:00:29. > :00:37.APPLAUSE. He is a man for the many of this
:00:38. > :00:45.country, not the few! APPLAUSE.
:00:46. > :00:56.I went to school, I failed the 11-plus. She wants to go back to it.
:00:57. > :00:59.And she'll take the money from the state schools and put them into the
:01:00. > :01:07.private schools and build the grammar schools. That is not what we
:01:08. > :01:18.believe in. That is not fair. The other one that swung it for me.
:01:19. > :01:20.She's so vicious, she wants to (inaudible)
:01:21. > :01:36.She wants a return to foxhunting. I'll tell you what, we stopped it
:01:37. > :01:50.before, we'll stop it again. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:01:51. > :01:56.This man said, I wanted to talk about politics, I want to talk about
:01:57. > :01:59.pensions, I want to talk about the children. That's what we're about,
:02:00. > :02:04.that's what the future is about, a fair Britain. So the man who will
:02:05. > :02:06.replace this woman as the Prime Minister, here we have Jeremy
:02:07. > :02:27.Corbyn! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:02:28. > :02:39.Thank you. Thank you very much. I come to Scarborough bearing a gift.
:02:40. > :02:44.And it's a gift of Eric for Scarborough and Whitby.
:02:45. > :02:51.APPLAUSE. Thank you very much, Jeremy. Hes the
:02:52. > :02:57.manifesto that's going to put Jeremy in Parliament and be our next Prime
:02:58. > :03:02.Minister, as was said, for the many, not the few. Thank you.
:03:03. > :03:06.APPLAUSE. Eric, thank you and thank you all
:03:07. > :03:12.for being here today. What a fantastic crowd. And do you know
:03:13. > :03:15.what, this I think is the 52nd event I've done since this election
:03:16. > :03:19.campaign began and do you know what, each rally gets bigger than the
:03:20. > :03:23.last! APPLAUSE.
:03:24. > :03:28.I can't imagine why that would be. It's obviously the fine weather here
:03:29. > :03:33.in Scarborough, it's obviously the great venue, it's obviously the
:03:34. > :03:38.great beach and the sea. I can't understand why there are not more
:03:39. > :03:41.people swimming. But this is a constituency that we want to win.
:03:42. > :03:47.That's why we're here. APPLAUSE.
:03:48. > :03:54.Thank you very much. We will win it, is that agreed? Yes. Eric is the man
:03:55. > :03:57.to do it. That is why we are here and travelling all over the country
:03:58. > :04:01.doing these meetings and rallies, because we want to put that message
:04:02. > :04:09.out to everybody in every single part of the country, what the
:04:10. > :04:14.choices are in this election. T choices need to be discussed and
:04:15. > :04:26.debated. The choices need to be put under scrutiny. I have no problem
:04:27. > :04:30.with that. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister continues to decline going
:04:31. > :04:34.into any debate or taking any questions from the public as a
:04:35. > :04:42.whole. I think that is wrong in an election. An election is about
:04:43. > :04:47.debate and is about choice. And today presented something as if it
:04:48. > :04:51.was a U-turn which I'm interested in because yesterday I suggested they
:04:52. > :04:57.either do a hand brake or a U-turn or something useful on social care.
:04:58. > :05:01.So it's a kind of triumph of spin over reality when you announce
:05:02. > :05:06.you're doing a U-turn, you read what she's actually said and it's exactly
:05:07. > :05:12.the same as what they said last week but they're pretending it's
:05:13. > :05:16.something different. The reality is this. There are one million people
:05:17. > :05:21.in this country, many of them are very frail older people, many with
:05:22. > :05:30.disabilities, learning difficulties, who need social care. There is many
:05:31. > :05:33.waiting for it. Because it's not there, because it's inadequate, many
:05:34. > :05:38.can't be discharged from hospital because there's nowhere for them to
:05:39. > :05:41.go, and too often, families have to make enormous sacrifices and it's
:05:42. > :05:45.unfortunately usually the women who end up giving up work in order to
:05:46. > :05:49.care for people who ought to be cared for by all of us.
:05:50. > :05:56.APPLAUSE. And so...
:05:57. > :06:01.We are not making false promises. What we will do is immediately put
:06:02. > :06:03.in ?2 billion to plug the funding gap in the current crisis in social
:06:04. > :06:12.care. APPLAUSE.
:06:13. > :06:17.So that those in desperate need do get the care they need and deserve.
