

system. I believe there is ` better way, as there are away. One where

:06:26.:06:29.

Britain is the centre of a new industrial revolution, with

:06:30.:06:33.

industries and technologies as diverse as our people. We nded to

:06:34.:06:39.

invest in our greatest asset, our citizens are nurturing a skhlled

:06:40.:06:41.

workforce and rebuilding thd country. For too long, the Labour

:06:42.:06:46.

market has been dominated bx poor quality jobs, resulting in two

:06:47.:06:51.

thirds of children living in poverty. For in every five people

:06:52.:06:56.

working in low paid jobs now will be stuck in low-paid jobs in tdn years'

:06:57.:07:01.

time. For those unable to work through illness or disability, we

:07:02.:07:05.

need to transform our Social Security system to one which is

:07:06.:07:09.

sufficient, responsive, and provides basic support. Time and agahn, I

:07:10.:07:15.

hear how worthless the systdm makes people feel, even dehumanisdd. For

:07:16.:07:19.

the blast majority people who have paid into it all their workhng

:07:20.:07:26.

lives, this is like a slap hn the face. People feel desperate and have

:07:27.:07:28.

been left destitute and havd even died. I want to change the culture

:07:29.:07:33.

of our security system and how the public sees it. Like the NHS, it is

:07:34.:07:38.

based on the principle of inclusion, support and security for all,

:07:39.:07:42.

assuring us all of our dignhty and the basics of life will be to fall

:07:43.:07:47.

on hard times or become incapacitated. Giving us a hand up

:07:48.:07:51.

and not a hand-out. Work should with pay more than being on soci`l -

:07:52.:07:57.

Social Security. Being in work should not mean living in social

:07:58.:08:01.

poverty and neither should Social Security. The Labour Party has

:08:02.:08:10.

already pledged to get rid of the discriminatory and unfair btrden

:08:11.:08:14.

tax. I want to go further. H want to scrap the discredited work

:08:15.:08:19.

capability assessment and rdplace it with a system...

:08:20.:08:22.

APPLAUSE I will say that again. I want to

:08:23.:08:39.

replace this with a system based on holistic support, one which provides

:08:40.:08:45.

each individual with a tailored plan, with the skills, health, care

:08:46.:08:51.

and transport related. The Government pass map unit of

:08:52.:08:54.

sanctions system must go as well. Job centre plus performance will not

:08:55.:09:00.

just be assessed on how mondy people they get off their books. I want to

:09:01.:09:04.

see disabled people better supported into that work. We will halve the

:09:05.:09:10.

disability employment gap. When we say it, we mean it. We will attack

:09:11.:09:16.

other -- tackle other Labour markets as well. I believe in a fair and

:09:17.:09:20.

just Britain, one where everyone can get on no one is left behind. Labour

:09:21.:09:25.

pulse map policies will delhver prosperity drawl and tackle

:09:26.:09:32.

inequalities in Britain. -- Labour's policies will deliver prospdrity for

:09:33.:09:33.

all. I thank you. Thank you, Debbie. We will now take

:09:34.:09:52.

short item on the workplace 202 and I would like to invite Ian Lavery to

:09:53.:09:55.

address the conference. Colleagues, conference, it hs an

:09:56.:10:10.

absolute privilege to address you here in Liverpool. It is a city with

:10:11.:10:19.

proud Labour and train union traditions. It has a great `nd rich

:10:20.:10:25.

diverse history. It is a city that knows, through its own, painful

:10:26.:10:30.

experiences, what devastation a Conservative government can wreak on

:10:31.:10:40.

its own citizens. Astonishingly incredibly, the Tories are claiming

:10:41.:10:44.

to be the party of working people. They claim to represent comlunities

:10:45.:10:49.

like those here in Liverpool, like those in my native North East, in

:10:50.:10:55.

working villages, towns, and regions across Britain. Comrades,

:10:56.:11:00.

conference, what a call on this is! It is a message we need to get out

:11:01.:11:08.

to everyone in our communithes, this -- the Tories destroyed comlunities

:11:09.:11:10.

that do not support hard-working people. Comrades here in Liverpool

:11:11.:11:17.

and back home in the north-dast right across the country, wd can

:11:18.:11:22.

remember what the Tories did the last time round. We can see what

:11:23.:11:29.

they are looking to do now `nd how they are treating whole swathes of

:11:30.:11:35.

society now. My own history is scarred by the implant of a

:11:36.:11:38.

Conservative government. I come from a town in the north-east, a

:11:39.:11:44.

coalfield in the north-east, built on coal and built around thd pit.

:11:45.:11:50.

Built around the colliery. H joined the miners' strike as a young man,

:11:51.:11:54.

saw the power of government being wielded unceremoniously agahnst its

:11:55.:12:01.

citizens. That changed my lhfe. It left an indelible mark on md as an

:12:02.:12:07.

individual, on my family and on my colleagues and friends. What year it

:12:08.:12:14.

was! It showed the best qualities of men and women in our communhties,

:12:15.:12:20.

the way we banded together for the cause of justice and equality. It

:12:21.:12:24.

also taught me one very important thing. That is, never, ever, trust a

:12:25.:12:31.

Conservative government with the lives of working people.

:12:32.:12:40.

Colleagues... 30 years later, and the Conservatives are back hn power

:12:41.:12:46.

again. They are talking tough on society's ills. In the Government,

:12:47.:12:53.

many people not only do not have employment rights that they feel

:12:54.:12:56.

lucky to get any scrap of elployment or any scrap of work offer. They are

:12:57.:13:03.

expected to accept the crumbs from the table whilst employers `nd

:13:04.:13:07.

shareholders feast on vast profits. 6 million people earn less than the

:13:08.:13:15.

living wage. Young people are stuck at home, unable to live

:13:16.:13:20.

independently, because they do not have a clue when they will be able

:13:21.:13:25.

to work, how much they will earn from week to week. They do not have

:13:26.:13:31.

enough to pay the bills. Allost a million people are now employed on

:13:32.:13:36.

zero our contracts. Whilst the Tories turn the fire on the trade

:13:37.:13:42.

unions, the unscrupulous business practices, such as those revealed at

:13:43.:13:49.

Sports Direct and BHF, have gone unchecked. Colleagues, confdrence,

:13:50.:13:54.

the rotten Sports Direct model of employment must be banished into

:13:55.:13:58.

history. That is something which the party must do immediately.

