Today, we launched our manifesto in Bradford. That manifesto sets out a

:00:12.:00:19.

very clear path for this country. Either we can continue going down

:00:20.:00:26.

the road of low investment, greater inequality, greater poverty, more

:00:27.:00:31.

homeless people, more food banks, more debt, more young people

:00:32.:00:34.

underachieving, more schools where headteachers are told the solution

:00:35.:00:38.

to the problem is to collect from the parents to pay the teachers's

:00:39.:00:44.

salary, or we can do things differently we could instead say,

:00:45.:00:49.

95% of those will not pay any more in tax, VAT or National Insurance,

:00:50.:00:56.

but those with the broadest shoulders, will be asked to pay a

:00:57.:00:59.

little more. CHEERING

:01:00.:01:08.

So that we can establish a national investment bank to ensure a fairness

:01:09.:01:12.

of investment the manufacturing and service industries. An investor

:01:13.:01:20.

transport into structure but all parts of Britain, not just under the

:01:21.:01:22.

selfies. CHEERING

:01:23.:01:28.

I say that as someone who represents a London consistent. Bass macro not

:01:29.:01:32.

just London and the south-east. I understand the unfairness of all of

:01:33.:01:35.

this. Your rail lines need upgrading just like those all over the country

:01:36.:01:41.

do. That is why we will set up a national investment bank regionally

:01:42.:01:46.

based so there is a fairness in the distribution of those funds all over

:01:47.:01:48.

the country. CHEERING

:01:49.:01:58.

Then, you look at all the other things and issues we face,

:01:59.:02:06.

fundamentally are on the society. We are discovering a couple of

:02:07.:02:09.

subjects, in education I'm utterly fed up with the way in which school

:02:10.:02:14.

funding formulas is so unfair. It tends to be the poorer schools in

:02:15.:02:20.

the poorest places with the poorest children achieve the less because

:02:21.:02:22.

they received the least. CHEERING

:02:23.:02:33.

And so we will change that and ensure there was proper funding

:02:34.:02:40.

balls calls. And, -- proper funding for all schools. I want all our

:02:41.:02:45.

children to be properly fed. A child coming into school and we found it

:02:46.:02:52.

hard to concentrate and so is less likely to succeed in primary school.

:02:53.:02:57.

Leaving primary school without all the skills they should be equipped

:02:58.:03:02.

with, less likely to do well in secondary school, less likely to do

:03:03.:03:07.

a levels or any other qualification, less likely to go to college or

:03:08.:03:13.

university. That means a poor child growing up in poverty does not get

:03:14.:03:19.

to be the teacher, the engineer, the doctor, the lawyer or to achieve

:03:20.:03:24.

what they want in their lives. Two people lose because of that, one is

:03:25.:03:28.

that child who has not achieved what they want in life, their ambitions

:03:29.:03:33.

the other people who lose are all of ours.

:03:34.:03:36.

CHEERING Because I'm at that point child...

:03:37.:03:43.

-- that bright child did not get to be the doctor or lawyer or what they

:03:44.:03:49.

wanted to be. They underachieved in life. I'm utterly, utterly

:03:50.:03:53.

determined that we will fund our schools properly, pay our teachers

:03:54.:04:02.

probably. We will not force them to leave with stress levels that are

:04:03.:04:08.

unbearable. And we will make sure that every child gets a good lunch

:04:09.:04:13.

every day during primary school. CHEERING

:04:14.:04:21.

APPLAUSE And, I am sure you will agree with

:04:22.:04:25.

me that we'll share this, learning is about English, maths, science and

:04:26.:04:33.

geography and history. They are all crucial and important

:04:34.:04:39.

subjects, but it is also about unlocking the creativity and

:04:40.:04:41.

imagination that the... CHEERING

:04:42.:04:47.

It is about learning about our communities and our life. It is

:04:48.:04:51.

about being part of a wider community. The great African saying

:04:52.:04:58.

is, it takes a child to bring up... It takes a village to bring up a

:04:59.:05:03.

village. It takes a child educate a village.

:05:04.:05:06.

LAUGHTER That is the philosophy that will be behind it and I'm very proud

:05:07.:05:10.

of what we're doing there. Also, we're going to introduce pupils art

:05:11.:05:17.

premiums of every child in every school can learn a musical

:05:18.:05:19.

instrument. CHEERING

:05:20.:05:25.