:06:18. > :06:23.That's what we will do straightaway. And then we will build our NHS, our
:06:24. > :06:26.social care, our mental Health Services, so they're fit for the
:06:27. > :06:33.needs of the people of this country. We've been reduced to the idea of
:06:34. > :06:36.the corridor nurse in a hospital. We are going through a mental health
:06:37. > :06:40.crisis in this country. A quarter of us will go through some kind of
:06:41. > :06:46.mental health crisis during our lifetime. Being told to wait six
:06:47. > :06:50.months before you get an appointment to an expert or somebody can give
:06:51. > :06:55.you therapy, while 6,000 mental health nurses have lost their jobs
:06:56. > :07:02.in the NHS. You're looking at a Government that's got its priorities
:07:03. > :07:04.totally and completely wrong in comparison to other people in our
:07:05. > :07:14.society. APPLAUSE.
:07:15. > :07:19.So whilst they would rather further reduce corporate taxation, further
:07:20. > :07:23.reduce the tax burden of the very wealthiest in our society, we have a
:07:24. > :07:30.different approach, a totally different approach. That is not to
:07:31. > :07:35.place that tax cost on 95% of the people of this country, but to place
:07:36. > :07:38.that tax cost where it should always have been, on the biggest
:07:39. > :07:39.corporations and the wealthiest within our society.
:07:40. > :07:54.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And then they have the that mayorty
:07:55. > :07:58.to say, well, it's erm all the fault of the young people, it's all the
:07:59. > :08:02.fault of the old people, it's always somebody else's fault. I'll tell you
:08:03. > :08:06.what, we are not getting into this game of blaming generations. I'm not
:08:07. > :08:11.blaming the young for being young, I'm not blaming the old for being
:08:12. > :08:17.old, I'm saying to the older generation, you make a fantastic
:08:18. > :08:20.contribution to our society. You don't deserve...
:08:21. > :08:25.APPLAUSE. You don't deserve the injustice that
:08:26. > :08:29.the WASPI women have been through, you don't deserve to have
:08:30. > :08:34.uncertainty about social care or the National Health Service and you
:08:35. > :08:40.don't deserve to be leading a lonely life because society is apparently
:08:41. > :08:45.passing you by. What we have to develop is that inclusive approach
:08:46. > :08:51.to our society where we do fund and guarantee pensions and social care
:08:52. > :08:58.for those who need it. We also look at the younger generation. Is it the
:08:59. > :09:01.fault of children now going to school that there is insufficient
:09:02. > :09:06.money being paid by the Government towards their schools? Is it share
:09:07. > :09:13.fault there was a banking crisis in 2008? Why should head teachers be
:09:14. > :09:16.put through what is frankly the indignity of having to collect money
:09:17. > :09:29.for parents in order to sustain the school budget. That is simply wrong.
:09:30. > :09:33.Too many of our children are in super sized or oversized classes,
:09:34. > :09:35.too many live a life of poverty and are not achieving what they should
:09:36. > :09:40.in primary school, therefore they don't go on to achieve in secondary,
:09:41. > :09:44.therefore they don't achieve their ambitions in life. A child who
:09:45. > :09:48.doesn't achieve their ambitions in life does not become the doctor, the
:09:49. > :09:54.engineer, the teacher, the nurse, whatever it is they want to achieve.
:09:55. > :09:57.They obviously lose out individually, of course, but do you
:09:58. > :10:01.know what, we all lose, we don't have that doctor, we don't have that
:10:02. > :10:09.engineer, we don't have that nurse, we don't have that teacher. I see
:10:10. > :10:13.spending on education, spending on preschool, spending on secondary,
:10:14. > :10:17.spending on university as an investment for all of us, for all of
:10:18. > :10:28.us. APPLAUSE.
:10:29. > :10:31.And so it's very clear, hungry children don't learn very well and
:10:32. > :10:37.too many of our children turn up to school hungry. Parents relying on
:10:38. > :10:43.food banks, even people in work relying on food banks in modern
:10:44. > :10:48.low-paid Britain. So immediately we will introduce a free school meal
:10:49. > :10:59.for every primary school in England for every child to get that meal
:11:00. > :11:06.together. And John and I have just come from Hull and I did say to the
:11:07. > :11:10.people of Hull that amongst its many fine exports is John Prescott, so
:11:11. > :11:14.thank you Hull. We have launched our cultural
:11:15. > :11:20.manifesto there. A manifesto which is about creating a culture fund for
:11:21. > :11:27.the whole country to support our local theatres, support our local
:11:28. > :11:32.museums and Scarborough, you have that fantastic artistic tradition.
