Hi, I'm Alex, I'm a former school governor, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
I'm a trade unionist and I'm a working woman, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
and I'm under no illusion | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
that the next few weeks are going to be tough. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
This is going to be a general election unlike any other. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
The people of Wales are angry. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
They're angry at the damage being done to their communities | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
by the Tory cuts, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
they're angry at being ignored by the Tories in Westminster | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
and they're angry at being ignored by a UK Tory government | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
that just doesn't care about the people of Wales. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
But now we've got a chance to change things, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
because here in Wales, Welsh Labour are showing | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
exactly what difference can be made when in government, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
and under Carwyn Jones' leadership, Welsh Labour is united. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
At this general election, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
Welsh Labour's offering five bold pledges to the people of Wales. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
A Wales where everyone can earn a decent wage... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
We promise to protect living standards | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
and create better jobs closer to home. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
A Labour government in Westminster | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
will introduce a real living wage of £10 per hour, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
and invest in infrastructure, skills and new technology. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
A Wales where everyone has access to top-class health care, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
always free at the point of use... | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
We know that with a Labour government in Westminster, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
there'll be more resources for Wales | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
and more stability in NHS and social care. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
With Labour in Westminster, we can work together across borders | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
to give the NHS a bright future - | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
unlike the Tories, who tells fibs about health care in Wales, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
smearing the hard-working staff | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
and dragging politics into the gutter. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
A vision where every child achieves their potential | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and has the best start in life... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
We'll give all children the opportunity to achieve. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
We're committed to protecting free school breakfasts, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
and we're going to invest an additional £100 million | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
to further improve school standards in Wales over this Assembly term - | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
and that bill's on our record. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Because GCSE results have never been higher in Wales, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
more children than ever are getting a passport to success. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
We've cut the attainment gap for the poorest pupils at every key stage. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
There will be no grammar schools or free schools in Wales. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
We want every school to be a great school, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
and a fair deal for all our children, with none left behind. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
A Wales where our streets are safer... | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
We know that community safety is one | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
of the country's top priorities, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
and so, a Labour government will | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
deliver 853 new police officers | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
in our communities in Wales. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
A Labour government will also give | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
stronger rights to victims, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
again building on the innovative | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
work we're doing here | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
on crime prevention | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
and tackling domestic violence. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Good jobs, good schools, good hospitals and good homes. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
We're going to provide more affordable homes to rent and buy. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
We've committed to deliver | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
20,000 more affordable homes, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
and we're putting roofs over people's heads | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
in communities across Wales, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
and these are the pledges that we'll be taking to the doorstep | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
in the coming days, these are the things people care about. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
We've got to send the strongest possible group of Welsh Labour MPs | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
to Westminster on June 8th - | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
and the only anti-Tory vote in this election is a vote for Welsh Labour. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
It's down to us to stop the Tories walking all over Wales - | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
and I know there's Welsh Labour, led by Carwyn Jones, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
that's standing up for communities like mine and yours. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
I'm proud of my community, I'm proud of my country, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
and I'm proud of Welsh Labour's record. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
That's why, on June 8th, I'm voting Welsh Labour. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
So, to everyone in Wales who believes in a fair deal, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Welsh Labour is united to halt the Tories in their tracks, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
to put fairness and decency back into government in Westminster. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
With your support, we can fulfil that promise, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
and we will stand up for Wales. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