APPLAUSE And before some incredible expat

:05:26.:05:28.

writer of one of broadsheet papers tells all this is in the Mee or

:05:29.:05:35.

necessary and excessive I would say this, you do well at music media

:05:36.:05:40.

were maths, you do well at music you do well at maths.

:05:41.:05:43.

They are not that far apart, science, music, arts. Let's bring

:05:44.:05:51.

them together. We also have other challengers, students going into

:05:52.:05:59.

university, those who want be nurses held back because the government has

:06:00.:06:03.

cancelled the nurse bursary. I was talking to a group of nurses and was

:06:04.:06:08.

the last week, they had decided to go into nursing and done other jobs,

:06:09.:06:13.

they wanted to go into nursing, brilliant, because they bring in

:06:14.:06:16.

that life experience into nursing. That is great. But, they told me

:06:17.:06:21.

they could only do it because they had got the nurse bursary to help

:06:22.:06:26.

them through the training. The Tories cancelled it, therefore there

:06:27.:06:30.

will be a shortage of nurses, therefore we will have difficulties

:06:31.:06:34.

in the NHS. A Labour government, and June nine will bring it back.

:06:35.:06:39.

CHEERING -- a Labour government on June nine

:06:40.:06:47.

will bring it back. As one who has been in Parliament and been around

:06:48.:06:50.

long enough to remember the days when going to university was a

:06:51.:06:55.

choice not something you would approach with trepidation because

:06:56.:06:57.

you wondered what would happen in the future, we have looked at it,

:06:58.:07:02.

we've gone through it very carefully and we're utterly determined to get

:07:03.:07:06.

rid of student fees so that everybody can go to university.

:07:07.:07:09.

CHEERING APPLAUSE

:07:10.:07:18.

These are things are all very important, what is also important is

:07:19.:07:22.

the way in which we approach the other issues that are facing so

:07:23.:07:26.

many. I am constantly angry and shocked by

:07:27.:07:31.

the number of people I meet in all our towns and cities who are

:07:32.:07:35.

sleeping rough, who are homeless. Those that have suffered all kinds

:07:36.:07:39.

of problems in their lives and are sleeping rough. What is it with

:07:40.:07:45.

modern Britain, modern Tory Britain, that somehow or other we just

:07:46.:07:51.

condone it, we except it is one of those things? Sorry, it is not, it

:07:52.:07:55.

is not always been like that will stop so, we will have a housing

:07:56.:08:00.

strategy that does support the homeless and make sure that everyone

:08:01.:08:02.

has... APPLAUSE

:08:03.:08:11.

In many ways, those that are both sleeping, homeless, or a symptom of

:08:12.:08:17.

the problem of a country that has not developed enough secure,

:08:18.:08:23.

lifetime tenancy council housing that has not ensured that those who

:08:24.:08:28.

wanted to buy get a chance because the deposits are too high or the

:08:29.:08:32.

income to low, and those that are living in the private rented sector

:08:33.:08:36.

in some parts of the country paid far too much, in all parts of the

:08:37.:08:41.

country are living in an insecure way and an insecure place. Next

:08:42.:08:47.

week, in banning, we will launch our comprehensive housing strategy to

:08:48.:08:52.

support the homeless to give them somewhere to live. -- next week in

:08:53.:08:57.

Birmingham. We will be building homes in five-year 's, half of which

:08:58.:09:04.

will be council housing. We want to ensure that those who want to buy

:09:05.:09:07.

will be able to. CHEERING

:09:08.:09:16.

I do not measure the success of a housing policy by the number of

:09:17.:09:19.

big-time investors that buy luxury homes in London and the south-east

:09:20.:09:24.

and keep them empty while the prices rise and sell them on about them

:09:25.:09:28.

ever being used. There was something offensive about places being kept

:09:29.:09:31.

empty well there are people with no homes. And it will be different, it

:09:32.:09:40.

will be a very different philosophy! And, it is also the world in which

:09:41.:09:47.

we live, our generation are faced with the issues of climate change,

:09:48.:09:52.

environmental destruction and sustainability, I have a very strong

:09:53.:09:59.

you on all of this, I want a government that develops an energy

:10:00.:10:05.

policy where 60% of our power is generated from renewable sources.

:10:06.:10:06.