:11:33. > :11:36.The theatres, the music, the entertainment and the creativity
:11:37. > :11:41.that's there. But do you know what, in every child, there is enthusiasm.
:11:42. > :11:49.In every child, there is creativity, there is imagination. Isn't it up to
:11:50. > :11:54.all of us to unlock that imagination and so one proposal that I'm very
:11:55. > :11:59.proud of, very, very proud of, is the introduction of a pupil arts
:12:00. > :12:02.premium so that every child in every school can learn a musical
:12:03. > :12:11.instrument. APPLAUSE.
:12:12. > :12:15.And then, as you go on, we all want our children to achieve, get the
:12:16. > :12:21.skills, go on to university, make the best of their lives. But, but so
:12:22. > :12:26.many are put off by the cost, so many are put off by the debt, so we
:12:27. > :12:34.are going to do a number of things. One, we are bringing back the
:12:35. > :12:39.educational maintenance allowance. So people aren't deterred to stay on
:12:40. > :12:44.in school or college. Secondly, and it's a big demand, it's a big issue
:12:45. > :12:49.and we have discussed it very carefully and we've costed it as
:12:50. > :12:56.well equally carefully, we want to end the tuition fees system in our
:12:57. > :13:00.universities so that no-one is deterred from going to university.
:13:01. > :13:06.APPLAUSE. And in areas where only 15, 20% of
:13:07. > :13:10.the young people go to university, I want those figures to rise. I want
:13:11. > :13:16.all of our young people who're able to and Ben from it from and want to
:13:17. > :13:21.two to university to have that chance -- benefit from.
:13:22. > :13:24.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. We'll also support those through the
:13:25. > :13:28.return of the maintenance allowance at university. So, this election is
:13:29. > :13:33.about all of those things. But it's also about the kind of economy in
:13:34. > :13:36.society we want to live in. Six million people in modern Britain
:13:37. > :13:41.earn less than the living wage. One million are on zero hours contracts
:13:42. > :13:45.not knowing from day-to-day if they're working or not, waiting for
:13:46. > :13:48.that text message, not knowing what their income will be, not knowing if
:13:49. > :13:55.they're going to be able to pay their rent at the end of the week or
:13:56. > :13:59.month. It's simply not right. Why can't we instead have a living wage,
:14:00. > :14:03.a living wage that is really a living wage? That's why we put the
:14:04. > :14:07.figure in there of ?10 per hour as a real living wage.
:14:08. > :14:17.APPLAUSE. And also rights at work from day one
:14:18. > :14:19.because we have employment laws in Britain that are frankly inadequate
:14:20. > :14:23.and getting worse under this Tory Government.
:14:24. > :14:28.So we put all these things together as an opportunity and a right, but
:14:29. > :14:33.it's also about what we do as a country and with our economy. I'm
:14:34. > :14:39.fed up with the imbalance of investment, fed up with the needs of
:14:40. > :14:43.some parts of the country being left behind. When John was in Government,
:14:44. > :14:46.he did everything he could to improve devolution, to improve
:14:47. > :14:49.decision-making at a local level. I've talked a lot with him about
:14:50. > :14:54.this and we are going to develop that. But, we are also going to set
:14:55. > :15:00.up a national investment bank which will invest to all parts of the
:15:01. > :15:05.country, will invest in the infrastructure we need, good quality
:15:06. > :15:10.railway lines, Broadband, improved transport connections and be
:15:11. > :15:12.prepared to invest in sustainable, high-tech cutting-edge technology to
:15:13. > :15:19.strengthen our economy for the future.
:15:20. > :15:23.Because it's the future of everybody that's so important important and so
:15:24. > :15:27.there will be negotiations with the European Union. I understand that. I
:15:28. > :15:33.understand the result of the referendum. I accept the result of
:15:34. > :15:35.the referendum and I want a Labour Government to negotiate tariff-free
:15:36. > :15:39.access to the European market, protection of the rights we have
:15:40. > :15:45.achieved and protection of the EU nationals so we have a process and a
:15:46. > :15:49.policy that sustains and defends the manufacturing industry jobs we have
:15:50. > :15:52.all over this country that rely on trade with Europe. These are serious
:15:53. > :16:02.times and serious issues. We are not going to threaten the
:16:03. > :16:06.rest of the world of turning this country into some kind of tax haven
:16:07. > :16:12.on the shores of Europe to threaten everybody else. I want an economy, a
:16:13. > :16:17.society in Britain that doesn't glory in the levels of grotesque
:16:18. > :16:20.inequality in Britain, but instead a government that is determined to
:16:21. > :16:27.deal with inequality, deal with injustice, deal with poverty, deal
:16:28. > :16:33.with all those things! And it's about the world we leave behind in
:16:34. > :16:39.the future, how we protect our seas, how we protect our forests, how we
:16:40. > :16:44.protect our coastline, how we sustain our natural environment on
:16:45. > :16:49.which we live. So in this Labour manifesto, this Labour manifesto has
:16:50. > :16:54.been put very carefully and carefully and properly costed. It
:16:55. > :17:00.offers, I believe, something very different to those offered by other
:17:01. > :17:05.parties. We offer a good public services, we offer a good education.
