0:00:27 > 0:00:29for the financial crisis.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31We live in tough times.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35But I believe in a simple truth -

0:00:35 > 0:00:39we can still make a difference - even when there's less money around.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45We believe in responsibility,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48from the benefits office to the boardroom.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Those who make a contribution to their communities

0:00:51 > 0:00:52should get rewarded for it,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55by getting priority with social housing.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01And we've got to sort out those bankers' bonuses.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03For too long, those at the top,

0:01:03 > 0:01:05including the banks and some newspapers,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08thought they could do whatever they liked.

0:01:09 > 0:01:10We would tax bankers' bonuses

0:01:10 > 0:01:15to create 100,000 jobs for our young people.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18We will take action against powerful vested interests,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20without fear

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and without favour.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25We would stand up for families struggling to pay bills

0:01:25 > 0:01:29by taking on the train firms and stopping them ripping you off.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33And we would force electricity companies to offer the lowest price

0:01:33 > 0:01:36for five million elderly and vulnerable people.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38And in these tough times,

0:01:38 > 0:01:42it's more important than ever that every penny of taxpayers' money,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44of YOUR money, is spent wisely.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47The Government is wasting billions

0:01:47 > 0:01:51on a bureaucratic shake-up of our National Health Service.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56We would use some of that money to save the jobs of 6,000 nurses.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Labour will always make different choices.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04But tough times means taking tough decisions.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07That's why we would put saving jobs in our public services

0:02:07 > 0:02:10before pay rises right now.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13The Tories and Liberal Democrats in this Government

0:02:13 > 0:02:16are just out of touch.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Labour is with you.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21For you, your family,

0:02:21 > 0:02:23for the next generation.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The Labour Party is changing.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30And, together, we can deliver fairness,

0:02:30 > 0:02:32even in these tough times.