:13:59.:14:08.

Colleagues, the trade union act received Royal assent on thd 4th of

:14:09.:14:15.

May. It is undoubtedly the lost pernicious legislation passdd before

:14:16.:14:19.

the Commons. It further shrhnks working people's rights in ` country

:14:20.:14:24.

already described as the most restrictive in the Western world. I

:14:25.:14:28.

want to give you a warning. We didn't win entirely with thd trade

:14:29.:14:34.

union Bill. And the Tories will be back to try and implement those

:14:35.:14:40.

concessions they gave at th`t time. We need to be aware at all times

:14:41.:14:45.

that they will be looking to implement some of the worst part of

:14:46.:14:50.

the bill, which they gave concessions at this time. Comrades,

:14:51.:14:56.

what is the Labour Party response? The Labour Party response is

:14:57.:15:02.

workplace 2020. It is a vishon of the future. We want everyond to be

:15:03.:15:08.

part of this. We are working very closely with the trade unions. It

:15:09.:15:13.

will be the biggest discusshon with working people and employers in a

:15:14.:15:17.

generation. It underlines how serious we are about creating

:15:18.:15:21.

workplaces fit for the future. Everyone has a story to tell in the

:15:22.:15:27.

world of work and what it should look like in the future. Workplace

:15:28.:15:33.

2020 is on about focusing on the negatives, it is about focusing on

:15:34.:15:37.

the positives. Many people have positive experiences in the

:15:38.:15:42.

workplace. Many people benefit from apprenticeships, training

:15:43.:15:44.

opportunities, and addition`l support. We want to hear, as the

:15:45.:15:50.

party, from working people, employers, about how we can promote

:15:51.:15:53.

good practice and raise standards in the workplace. We will be travelling

:15:54.:15:59.

around the UK to regions, local communities, because we want to hear

:16:00.:16:04.

at first hand, at grassroots level, what is happening in the workplace.

:16:05.:16:08.

We want to listen to people. We want to work with the trade unions,

:16:09.:16:13.

employees and employers, to create an environment that is fair to all.

:16:14.:16:17.

Conference, we really need xour help in doing so. We need your hdlp to

:16:18.:16:24.

set up meetings in the workplace, local community centres, pl`ces of

:16:25.:16:30.

worship, the club at the pub, even your own backroom, if you fdel that

:16:31.:16:31.

would be appropriate. You can hold a Workplace 2020

:16:32.:16:47.

discussion anywhere, even online, at www.Workplace2020.org.uk. I want you

:16:48.:16:51.

to tell the Labour Party Zachary would you think the future of work

:16:52.:16:54.

should look like. If you go to the Labour Party stand after thd

:16:55.:16:58.

conference session you can pick up the campaign pack and get the

:16:59.:17:03.

leaflet that tells you much more about how to get involved.

:17:04.:17:07.

Colleagues, the Labour and trade union movement is best when we work

:17:08.:17:13.

together. It's best when we are all united. And this is an opportunity

:17:14.:17:18.

to embody the spirit that generations of men and women who

:17:19.:17:23.

have gone before, the great pioneers of our great movement, who have

:17:24.:17:31.

transformed society. We want to learn from the past to build the

:17:32.:17:34.

future. The old adage proudly displayed on many banners rdmains

:17:35.:17:42.

extremely relevant today. Agitate, educate, organise. The parts we

:17:43.:17:46.

inherit the future we build. Colleagues, conference, togdther we

:17:47.:17:53.

can change the world of work. You can be part of that, let's get to

:17:54.:17:55.

work now. Thank you. Thank you, Ian. Conference, I would

:17:56.:18:21.

now like to welcome Jacquelhne Thomas, community union deldgate and

:18:22.:18:22.

a steelworker. Conference, my name is Jacqteline

:18:23.:18:40.

Thomas and I am vice presiddnt of community the trade union, H'm proud

:18:41.:18:45.

steelworker, proud feminist and proud trading it and proud

:18:46.:18:56.

counsellor. I work in South Wales. And Tredegar has done many great

:18:57.:19:00.

things including giving of Nye Bevan, who in turn gave us the NHS.

:19:01.:19:06.

Yet many people from Tredeg`r now live in great poverty. This is

:19:07.:19:11.

because at one time we had over 14,500 people who worked across our

:19:12.:19:24.

valley at the ever fail stedlworks. -- Ebbw Vale still wet. Manx of the

:19:25.:19:30.

local firms provide contracts to the steelworkers closed and as ` result

:19:31.:19:35.

the economy in the whole arda suffered. Now 14 years later Port

:19:36.:19:49.

Talbot faces the same fate. If they close as well the deprivation that

:19:50.:19:55.

exists in Blaenau Gwent will turn into destitution across the South

:19:56.:20:00.

Wales valleys. 62% of the pdople living in Blaenau Gwent votdd to

:20:01.:20:05.

leave despite receiving over ?4 million in EU investment. They voted

:20:06.:20:10.

that way because they want to take back control. They believe the

:20:11.:20:16.

myths, yes, but they were thred of the way the economy was working for

:20:17.:20:21.

them. The funding has been welcome in providing new apprenticeships and

:20:22.:20:28.

transport links that there `re too few many jobs, no local economy and

:20:29.:20:31.

no way for families to give out opportunities for their children.

:20:32.:20:39.

And now the rest of the South Wales valleys are in the same fatd. My

:20:40.:20:45.

family and my friends and so many others face the same hardshhp and

:20:46.:20:53.

heartache. If this, stand b`ck and let industry fade away I drdad to

:20:54.:20:57.

feel what is then to happen. The jobs that do exist in Blaen`u Gwent

:20:58.:21:06.

are often poor, low paid and unsustainable and zero contracts.

:21:07.:21:10.

These steel jobs are good, secure, well-paid, because we have had a

:21:11.:21:14.

hundred years of trade union organisation. That is why the

:21:15.:21:18.

workplace 2020 is so import`nt to areas like mine. At work I `m proud

:21:19.:21:25.

to be a trade unionist for community union, representing steelworkers and

:21:26.:21:30.

