General Election Party Election Broadcasts: Labour

Britain has voted for Brexit and we are leaving the European Union.

The question is what kind of Brexit it's going to be.

The Tories want a mandate for a Brexit which will put jobs at risk.

Labour's plan for Brexit puts living standards and communities first.

People across Britain are wary of politicians saying one thing

and doing another so when a Tory leader asks

for a landslide majority, we need to ask ourselves why.

Is it really for the national interest, as she claims?

Or because she wants to force through a Brexit

that benefits the rich and big business?

Of course, negotiating Brexit will be tough.

Some in Brussels will try to seize their chance to gain

at Britain's expense so we will need to be firm

and fight for the best deal for Britain.

But if we expect the Tories to stand up for us, we need to think again

cos the party that closed down huge chunks of British industry

under Margaret Thatcher hasn't changed its spots.

Just ask the steelworkers in Teesside.

When they faced closure, the Tories let them down.

There's a choice in this election between a Labour Brexit

that will put jobs first or a Tory Brexit

geared to the interests of the City

that would plug Britain into the race to the bottom

on wages and public services.

And with nearly half of all our exports going to Europe,

there's a lot at stake.

Britain needs maximum access to Europe's single market

to protect hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Labour's Brexit team is ready to fight for us in Brussels.

Labour wants a "jobs first" Brexit

and to guarantee and expand the rights and protection

British workers have secured through EU legislation.

Labour will not allow our country to be worse off as a result of Brexit.

Leaving the EU will mean the end of free movement of workers

between Europe and Britain.

But Labour won't allow EU citizens already settled here

to be used as a bargaining chip,

just as they will fight for British citizens living in Europe.

Labour's new rules for managing immigration will be fair

and based on what's best for the economy.

The choice in this election is not between Brexit or no Brexit.

That issue is settled.

The choice is who we trust to fight for our future.

And what sort of country we want Britain to be.

Labour has a plan to transform Britain.

A Labour government will invest in infrastructure and new industries.

It would develop a high-skill, high-wage economy

and build new trading partnerships.

Under Jeremy Corbyn, Labour will build a fairer Britain.

A Britain for the many.

Not the few.