APPLAUSE CHEERING

:10:07.:10:10.

I want to lead a government that does pay respect to the natural

:10:11.:10:16.

world and our ecosystem and does play its part in understanding and

:10:17.:10:20.

supporting global emission agreements and doing everything we

:10:21.:10:24.

can to protect this planet on which we all live.

:10:25.:10:29.

So, you will find a government that is serious about environmental

:10:30.:10:34.

policies, and politics and serious about sustainability, because we

:10:35.:10:38.

need to leave this plant in a better state for our children and

:10:39.:10:40.

grandchildren... CHEERING

:10:41.:10:51.

All of this is not romantic optimism, what it is is serious

:10:52.:10:57.

about people's lives, about our communities and serious about how we

:10:58.:11:02.

invest in our economy. That is where I started my contribution here

:11:03.:11:08.

today. It is also about what we do to convince people, between now and

:11:09.:11:13.

June the 8th, how they will vote and what's choice they will make. Since

:11:14.:11:18.

this campaign started I have now done 41 events all around the

:11:19.:11:23.

country, the numbers of people coming are enormous and if you look

:11:24.:11:26.

around yourselves at this crowd here today, we're young, where old, with

:11:27.:11:33.

black with white women, women and we are every part of our community. --

:11:34.:11:40.

we are young, we are old, we are black, we are white, we're women, we

:11:41.:11:48.

are men. Some things you can legislate to include health, to

:11:49.:11:51.

improve education, you can spend money to improve housing, you can

:11:52.:11:57.

invest to improve our economy, you can do many of those things, what we

:11:58.:12:03.

can also do is understand the crises that people go through. I'm proud of

:12:04.:12:07.

the section of our manifesto and mental health.

:12:08.:12:11.

CHEERING -- I am proud of the section of our

:12:12.:12:15.

manifesto on mental health. I spoke to a man about his own problems and

:12:16.:12:19.

his own life and what he was turned to do about it and what he was

:12:20.:12:24.

trying to do to help others. Just as much as those people that are living

:12:25.:12:30.

difficult lives, with mental health, waiting months to get support, they

:12:31.:12:34.

need help and we need a mental health service that works for them.

:12:35.:12:38.

CHEERING We also need to recognise that those

:12:39.:12:49.

that rely on pensions in the old age need the security of a triple lock.

:12:50.:12:53.

We will guarantee the triple lock for all pensioners. This is

:12:54.:12:59.

something that the Conservatives and the Liberals are not doing. We also

:13:00.:13:07.

recognise the way in which the women, have been so-so changed by

:13:08.:13:14.

this government. I am determined by the -- I'm determined by the end of

:13:15.:13:18.

the period of the Labour government, this will not be a society ridden by

:13:19.:13:24.

unnecessary poverty and underachievement, but will instead

:13:25.:13:27.

be stronger communities, stronger public service is and more efficient

:13:28.:13:33.

economy that works for all with a real living wage for all of ?10 an

:13:34.:13:35.

hour. CHEERING

:13:36.:13:45.

Nine of this -- none of this will be achieved if you are not registered

:13:46.:13:50.

to vote and don't vote. It will not be achieved if we don't ensure that

:13:51.:13:53.

we are gaining constituencies we don't hold at the moment. This place

:13:54.:13:59.

is historically beyond belief in political terms. The political

:14:00.:14:03.

battles of here go back hundreds years or more. I've read much of the

:14:04.:14:07.

history of it. I've not got time to give you all of that now.

:14:08.:14:12.

LAUGHTER In the steps of those that went before, to gain a victory, the

:14:13.:14:17.

Justice, the social justice, the decent housing, decent health and a

:14:18.:14:23.

decent society, I invite you all to get behind Velma, work with her,

:14:24.:14:29.

knock on those doors. CHEERING

:14:30.:14:41.

On June nine, we will know the good news that this area once again,

:14:42.:14:48.

returns to the Labour filed with the Labour MP to represent you.

:14:49.:14:49.

CHEERING Velma and has a copy of the

:14:50.:15:12.

manifesto, which I will hold up. -- Thelma.

:15:13.:15:16.

APPLAUSE For the many, not the few. That is

:15:17.:15:21.

our slogan, our watchword, our message. That is our inspiration. Go

:15:22.:15:31.

for it! APPLAUSE

:15:32.:15:42.