I am proud to help the people at work standing up for health and

:21:31.:21:35.

safety and for colleagues rhghts. Workplace 2020 seeks to strdngthen

:21:36.:21:39.

the role of the trade union rights and fight against the Tory `ttacks

:21:40.:21:44.

on employment rights. But wd can only win that fight if we are an

:21:45.:21:48.

electable Labour Party. That reaches out across the country and beyond

:21:49.:21:54.

our base. My local communitx needs a Labour government. My workplace

:21:55.:21:58.

needs a Labour government. @nd, conference, more importantlx, I need

:21:59.:22:04.

a Labour government. I am proud that the workplace 2020 is setting the

agenda for the Labour Party's policy and I hope we go on from here and

:22:11.:22:16.

fight everyday to make sure we set the agenda for the whole of the

:22:17.:22:20.

country and we don't see sale deprivation as I see in my hometown

:22:21.:22:22.

now. Thank. APPLAUSE Thank you very much, Jacqueline I'm

:22:23.:22:39.

now delighted to introduce ` guest Speaker, Scott Courtney, thdse

:22:40.:22:44.

active vice president of thd service employees International union and

:22:45.:22:49.

the inspiration behind the fight for $15 which is led towards more than

:22:50.:22:53.

10 million low-paid workers see their wages double. It is now a

:22:54.:23:00.

global movement, Scott, welcome to Labour Party conference.

:23:01.:23:08.

Thank you very much, good afternoon brothers and sisters, it is truly an

:23:09.:23:14.

honour for me to be here today, particularly to recognise the next

:23:15.:23:18.

Prime Minister of the UK, Jdremy Corbyn. APPLAUSE

:23:19.:23:27.

Jamie and John McDonnell have been with us in this campaign since the

:23:28.:23:32.

beginning days and I have to tell you what that means, but we will be

:23:33.:23:37.

with them until the final d`ys. -- Jeromy and John. We are herd to talk

:23:38.:23:43.

about the crisis facing workers around the world. In what wd are

:23:44.:23:50.

trying to do about it in thd United States particularly with thd Fight

:23:51.:23:54.

for $15. The little about mxself, I grew up in Springfield, Illhnois,

:23:55.:23:57.

the home of Abraham Lincoln and Bart Simpson. It is a town about 300 km

:23:58.:24:05.

to the south of Chicago, working-class town about 100,00

:24:06.:24:12.

people. When I grew up therd there were factories and a whole lot of

:24:13.:24:16.

farms and what we learned about capitalism was a story that was told

:24:17.:24:21.

through two cows. Have you heard this before? Good, it will be view.

:24:22.:24:27.

What we learned was that in traditional capitalism you had two

:24:28.:24:33.

cows, you sell one and by a bull and your herd modifies an econoly goes.

:24:34.:24:38.

You work really hard on one day you sell off your herd and retire on the

:24:39.:24:42.

income. That sound familiar? That is how captain is supposed to work

:24:43.:24:46.

Since then I have learned that there are different versions of c`pitalism

:24:47.:24:49.

depending on where you go. H'll give you the few examples. In Irdland you

:24:50.:24:55.

have the same two cows, you sell one, you expect the other one to

:24:56.:24:59.

produce the milk for cows and then you are surprised when it dhes. In

:25:00.:25:04.

France you have two cows th`t you want three so you go on strhke. In

:25:05.:25:11.

Germany you have two cows, but you re-engineer them said they live for

:25:12.:25:15.

100 years, the once a month and they milk themselves. In Italy you have

:25:16.:25:24.

two cows but you can't find them so you go to lunch. In Switzerland you

:25:25.:25:28.

don't have two cows, you have 5 00 cows. None of them belong to you

:25:29.:25:32.

that you charge outrageous fees to others for storing them. In Japan

:25:33.:25:38.

you have two cows but you rddesign them so they are one tenth the size

:25:39.:25:42.

and produced 20 times the mhlk. You then create clever cow cartoon

:25:43.:25:49.

images and you market them `round the world. Here in Great Brhtain,

:25:50.:25:55.

you have two cows but they're both mad.

:25:56.:26:04.

I'm really glad you laughed. They didn't show me the way out. Let me

:26:05.:26:14.

to how it works in the Unitdd States today. You take the same two cows,

:26:15.:26:19.

you sell three of the publicly listed company. Then you exdcute the

:26:20.:26:25.

debt equity swap Sega four cows back and attack is an ocean for graphics.

:26:26.:26:30.

The milk rights of your sixth cows are then transferred to your Cayman

:26:31.:26:33.

Islands company which sells the rights to seven cows back to your

:26:34.:26:36.

company. The annual report says the company 's own age cows with an

:26:37.:26:42.

optional more say you sell one account, you buy another prdsent in

:26:43.:26:45.

States and the public buys xour bull. That is a little bit dramatic

:26:46.:26:59.

but it is not a lot out of line with what is happening in the US. It is

:27:00.:27:04.

important to note this kind of capitalism does not create ` single

:27:05.:27:07.

job, doesn't drive up wages or create opportunities for workers. It

:27:08.:27:12.

doesn't secure health care H guarantee a decent retirement or a

:27:13.:27:15.

good education for their kids. All it does is further enrich the

:27:16.:27:19.

already too rich, add to thd already overworked flowing covers of

:27:20.:27:25.

corporations and deplete thd already shrinking tax base of the ptblic

:27:26.:27:27.

sector and yet to the date the powers that be are still buxing the

:27:28.:27:31.

bull than the corporations `nd the wealthy are still buying thd bull

:27:32.:27:34.

than the corporations and wdalthy nation in the us continue to make

:27:35.:27:37.

policy decisions based on the premise that the well-being of

:27:38.:27:43.

American workers depends on how much we cuddle corporate giants `nd

:27:44.:27:46.

vegetable with tax cuts and lax regulations. Brothers and shsters,

:27:47.:27:54.

the situation facing workers United states they die. We are loshng

:27:55.:27:58.

ground all of the world but it didn't happen by accident. The

:27:59.:28:01.

quality of living and working standards are not the result of

:28:02.:28:06.

natural economic forces that are beyond our control. The restlt of

:28:07.:28:10.

specific choices our nation has made to get there. And the end of the

:28:11.:28:14.

data to make our economies work for workers what we really need to do is

:28:15.:28:17.

change the choices we make, the choices are nations make and that is

:28:18.:28:23.

what the fight for 15 games today. Yes the Fight for $15 is a lovement

:28:24.:28:27.

to win raises in a union in the fast-food industry and in other

:28:28.:28:34.

industries. To be sure we hope to win a victory at McDonald's because

:28:35.:28:37.

that would have a ripple effect on jobs all across the economy. It

:28:38.:28:43.

would spark a surge among workers wanting to achieve the same victory.

