:00:16. > :00:21.This is a constituency of enormous importance to the future of the
:00:22. > :00:25.United Kingdom. The election on the 8th of June is going to be about
:00:26. > :00:28.what kind of country we are. Are we to imagine on the 9th of June how
:00:29. > :00:34.things might be for places like this? If Therese of May records the
:00:35. > :00:40.kind of landslide victory that Margaret Thatcher recorded in the
:00:41. > :00:43.1980s. Imagine what that might mean for our hospitals and schools and
:00:44. > :00:47.imagine especially what it might mean for our older people. On this
:00:48. > :00:53.day of all days, we will discover if you or your loved one has dementia,
:00:54. > :00:57.Theresa May is coming for you. A dementia tax on people around this
:00:58. > :01:01.country is utterly heartless and born out of the fact that Theresa
:01:02. > :01:07.May assumes that the election is already won. We look at what happens
:01:08. > :01:10.to health and social care in this country and the Liberal Democrats
:01:11. > :01:14.are being honest with you, will if we want the best health and social
:01:15. > :01:19.care in the world, we will have to pay for it. We will ask each of you
:01:20. > :01:23.to put a penny on income tax to pay for the best health and social care
:01:24. > :01:30.anywhere. Something you can rely on for your future. On the 9th of June,
:01:31. > :01:34.there will still be plans by the end of this academic year for two out of
:01:35. > :01:39.three headteachers in this country to sack at least one teacher by the
:01:40. > :01:44.beginning of the new term. Theresa May has no doubt, she is planning to
:01:45. > :01:49.do with schools as she is already doing with hospitals. That is why
:01:50. > :01:54.winning here is so important. If Theresa May wins with a land slide,
:01:55. > :01:58.she will assume she has a mandate for the dementia tax and the
:01:59. > :02:02.hospital cuts and to take out teachers from our schools. If you
:02:03. > :02:06.want to make sure you are not taken for granted, you must vote for the
:02:07. > :02:10.Liberal Democrats. It went very well. The opportunity to set out to
:02:11. > :02:18.the country that we don't need to accept the bleak direction that the
:02:19. > :02:22.extreme version of Brexit will lead towards for our children. It is an
:02:23. > :02:26.opportunity to challenge the Prime Minister, she called this election
:02:27. > :02:30.and then chose not to turn up, that shows a complete lack of respect for
:02:31. > :02:34.the people she is expecting to put her back in number ten. I was
:02:35. > :02:39.pleased to set out my case that the Britain I love is not lost yet. If
:02:40. > :02:44.you believe the people should have the final say on the Brexit deal,
:02:45. > :02:50.the Liberal Democrats are for you. Your message has been about the
:02:51. > :02:54.dangers of a hard Brexit, you haven't had the Lib Dem fightback
:02:55. > :03:00.you promise, will that change? We have three weeks where many people
:03:01. > :03:03.have felt that given that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour have just gone on
:03:04. > :03:09.with Theresa May's plan for an extreme version of Brexit, the UK
:03:10. > :03:13.provision, that all is lost. The Liberal Democrats are giving fresh
:03:14. > :03:17.hope that things can end differently and that if you believe you should
:03:18. > :03:21.have the final say on the referendum and the Brexit deal and not the
:03:22. > :03:35.politicians, the Liberal Democrats are your only hope. How do you
:03:36. > :03:38.defend it to people to say they are being penalised? People on higher
:03:39. > :03:42.tax rates and receiving benefits, it is right when you are trying to
:03:43. > :03:46.balance the books that you look at those payments and see if you can
:03:47. > :03:49.spend them differently. The Conservative plans elsewhere are
:03:50. > :03:53.utterly heartless. The ending of the triple lock and the pension
:03:54. > :03:56.guarantee, the Liberal Democrats brought that to government, it means
:03:57. > :04:03.the poorest paid pensioners will end up back in poverty thanks to Theresa
:04:04. > :04:06.May. Even worse than that, is the dementia tax that Theresa May is
:04:07. > :04:11.introducing. What she is now proposing is that if your husband
:04:12. > :04:15.has dementia and has to go into a nursing home, your family home will
:04:16. > :04:20.have to be cashed in to pay for it. If you have dementia or one of your
:04:21. > :04:23.loved ones does, trees make this coming for you. We must fight
:04:24. > :04:38.against it, the Liberal Democrats are absolutely to term and to keep a
:04:39. > :04:42.cap what it costs. The 2017 general election is in front of us. We have
:04:43. > :04:47.the key speeches from the main players in full and uncut. As well
:04:48. > :04:55.as the big campaign events. Don't miss the big moments. Pure politics
:04:56. > :04:57.from the UK's only dedicated politics channel.
