WHISTLING: Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II | 5:02:09 | 5:02:11 | |
Since the Tories came to power, | 5:02:11 | 5:02:14 | |
the gap between the richest and everyone else | 5:02:14 | 5:02:17 | |
has been growing wider. | 5:02:17 | 5:02:19 | |
And while the funding for our schools and hospitals is being cut, | 5:02:23 | 5:02:27 | |
many of the largest companies and wealthiest individuals | 5:02:27 | 5:02:31 | |
are dodging their taxes. | 5:02:31 | 5:02:34 | |
WHISTLING CONTINUES | 5:02:34 | 5:02:36 | |
And the tax dodgers are getting away with it | 5:02:40 | 5:02:43 | |
because the Conservatives let them. | 5:02:43 | 5:02:46 | |
The Tory tax system is rigged... | 5:02:46 | 5:02:48 | |
..fixed in favour of the wealthiest, | 5:02:50 | 5:02:52 | |
letting them dodge billions in taxes. | 5:02:52 | 5:02:55 | |
And while the tax dodgers have seen their fortunes grow... | 5:02:56 | 5:02:59 | |
..for most of the rest of us, | 5:03:01 | 5:03:03 | |
the value of our pay has fallen or been frozen, year after year. | 5:03:03 | 5:03:09 | |
The Tories have allowed the tax dodgers to use loopholes | 5:03:11 | 5:03:14 | |
to avoid paying their fair share... | 5:03:14 | 5:03:16 | |
..while we have had to watch our NHS tip into crisis... | 5:03:19 | 5:03:23 | |
..and social care on the verge of collapse. | 5:03:24 | 5:03:27 | |
While the tax dodgers have filled their bank accounts, | 5:03:29 | 5:03:33 | |
over a million people have been forced to turn to food banks | 5:03:33 | 5:03:37 | |
to feed their families. | 5:03:37 | 5:03:38 | |
It doesn't have to be this way. | 5:03:38 | 5:03:40 | |
We don't have to accept things the way they are. | 5:03:43 | 5:03:46 | |
The Labour Party will do things differently. | 5:03:46 | 5:03:49 | |
Labour will make sure that our country gets the taxes we need... | 5:03:51 | 5:03:54 | |
..by making all the big corporations | 5:03:56 | 5:03:59 | |
and the highest earners | 5:03:59 | 5:04:00 | |
start paying their fair share. | 5:04:00 | 5:04:03 | |
And, along with that, | 5:04:03 | 5:04:05 | |
we'll raise the minimum wage to a real living wage | 5:04:05 | 5:04:08 | |
of £10 an hour, | 5:04:08 | 5:04:10 | |
calling time on the fat cats making millions out of low pay. | 5:04:10 | 5:04:14 | |
We'll take the private corporations out of our NHS and our railways | 5:04:15 | 5:04:20 | |
so that they're run for people, not just for profit. | 5:04:20 | 5:04:24 | |
And we'll tackle the housing crisis head-on | 5:04:24 | 5:04:27 | |
by investing in a million new homes. | 5:04:27 | 5:04:30 | |
Because if we're going to get a fairer Britain... | 5:04:30 | 5:04:32 | |
..we have to build a fairer economy. | 5:04:33 | 5:04:36 |