:28:44.:28:47.

It would open the door to r`ising wages across a service economy. It

:28:48.:28:52.

would be an historic win for all of us. Our air traffic controllers

:28:53.:29:00.

moment. A chance to end the decline of workers that started when one of

:29:01.:29:05.

Reagan fired the air traffic control workers Job much like Margaret

:29:06.:29:10.

Thatcher went to war against the miners. Even beyond a victory at

:29:11.:29:15.

McDonald's the Fight for $14 is a movement to fundamentally change our

:29:16.:29:19.

choices and priorities as a nation. Our goal is to change the mhndset

:29:20.:29:24.

that allows politicians to dole out favours for the corporations and the

:29:25.:29:28.

rich at the expense of everxone else. To create an environmdnt in

:29:29.:29:32.

which boosting the purchasing power of workers and consumers, not the

:29:33.:29:36.

financial power of Wall Strdet, is the prevailing strategy for growing

:29:37.:29:41.

the economy. To make it possible for all workers to unite in collective

:29:42.:29:45.

action, to form unions and negotiate for their fair share of the

:29:46.:29:48.

productivity and the wealth that they create. And ultimately to make

:29:49.:29:56.

our nation choose prosperitx and our posterity as a path to a better

:29:57.:30:00.

future and the carnival we want to live in. You don't have to go very

:30:01.:30:03.

far back into the past to sde how things were different in thd United

:30:04.:30:07.

States. Back in spring fed when I was growing up in the 1970s it was

:30:08.:30:11.

still a place where you could get a decent job -- Springfield. Xou had

:30:12.:30:16.

health care, you had a penshon, you could even take a vacation.

:30:17.:30:19.

Eventually you have enough to retire on. No one was rich, none of us own

:30:20.:30:25.

fancy beach houses but workdrs at a union and the American dreal meant

:30:26.:30:30.

you could live a better lifd than your parents and you could dxpect

:30:31.:30:34.

your kids would live a bettdr life than you.

:30:35.:30:39.

Powerful companies and right-wing groups in Washington started to get

:30:40.:30:46.

worried. I am not making thhs up. There are memos from Lewis Powell,

:30:47.:30:50.

who served on the United St`tes Supreme Court. They were worried and

:30:51.:30:55.

scared that the free enterprise system in the United States was at

:30:56.:30:59.

risk and we were getting too close to communism. Imagine that hn the

:31:00.:31:05.

United States of America! So, they came up with schemes to manhpulate

:31:06.:31:09.

the relatively fair system we had in the US at the time by pushing three

:31:10.:31:14.

strategies. They have done this consistently for 40 years.

:31:15.:31:20.

Deregulation, the taxation, demineralisation. That becale the

:31:21.:31:26.

solution for every problem. It eventually spread across thd world.

:31:27.:31:31.

As I have listened today, I hear the same thing here in the UK. Hf you

:31:32.:31:38.

have a budget deficit, you need to deregulate, D tax, D unionise will

:31:39.:31:42.

do if you have a budget surplus it is the same answer. If you have a

:31:43.:31:48.

toothache get rid of the unhons get rid of regulations, and you will

:31:49.:31:51.

feel better. APPLAUSE

:31:52.:31:56.

After four decades of those choices, America is a much different place.

:31:57.:32:03.

Today 64 million Americans lake less than $16 an hour. That is 46% of all

:32:04.:32:07.

workers in the United States. Many tell you what that means. Today the

:32:08.:32:12.

minimum wage in the United States is ?7 25. Working 40 hours a wdek that

:32:13.:32:22.

is 600 bucks a week. You will take home about $1900 for the avdrage

:32:23.:32:27.

cost of a two-bedroom apartlent in the United States is $1100 ` month.

:32:28.:32:31.

You don't have to be a financial wizard to figure out you barely have

:32:32.:32:37.

enough on $15 to pay food, pay for your lights, pay for your hdat, get

:32:38.:32:41.

yourself to work, and paper your rent. That is all it pays for. No

:32:42.:32:47.

luxury. Today in the United States, 64 million workers don't make that.

:32:48.:32:55.

100 million workers in the Tnited States are or near poverty. Tonight,

:32:56.:32:58.

in the United States of America one in five kids will go to bed hungry.

:32:59.:33:01.

We have a completely differdnt type of economy today for that you can

:33:02.:33:05.

see in many industries that once gave people a real shot at the

:33:06.:33:09.

middle-class, if you look at airports and it used to be hf you

:33:10.:33:12.

worked in an airport you work for one of the two or three airlines in

:33:13.:33:16.

the US, no matter if you ard selling tickets or taking tickets wdre

:33:17.:33:19.

driving the aeroplane or serving drinks on the plane. Instead of

:33:20.:33:23.

working for the three or fotr airlines, today you work for a

:33:24.:33:31.

contract of a contractor of a contractor of the airline. Xour

:33:32.:33:33.

four, five, six steps removdd from the real boss and where the real

:33:34.:33:37.

money is. Those jobs in 1974 on the airports, where there was a Grecian

:33:38.:33:45.

wage, -- a decent wage ( and is today they make $7 an hour. It is

:33:46.:33:50.

worse than that in airports. If you push the wheelchair around, you re

:33:51.:33:55.

not allowed to ask for a tip but you are allowed to accept them for the

:33:56.:33:59.

because that you are only p`id to bucks an hour. That is a fact. That

:34:00.:34:06.

is what is like in the US where people had these jobs. Truck

:34:07.:34:10.

drivers, the same story. Virtually every truck driver in the United

:34:11.:34:13.

States was in the Teamsters union. They were not rich, it was hard

:34:14.:34:18.

work. They had a decent lifd. They could make a fair weight. They hoped

:34:19.:34:23.

if they played by the rules, they could get their kids into school and

:34:24.:34:30.

their kid could live a bettdr life. Almost no truck drivers in the

:34:31.:34:33.

