All across the country, millions of families are waking up to a Britain | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
in which they find it harder to get on. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Whilst the Government keeps telling people everything is fixed, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
many are finding that hard work | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
no longer stops the pound in their pocket getting smaller, or the bills | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
getting harder to afford. Under David Cameron, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
gas and electricity bills have increased by more than £300 | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
for an average family, whilst the energy companies | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
are making huge profits. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Meanwhile childcare - not a luxury but an essential | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
for millions of working families - gets harder to find | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
and more expensive. Under David Cameron, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
the cost of a nursery place has risen 30%, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
and there are 500 fewer Sure Start centres | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
and 35,000 fewer childcare places. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Whilst claiming to be cutting taxes, David Cameron | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
has put up taxes 24 times on hardworking families. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
His increase in VAT alone has cost the average family £450 | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
by putting up the price of dozens of everyday essentials, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
a cost-of-living crisis for many working people. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
However, there is one group that he does care about. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
David Cameron's priority has been the most privileged, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
who have been handed huge tax cuts | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
worth many thousands of pounds every year, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
while personal debt for ordinary families is rising | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
and their wages continue to be squeezed. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
And now the Tories are planning another tax giveaway | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
for the top 1% of earners. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
Thanks to the Liberal Democrats, the average young person | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
is now going to leave university | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
weighed down with more than £30,000 in student debts and loans. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Some of them will take more than 20 years to pay it off. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
That's a lifetime of debt before they have even started work, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
and all because the Liberal Democrats wouldn't keep their promises. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
All because every day Nick Clegg is propping up a Tory government. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
No wonder young people are finding it harder than ever | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
to get on the housing ladder. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Under David Cameron and Nick Clegg, the average working person | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
is a shocking £1,600 worse off a year. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
Dealing with this government's cost-of-living crisis | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
has never been so important. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Britain can do much better than this. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Britain should work for hardworking people, not just a privileged few. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Labour will: | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 |
