3:27:40 > 3:27:42The Conservatives say the economy's doing fine,

3:27:42 > 3:27:45but that's not how it feels to most people.

3:27:45 > 3:27:48The economy may have been working for big business,

3:27:48 > 3:27:50but it hasn't been working for the majority of people.

3:27:50 > 3:27:53The NHS and social care are on the brink of collapse,

3:27:53 > 3:27:56and for the first time in a generation,

3:27:56 > 3:27:59the Tories are cutting the funding for our schoolchildren.

3:27:59 > 3:28:01It doesn't have to be this way.

3:28:01 > 3:28:04Here are a few examples of how Labour is investing

3:28:04 > 3:28:07to make people's lives better.

3:28:08 > 3:28:11Right here in Sheffield, we have a housing crisis,

3:28:11 > 3:28:14but this Labour council has done something about it -

3:28:14 > 3:28:18we've actually built the first council houses in over 30 years.

3:28:18 > 3:28:22Haven Court is a new £9 million state-of-the-art facility

3:28:22 > 3:28:26developed by South Tyneside's Labour council to support our

3:28:26 > 3:28:30elderly population, particularly those suffering from dementia.

3:28:30 > 3:28:33Here in Leicester, we've created new apprenticeship programmes

3:28:33 > 3:28:36and paid work placements, helping over 1,200 young people

3:28:36 > 3:28:39get valuable experience in the workplace,

3:28:39 > 3:28:41to learn new skills and to secure good jobs.

3:28:41 > 3:28:44Northumbria Police have suffered the worst cuts

3:28:44 > 3:28:46of any police force in the UK.

3:28:46 > 3:28:50Labour promised that they would keep neighbourhood policing,

3:28:50 > 3:28:53so that people could see individuals they trust,

3:28:53 > 3:28:55and they've done that.

3:28:55 > 3:28:57We've not just built any council house,

3:28:57 > 3:28:59we've built homes that are fit for the future,

3:28:59 > 3:29:04homes that address fuel poverty and homes that people can afford.

3:29:04 > 3:29:06Rather than occupying a hospital bed,

3:29:06 > 3:29:10those who need long-term support can live at Haven Court

3:29:10 > 3:29:12in a safe and secure environment,

3:29:12 > 3:29:16providing much-needed reassurance for their families and loved ones.

3:29:16 > 3:29:19By investing and working with business,

3:29:19 > 3:29:21we've unlocked millions of pounds of new investments,

3:29:21 > 3:29:24creating hundreds of new jobs for local people.

3:29:24 > 3:29:26That's the difference Labour can make.

3:29:26 > 3:29:30Despite the hideous cuts of the Tory government, Labour here in Sheffield

3:29:30 > 3:29:34is making a difference, and it's helping address the housing crisis.

3:29:34 > 3:29:37Northumbria Police have the highest satisfaction rate

3:29:37 > 3:29:38in the whole country.

3:29:38 > 3:29:42Labour has, therefore, made lots and lots of difference

3:29:42 > 3:29:44to thousands of people round here.

3:29:44 > 3:29:48When it comes to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities,

3:29:48 > 3:29:53Labour can be relied upon to deliver and make a real difference.

3:29:54 > 3:29:57That's what Labour is doing across our country -

3:29:57 > 3:30:00taking action to improve the lives of millions of people.

3:30:00 > 3:30:03In the coming weeks, people will have the chance to vote