United States are in that union today but this did not happdn by

:34:34.:34:37.

accident or that it did not happen because we lacked money. It did not

:34:38.:34:40.

happen because it was a false choice. These are choices and

:34:41.:34:44.

priorities our country made. Last year, to give you a few exalples of

:34:45.:34:50.

some of our choices, last ydar, the money given out in Wall Strdet

:34:51.:34:55.

bonuses, not pay, bonuses, ht was more than the total earnings of

:34:56.:34:58.

every American making the mhnimum wage. That is a choice. Tod`y,

:34:59.:35:08.

corporate profits make it the largest ever share of the United

:35:09.:35:11.

States economy and wages make up the lowest share. That is a chohce.

:35:12.:35:13.

Today, the pay of the average fast food CEO is more than 1200 times the

:35:14.:35:19.

average fast food workers. That is also a choice. Corporations like

:35:20.:35:23.

McDonald's pay so little thdir workers are forced to rely on food

:35:24.:35:28.

stamps and other public asshstance at the expense of taxpayers.

:35:29.:35:35.

Choices. Their low wage, zero hour the high turnover business lodel

:35:36.:35:41.

hurts everyone. Their workers, competitors, suppliers, govdrnments,

:35:42.:35:44.

consumers, and others across the globe. This company operates in 190

:35:45.:35:51.

companies in six continents. 2 million workers. They get a lot of

:35:52.:35:56.

benefits from being a big player. Huge profits. More advantagds and

:35:57.:36:01.

special treatment. Sort of like here in the UK where McDonald's dxtracted

:36:02.:36:07.

?43 million from the Governlent to subsidise apprenticeships, where

:36:08.:36:11.

young workers are paid less than the minimum wage was that is also a

:36:12.:36:16.

choice. Already in the US, `s a result of the fight for 15, the

:36:17.:36:20.

world is changing. The political centre in the US has moved `nd wages

:36:21.:36:26.

are going up all over the country. In 2012, Barack Obama was rd-elected

:36:27.:36:31.

and we had the first strikes in New York City. 180 brave and cotrageous

:36:32.:36:36.

fast food workers walked off their job. When the president was

:36:37.:36:47.

re-elected, he wasn't yet for a $9 minimum wage. They had spent years

:36:48.:36:55.

talking about budget cuts and austerities. Only two Democrats in

:36:56.:37:02.

the entire country worked for eight $10 minimum wage was at that says

:37:03.:37:09.

something. 2012, only two Ddmocrats. Since then we have had 12 strikes.

:37:10.:37:17.

The strikes have expanded from 80 workers in New York City to workers

:37:18.:37:21.

in 330 cities across the Unhted States. In the fight for 15, it has

:37:22.:37:32.

exploded in a broad-based movement for childcare workers and ahrport

:37:33.:37:39.

workers, professors and all kinds of workers joining in. It seems like

:37:40.:37:43.

we're living in an entirely different world. Hillary Clhnton is

:37:44.:37:47.

running for president and she supports $15 an hour.

:37:48.:37:48.

APPLAUSE I have to tell you, it is h`rd to

:37:49.:37:59.

tell where her opponents land on theirs. You guys have probably heard

:38:00.:38:03.

of Donald Trump, the guy with the funny hair. He has taken several

:38:04.:38:09.

positions. He started out in a debate in Milwaukee in Novelber same

:38:10.:38:13.

wages are too high. Then he conceded later on, maybe they need to go up a

:38:14.:38:18.

little bit. Then he said I could probably support something tp to

:38:19.:38:22.

maybe $10 an hour. Listen, don't worry, if you can't keep up with

:38:23.:38:26.

him, he'll probably have a different position tonight when you w`tch the

:38:27.:38:31.

debate, though I hear it is at two o'clock in the morning, so H'm not

:38:32.:38:35.

sure how many of us will be awake. $15 has been adopted as the platform

:38:36.:38:39.

for the Democratic party. That is the law of the land in Seattle, San

:38:40.:38:45.

Francisco, New York, Washington DC and other cities around the United

:38:46.:38:49.

States. Major private sector employers are increasing minimum

:38:50.:38:54.

wages to $15 an hour. The state of Oregon raised its minimum w`ge to

:38:55.:38:59.

$14 75. I still cannot imaghne who we made mad to drop the extra

:39:00.:39:06.

quarter. In Chicago, the picture of a centrist Democrat was the chief of

:39:07.:39:13.

staff to President Obama for that he opposed $9 and 2012. He was running

:39:14.:39:17.

free election last year as the mayor of Chicago. To get re-electdd he

:39:18.:39:21.

supported the drive to get the minimum wage in that city to $1 an

:39:22.:39:26.

hour. In one week alone, television, 10 million people in New York State

:39:27.:39:31.

and California had a minimul wage rates to $15. All told, 20 lillion

:39:32.:39:36.

since we began this campaign. We since we began this campaign. We

:39:37.:39:47.

have also moved the debate. The Washington Post said $14 has

:39:48.:39:54.

gone from Abbas certainly albitious to mainstream in the span of a few

:39:55.:40:00.

years. Fast food workers have managed to rewire how the ptblic and

:40:01.:40:05.

politicians think about wagds. Chris Hayes said, the fight for 14 has

:40:06.:40:09.

entirely changed politics in our country. It is not even just the

:40:10.:40:15.

Democrats. Jeb Bush said millions of our citizens across the middle class

:40:16.:40:19.

feel as if the American dre`m is out of reach the playing field hs no

:40:20.:40:23.

longer fair all level and to many of the poor have lost hope. I would say

:40:24.:40:28.

the message is getting out. The public is also responding to the

:40:29.:40:35.

workers demand for union rights A recent Gallup poll found 58$ of

:40:36.:40:38.

Americans today support unions. That is the highest level in our country

:40:39.:40:43.

in decades. The fight for 14 has also become a global movement. When

:40:44.:40:48.

we had strikes in April, johning the workers from 330 American chties

:40:49.:40:53.

were workers in 40 countries on six continents. We saw massive

:40:54.:40:57.

demonstrations in Brazil, Asia, and across Europe. We have seen

:40:58.:41:02.

victories with our friends `t Unite in New Zealand beating back the zero

:41:03.:41:07.

hours contracts. In the UK, the fast food rights campaign is hophng ramp

:41:08.:41:13.

up the global campaign that is taking on some of the largest

:41:14.:41:16.

corporations in the world. Brothers and sisters, if there is ond,

:41:17.:41:21.

overriding lesson we have ldarned, it is this. If you want people to

:41:22.:41:26.

follow you, if you want thel to take bold action, you have to spdak to

:41:27.:41:29.

the core of what matters most to them. We have to take a strong stand

:41:30.:41:34.

for what is morally right. There is nothing to be gained by str`ddling

:41:35.:41:39.

the centre or seeking middld ground. There is no point...

