3:32:46 > 3:32:49When I think of what we used to do in the north-east -

3:32:49 > 3:32:52there was shipbuilding, the steelworks.

3:32:52 > 3:32:56The lack of hope among the people is there,

3:32:56 > 3:32:59the feeling that nobody cares.

3:32:59 > 3:33:04The Valleys of South Wales have also got the same massive deprivation.

3:33:04 > 3:33:06There's no coalmines in the Yorkshire area,

3:33:06 > 3:33:08Lancashire, Scotland.

3:33:08 > 3:33:11All are the same and facing the same problems and issues

3:33:11 > 3:33:13that we face in this community.

3:33:13 > 3:33:16It was a place that was vibrant.

3:33:16 > 3:33:20It was a place where everybody cared for everybody else.

3:33:20 > 3:33:24It was cleaner, because we all worked together.

3:33:25 > 3:33:26It was brighter.

3:33:26 > 3:33:30We don't want these communities to keep on dying on their feet.

3:33:30 > 3:33:34Let's get some money into them, let's reinvigorate them.

3:33:34 > 3:33:38This is our chance, this is our last chance.

3:33:38 > 3:33:42Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party can do it for us,

3:33:42 > 3:33:45and I know they will.

3:33:45 > 3:33:48Please take that chance and go out and vote.

3:33:48 > 3:33:51We've got the zero-hour contracts now,

3:33:51 > 3:33:55which are really blackmailing people,

3:33:55 > 3:33:59because if you're an agency worker you're not...

3:33:59 > 3:34:02You know, if you say, "I can't turn up for work today..."

3:34:02 > 3:34:06You know, you're blackmailed into saying, "If you don't turn up today,

3:34:06 > 3:34:09"then we're not going to give you any work."

3:34:09 > 3:34:11The conditions are very bad.

3:34:11 > 3:34:15I was taken on as self-employed, delivering parcels,

3:34:15 > 3:34:20and the conditions was terrible, because you had to wait to the

3:34:20 > 3:34:24night before and wait for a text to see if you were on a shift

3:34:24 > 3:34:26or if you weren't on a shift.

3:34:26 > 3:34:30So you had to wait for them to get in contact with you

3:34:30 > 3:34:33to see if you were going to be out the next day working or not.

3:34:33 > 3:34:37I'm an electrician, I mainly work on the building sites in the city,

3:34:37 > 3:34:40any large industrial site, office block refurbs.

3:34:43 > 3:34:46I get work constantly just through agencies.

3:34:46 > 3:34:48Agency is the only way I can get work now.

3:34:48 > 3:34:52That means that I've no employment rights, I can be laid off

3:34:52 > 3:34:56any time, I don't get overtime rates of pay.

3:34:56 > 3:34:58I'm a care worker.

3:34:58 > 3:35:00We don't get paid for our travel.

3:35:00 > 3:35:02Yeah?

3:35:02 > 3:35:05We go from client to client. We're out from, let's say,

3:35:05 > 3:35:08eight in the morning. We could be out till nine at night.

3:35:08 > 3:35:11But we are only doing, like, maybe five jobs.

3:35:11 > 3:35:16Everybody, whatever their contract, will have equal rights at work -

3:35:16 > 3:35:19sick pay, holiday pay and a real living wage.

3:35:19 > 3:35:22We will end zero-hours contracts.

3:35:22 > 3:35:25No-one will be forced into bogus self-employment.

3:35:25 > 3:35:30The minimum wage will be a real living wage of £10 an hour.

3:35:30 > 3:35:33But the big news will be the National Investment Bank.

3:35:33 > 3:35:36This will bring sustainable industries and secure jobs

3:35:36 > 3:35:40to the areas that have been neglected for far too long.

3:35:40 > 3:35:44No matter how you measure it, no other European country

3:35:44 > 3:35:46has the kind of inequality we have.

3:35:46 > 3:35:49There is nowhere else in Europe where the rich are so greedy,

3:35:49 > 3:35:51where they take such a large share of everything there is to be

3:35:51 > 3:35:53shared out.

3:35:53 > 3:35:55Our education system is the most unequal education system

3:35:55 > 3:35:57in Europe.

3:35:57 > 3:35:59Our housing has become the most expensive in Europe

3:35:59 > 3:36:01for the lowest-quality housing.

3:36:01 > 3:36:05We have some of the lowest-paid jobs and the most precarious jobs

3:36:05 > 3:36:07and the lowest rights.

3:36:07 > 3:36:10Nowhere and no-one should be held back.

3:36:10 > 3:36:15Labour will bring real jobs, security and hope.

3:36:15 > 3:36:18And we'll make a fairer society, too.

3:36:23 > 3:36:26CHILDREN LAUGH

3:36:26 > 3:36:29SIRENS BLARE

3:36:35 > 3:36:37We shall have a fair tax system.

3:36:37 > 3:36:39No tax increase for the great majority,

3:36:39 > 3:36:42but the richest will pay their share.

3:36:42 > 3:36:45A fairer society is happier, more united, more efficient.

3:36:45 > 3:36:48Labour does not accept food bank Britain,

3:36:48 > 3:36:51where the most vulnerable are driven into poverty

3:36:51 > 3:36:54and many more have a struggle to get by.

3:36:54 > 3:36:57Don't be put off by some of the trivia in the media

3:36:57 > 3:36:59in this election.

3:36:59 > 3:37:01Labour stands with you, the people.

3:37:01 > 3:37:04Let's work together, so that all can live with security,

3:37:04 > 3:37:07in peace and dignity.

3:37:07 > 3:37:09We have one short, precious life.

3:37:09 > 3:37:12We should all have the chance to make the most of it.
