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. |