:41:40.:41:47.

There is no point in trying to ride out the storm or blame upsetting the

:41:48.:41:54.

apple cart. Let's be clear `bout this. If the fight for 15 h`d never

:41:55.:41:59.

come to be, we would not be talking about a $15 an hour wage now. It is

:42:00.:42:02.

not as though it would naturally become the right thing to do, or

:42:03.:42:06.

economists were suddenly gohng to discover new research to support it.

:42:07.:42:11.

To be honest, when we deciddd to put our full support behind the fight

:42:12.:42:17.

for 15, people really thought we were crazy. Some thought it was too

:42:18.:42:20.

much money. A whole bunch thought it was too much money. The verx idea

:42:21.:42:25.

about the movement of money as opposed to justice, equalitx of

:42:26.:42:29.

fairness, it was too crass. The situation is dire and we had to take

:42:30.:42:34.

risks. We had to be willing to stand up to workers outside of our

:42:35.:42:37.

traditional jurisdictions at a time when our own members were htrting.

:42:38.:42:42.

We had to make an investment in taking on one of the largest

:42:43.:42:46.

corporations on the planet with no guarantee of a return on th`t

:42:47.:42:50.

investment. To be clear abott this, the fight for 15 was not an easy

:42:51.:43:00.

decision. It was right, mor`lly politically and strategically. We

:43:01.:43:02.

are doing what Labour is supposed to do, standing up and fighting for the

:43:03.:43:14.

little guy. We have politichans We have politicians moving forward

:43:15.:43:20.

towards us. A whole range of issues matter to our movement, likd

:43:21.:43:22.

stopping police killings of black and brown people. And making sure

:43:23.:43:32.

that no worker has to live hn the shadows. We are in a better

:43:33.:43:44.

position. What is at stake hs a better life for our kids and

:43:45.:43:47.

grandkids. What kind of world we want to leave them. What we do does

:43:48.:43:53.

matter. Together we can change the world. Thank you.

:43:54.:44:33.

Thank you so much for that. You have our very best wishes and good luck

:44:34.:44:41.

for the rest of the campaign. Thank you very much for sharing your

:44:42.:44:42.

story. We have one final speaker for today

:44:43.:45:00.

I always get emotional about this part of conference. The road back to

:45:01.:45:11.

government is a long one. No more so than the one faced by our mdmbers in

:45:12.:45:18.

Scottish Labour. Those are the comrades facing the coal face. The

:45:19.:45:23.

UK party has a lot to learn from these people. They are not just

:45:24.:45:27.

fighting against a Tory govdrnment that wants to divide us by class.

:45:28.:45:31.

They are fighting against nationalists who want to divide us

:45:32.:45:32.

by place. It is not always that easy to

:45:33.:45:47.

campaign in parts of Scotland as geography often works against us.

:45:48.:45:57.

The Scottish Parliamentary results were a crushing blow for thd

:45:58.:46:01.

Scottish Labour Party. They were not reflective of the efforts that those

:46:02.:46:06.

members put into that campahgn. They were not reflective of the puiet

:46:07.:46:09.

determination of the person who lead them. Our leader with a 72% mandate

:46:10.:46:19.

by her members. What Kezia Dugdale does every single day is focused on

:46:20.:46:24.

the issues that matter to the people of Scotland. Unlike her opponents in

:46:25.:46:31.

the SNP. She is a strong vohce for Labour in Holyrood. She has nerves

:46:32.:46:38.

of steel. If you pass the NDC's recommended role changes tolorrow,

:46:39.:46:41.

as I very much hope you will, I know she will be a strong voice for

:46:42.:46:46.

Scottish Labour on our national Executive committee as well. Kezia

:46:47.:46:48.

Dugdale. Afternoon, conference. I have to say

:46:49.:47:08.

to you, last time I was campaigning with Joanna Baxter, it was hn Aaron.

:47:09.:47:22.

She had tripped and fallen `nd had a sore leg. She campaigned all day

:47:23.:47:27.

with a broken leg and the ndxt day it was put in a cast. Let's hear it

:47:28.:47:40.

poured Joanna Baxter. Conference, it is great to be here in Liverpool go

:47:41.:47:44.

in a city with Labour MPs, ` Labour Council and a Labour man. I'm hoping

:47:45.:47:50.

that next year we can celebrate when this city as the first Metro Mayor

:47:51.:47:59.

for Liverpool. Conference, we meet here in Liverpool, united in our

:48:00.:48:03.

determination to make Labour Party of government wants a game. I

:48:04.:48:07.

congratulate Jeremy Corbyn on his victory in the judicial election and

:48:08.:48:10.

I look forward to continuing our work together.

:48:11.:48:18.

Together we will unite our party in Scotland and across the United

:48:19.:48:24.

Kingdom. We will deliver thd change we all want to see. Next ye`r we

:48:25.:48:30.

face elections across the United Kingdom where Labour candid`tes in

:48:31.:48:35.

Scotland, England and Wales will be standing to protect our loc`l

:48:36.:48:38.

services. The elections in Dngland also mark a new stage in devolution

:48:39.:48:43.

for the United Kingdom. It hs long overdue and should not just be the

:48:44.:48:46.

start of a new chapter for the United Kingdom but for the Labour

:48:47.:48:51.

Party. For too long, our politics and our party has been dominated by

:48:52.:48:55.

what happens in the corner of the city of Westminster. Politics

:48:56.:49:01.

happens everywhere. Not just on the green benches of the House of

:49:02.:49:04.

Commons it happens in town halls throughout street corners,

:49:05.:49:05.

doorsteps, and online. We saw that on both sides of the

:49:06.:49:17.

Scottish referendum and EU referendum. It is a party for

:49:18.:49:25.

working people. And for this new age of devolution the mission should be

:49:26.:49:30.

to build our party in every Parliament, National Assembly and

:49:31.:49:40.

Town Hall, in every area of Britain. The route to victory for thd next

:49:41.:49:45.

Labour government will not just run through Westminster but start with

:49:46.:49:49.

success in Edinburgh, Cardiff and the great English cities like

:49:50.:49:54.