:17:06. > :17:12.We offer a health service worthy of the name. But above all we offer the
:17:13. > :17:18.idea that everyone of us matters. We are young, we are old, we are white,
:17:19. > :17:21.we are black, we are gay, we are straight, we are all kinds of people
:17:22. > :17:29.in society. CHEERING APPLAUSE
:17:30. > :17:35.A blame culture gets you nowhere, our culture of inclusion, a culture
:17:36. > :17:39.of respect, a culture of support means as society becomes stronger.
:17:40. > :17:43.It was that great Labour government before I was born that gave us the
:17:44. > :17:49.national health service after the Second World War because they
:17:50. > :17:56.believed in the principles of inclusive sustainable society. It's
:17:57. > :18:03.the election of 2017, the election of 2017 that says we want to develop
:18:04. > :18:10.our country fit for the 21st-century. We don't pass by on
:18:11. > :18:16.the other side in life, we look out for and support each other. So why
:18:17. > :18:23.should we have a government that passes by on the other side, to the
:18:24. > :18:28.homeless, the children who are not properly fed, the small businesses
:18:29. > :18:36.struggling to survive, to those that want to change and improve their
:18:37. > :18:41.lives? I am fed up with a government that can only cut expenditure on the
:18:42. > :18:44.National Health Service, cut expenditure on social care, cut
:18:45. > :18:49.expenditure to local government. I am fed up with that kind of
:18:50. > :18:54.government. I think it's time to do something different. So we will be
:18:55. > :19:01.chasing down those who think it is clever to put their money in tax
:19:02. > :19:04.havens. We will not be handing 60 billion to the richest in our
:19:05. > :19:10.society at the expense of the Buddhist. With Labour you will get a
:19:11. > :19:17.government that generally works for and carers for all. I simply say
:19:18. > :19:24.this, it is now coming up to 3:30pm. At midnight is the last moment to
:19:25. > :19:30.register to vote. Over 2 million people, mainly young people, have
:19:31. > :19:32.already registered since this election was announced. CHEERING
:19:33. > :19:39.APPLAUSE So if any of you here have not voted
:19:40. > :19:46.the lead back registered to vote, I am asking you to go straight to your
:19:47. > :19:58.phone, get online, do it now and register to vote. Because it is your
:19:59. > :20:03.future. And we received some criticism in some of the media I
:20:04. > :20:08.believe, and I believe some of it is sometimes personal against good
:20:09. > :20:14.friends of mine and even myself. But I tell you this, I haven't got time,
:20:15. > :20:24.energy or inclination to get in the gutter with that kind... CHEERING
:20:25. > :20:30.APPLAUSE Because our energies are totally
:20:31. > :20:35.focused on winning this election on June eight. So I would like all of
:20:36. > :20:40.you who are watching or listening today, joining our campaign but I
:20:41. > :20:43.invite all of you to do all the things we always do at elections
:20:44. > :20:50.where we deliver pamphlets, knock on doors, talk to people, that is
:20:51. > :20:54.absolutely crucial. But what is also crucial is the atmosphere in which
:20:55. > :21:03.the election is conducted. The voice of the future! What is also crucial
:21:04. > :21:08.is that debate, the discussion you have in the cafe, in the pub, on the
:21:09. > :21:16.bus or the train, anywhere you go, have that discussion. This election
:21:17. > :21:22.is a choice, a choice between a party that glories in inequality,
:21:23. > :21:26.that glories in tax relief at the top end, that pretends somehow or
:21:27. > :21:31.other everything is working when everyone who is on frozen wages,
:21:32. > :21:35.everyone is waiting at the hospital queue, everyone is waiting to get
:21:36. > :21:40.decent housing, all of those that are waiting for that chance to make
:21:41. > :21:47.the best of their lives, the choices there. I invite all of you to come
:21:48. > :21:49.together, for the many, not the few! Thank you very much! CHEERING
:21:50. > :22:00.APPLAUSE