Liverpool and Manchester. Wd will only succeed when we connect to

:49:55.:49:58.

every community in the country and never forget that we should be

:49:59.:50:02.

guided by the views and voices of the people we seek to represent In

:50:03.:50:09.

just two at how short years politics in Scotland has been turbo-charged,

:50:10.:50:15.

the European election, the Scottish referendum, UK general election

:50:16.:50:20.

Scottish Parliament referendum and EU referendum, are members have been

:50:21.:50:25.

asked to campaign hard and lake the argument for our politics

:50:26.:50:28.

repeatedly. They have gone out into their communities to make the case

:50:29.:50:31.

for labour and in recent wedks they have one. Just last week I

:50:32.:50:39.

campaigned with our activists in electing the newest councillor Alex

:50:40.:50:44.

McVeigh in a game for Labour from the SNP. When people said the

:50:45.:50:55.

Scottish Labour Party cannot win elections, I say look to our

:50:56.:51:00.

victories around the countrx this summer. Together let us all show our

:51:01.:51:06.

gratitude to the Scottish L`bour activists who have put in a shift

:51:07.:51:10.

over the past two and half xears and made the case for our polithcs and

:51:11.:51:16.

kept alive the vision of a fairer Scotland under Labour.

:51:17.:51:27.

We put a bold and radical plan for government to people across Scotland

:51:28.:51:34.

in the month of May. I was criticised for even suggesthng that

:51:35.:51:37.

Scottish Labour could have ` chance of power. The Tories gave up at the

:51:38.:51:45.

first hurdle. And they chosd to run a campaign for opposition instead.

:51:46.:51:49.

And what a campaign it was. They promised to stand up for thd union,

:51:50.:51:55.

just months after pushing through English votes for English l`ws. They

:51:56.:51:58.

created two classes of MP for the first time. And all this just one

:51:59.:52:06.

year after running a general election campaign that sought to

:52:07.:52:11.

divide the Scots and English. In the very worst type of constitutional

:52:12.:52:16.

vandalism. And then Ruth Davidson missed a strong economy with a Tory

:52:17.:52:23.

government in Westminster and her party put it all at risk with the EU

:52:24.:52:27.

referendum. Now she expects us to look on the bright side, telling us

:52:28.:52:32.

they may be benefits to Brexit. And she did what Scotland could scarcely

:52:33.:52:38.

afford, she used the same dhvide and rule politics of David Cameron to

:52:39.:52:41.

reopen those divisions betwden yes and no. Do not lead Ruth Davidson

:52:42.:52:48.

ever again tell you the union is safe in Tory hands.

:52:49.:53:03.

We did not want to rerun thd arguments of the past. We w`nted to

:53:04.:53:07.

put Scotland's future first. Our belief in this election was clear,

:53:08.:53:15.

to make public service funddd, people need to pay their fahr share.

:53:16.:53:20.

It is an idea rooted in the simple socialist principle, from e`ch

:53:21.:53:23.

according to his ability, to each according to his needs. We put

:53:24.:53:29.

forward a case for progresshve taxation, a penny on income tax and

:53:30.:53:33.

50p tax rate for the most wdll. It is still our policy because with the

:53:34.:53:39.

cuts coming down the track, local government in Scotland is sdt to

:53:40.:53:44.

lose ?1 billion over the cotrse of this Parliament. Our health service

:53:45.:53:50.

is already showing signs of strain as hospitals face cuts or closure.

:53:51.:53:56.

In hospitals in Glasgow, pahnfully as Greenock, services for children,

:53:57.:54:00.

pregnant women and the elderly, are being cut back. When it comds to

:54:01.:54:05.

schools, the Assembly Government continues to refuse to protdct the

:54:06.:54:11.

education budget. I accept what Nicola Sturgeon says about the cuts

:54:12.:54:15.

coming from Westminster, I do not question that. What I questhon its

:54:16.:54:22.

refusal to do anything about it Toonie KeePass on those cuts or even

:54:23.:54:25.

double down on them. Leadership does not mean marching to London to make

:54:26.:54:31.

your point but refusing to take the tough decisions when you ard at

:54:32.:54:33.

home. It does not mean blamhng someone else for your probldms. And

:54:34.:54:38.

it certainly does not mean demanding power and then refusing to `ct.

:54:39.:54:49.

Nicola Sturgeon is the most powerful first ministers Scotland has had. In

:54:50.:54:57.

her hands she has more power than any of of her predecessors to change

:54:58.:55:02.

our nation. But for a woman who is famous for saying yes, her `nswer

:55:03.:55:07.

when you ask her to use the power she has is always no. I'm only

:55:08.:55:14.

asking Nicola Sturgeon to do what she said she has wanted to do her

:55:15.:55:18.

entire political life, make different choices from the Tories,

:55:19.:55:22.

Labour will not sit back and do nothing and that is why tod`y I can

:55:23.:55:27.

announce when the Scottish Government presents a budget to

:55:28.:55:29.

Parliament in the coming months we will place amendments to introduce a

:55:30.:55:34.

50p tax on those earning ovdr ?150,000 and add a penny to income

:55:35.:55:39.

tax to pay for public services. Making decisions for Scotland but

:55:40.:55:42.

the Tories would never make and using the powers which we h`ve

:55:43.:55:49.

argued for. This together whth other tax proposals will enable us to stop

:55:50.:55:51.

further cuts to the public services that we all rely on. With a full

:55:52.:55:57.

range of powers the Scottish Parliament has, the SNP govdrnment

:55:58.:56:01.

faces a clear choice. Accept the Tory budget from Westminster or go

:56:02.:56:07.

our own way. With proposals to grow the Scottish economy, protect

:56:08.:56:12.

schools and hospitals. More and more cuts to the Scottish budget, it

:56:13.:56:16.

harms the growth of our country and risks jobs and the prospects for

:56:17.:56:21.

young people. We need to invest to provide the next generation the

:56:22.:56:27.

chances they need to succeed. If the SNP minority government does not

:56:28.:56:30.

accept these proposals and forces and other austerity budget, we will

:56:31.:56:37.

vote against it. If they want support, they will need to look to

:56:38.:56:40.

the Tories for that. Labour will not help the SNP pass an austerhty

:56:41.:56:44.

budget on our watch. Labour fought for devolution in the

:56:45.:57:00.

first place, so Scotland cotld set its own direction inside thd UK And

:57:01.:57:06.

with Labour, we won the Scottish Government to be a force for change

:57:07.:57:11.

in our land. That is what L`bour governments do, when they'rd at

:57:12.:57:17.

their boldest best. We keep our eyes fixed on the future, we embrace

:57:18.:57:21.

modern ideas that lead to ndw jobs and invest in new technologx and

:57:22.:57:25.

keep our country at the leading edge. In 1945 the government of

:57:26.:57:32.

Clement Attlee said let's f`ce the future and on the day Donald Dewar

:57:33.:57:36.

over the Scottish Parliament he said that place was a voice to shape

:57:37.:57:41.

Scotland, a voice for the ftture. He was right. So many of the greatest

:57:42.:57:45.

achievements of this countrx have been because of Labour governments

:57:46.:57:48.

and we should be proud of them. They need to inspire us, drivers forward.

:57:49.:57:54.

That means having answers to the challenges of the future and

:57:55.:57:57.

responding to the changes in our economy. But today the Scottish

:57:58.:58:02.

Parliament debating Chamber is more likely to be alive with deb`tes

:58:03.:58:06.

about the constitution than with ideas that will shape the 20st

:58:07.:58:12.

century. It frustrates and `ngers me that the SNP government closed

:58:13.:58:18.

itself from progressive language, it did not match it with action. They

:58:19.:58:22.

said we would abolish counchl tax and replace it with a fairer system,

:58:23.:58:28.

then they got cold feet. In 201 Nicola Sturgeon said she supported a

:58:29.:58:32.

50p tax rate and a year latdr when she had the chance to do it in

:58:33.:58:39.

Scotland, she did a U-turn. All of this time passing on Tory btdgets

:58:40.:58:42.

and then doubling the cuts when they are passed on to our communhties. Do

:58:43.:58:47.

not be fooled. Do not allow the will to be pulled over your eyes. A party

:58:48.:58:52.

of the left does not choose to do nothing in the face of rising

:58:53.:58:56.

inequality. It does not makd decisions that deny college places

:58:57.:58:59.

and opportunities to working class people. It does not say it will

:59:00.:59:04.

protect services before the election and then stand back when thdy are

:59:05.:59:09.

threatened with closure soon after. Here is what a progressive

:59:10.:59:12.

government will do, it will ask the witches to pay their fair share so

:59:13.:59:17.

we can protect public services and invest in our children's future

:59:18.:59:29.

I do not doubt Nicola Sturgdon's passion for our country. But when

:59:30.:59:36.

the choice is presented between independence or progress, she will

:59:37.:59:42.

always choose independence. Here is what she said just a week ago.

:59:43.:59:49.

Independence transcends the shoes of Brexit, of all, of national wealth

:59:50.:59:52.

and balance sheet. Can you believe it is too Socialist, knows xou need

:59:53.:59:59.

an economic strategy to match the politics but in the face of a ? 0

:00:00.:00:05.

billion hole in our Public `ccounts, a gap that would mean savagd cuts to

:00:06.:00:09.

public services, Nicola Sturgeon only has one answer for top

:00:10.:00:11.

nationalism. That is not progressive, th`t is

:00:12.:00:22.

blind faith. In the course of the last two years, independencd has

:00:23.:00:25.

gone from being the remedy to all of Scotland's problems to being a less

:00:26.:00:30.

risky option. The lead at Westminster now says that the

:00:31.:00:33.

downside of independence has to be acknowledged and their only member

:00:34.:00:38.

of the Commons Treasury comlittee says that independence would mean

:00:39.:00:40.

five years of cuts to get the Scottish but it back into lhne. In

:00:41.:00:45.

the rush to find a way throtgh Brexit, Nicola Sturgeon has been

:00:46.:00:51.

forced to face both ways, to simply use -- to please supporters and

:00:52.:00:54.

steer the country through a tough time but she needs to get b`ck to

:00:55.:00:58.

those bread and butter issuds. Scotland faces enough risk `nd

:00:59.:01:02.

uncertainty about the reckldss gamble from the Tories. We do not

:01:03.:01:07.

need the risk and uncertainty of another independence referendum and

:01:08.:01:11.

that is why we will vote ag`inst any proposal for a second indepdndence

:01:12.:01:13.

reference in this Parliament. CROWD CLAPPING

:01:14.:01:27.

As we faced negotiations to the future of our public servicd, we

:01:28.:01:31.

cannot afford the Government to take the ion the ball. With so m`ny

:01:32.:01:35.

challenges facing Scotland hn the future, we should not return to the

:01:36.:01:40.

divisions of the past, my mdssage to Nicola Sturgeon is this. First

:01:41.:01:43.

Minister, our country is re`dy divided enough. Do not divide us

:01:44.:01:45.

again. -- already divided enough. Conference, I'm an optimist, the

:01:46.:02:03.

past few years may have tested my optimism but I believe in otr people

:02:04.:02:08.

and in our Labour politics, we have weather testing times beford, both

:02:09.:02:13.

as a country and as a party. It s because I'm an optimist that I

:02:14.:02:17.

believe we can be better. Politics in Scotland is full of life, but it

:02:18.:02:24.

is also polarised. Our country is divided in a way we can scarcely

:02:25.:02:28.

afford, the challenge to us is to show our optimistic politics can

:02:29.:02:32.

again change the lives of working people across our country. That we

:02:33.:02:37.

can face the future with hope and spell out the real change wd want to

:02:38.:02:41.

see in people's lives and wd can be movements, a party and government

:02:42.:02:46.

again which puts our values into practice. By the strength of our

:02:47.:02:50.

common endeavour, we achievd more than we achieve alone. It is not an

:02:51.:02:56.

empty promise. It's a guide for building a better nation. Conference

:02:57.:03:05.

here in Liverpool, let us rdsolve to unite our values, to rediscover our

:03:06.:03:09.

radical roots and be again what so many people in Scotland and across

:03:10.:03:14.

Britain wants us to be, the greatest fighting force for progress that

:03:15.:03:17.

this country has ever known. Thank you.

:03:18.:03:47.

Thank you so much. Now we are going to take the vote on the economic

:03:48.:03:55.

debate before everybody rushes out of the room. Can I firstly take the

:03:56.:04:01.
