I go round the country talking to people and so many people say life | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
is an incredible struggle at the moment and if it is not a struggle | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
now, they feel uncertain about the future. They feel what kind of | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
future am I going to have? What kind of future are my family going to | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
have? People have lost that confidence that there is going to be | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
a future that is better than the past. Now there is sense of we have | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
been through the pain, we have made the sacrifices, where is the vision | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
for the country? Where is this country going? It is time we have a | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
plan and that is what my plan for Britain's future is about. The | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
starting point for me is that working people should share in the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
growing wealth of the country. I meet so many people and they find it | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
a desperate struggle to make ends meet. What does that say about us as | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
a country? Hard work isn't rewarded. That is something we pride ourselves | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
on as a country. That is why we are setting a clear objective to reduce | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
poverty for those in work, so, over five years, we will get to a minimum | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
wage of over ?8 and that will send a message that hard work is going to | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
be rewarded again in our country. That is a starting point for what we | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
can do. We can only succeed as a country if | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
we use the talents of all our young people. For far too long, | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
governments of both parties have spent a lot of time worrying about | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
who was going to university. I would have no idea what qualifications I | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
should be doing. We will set a clear national goal which says over ten | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
years, we get as many young people into apprenticeships as we get into | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
university. That is a big and dramatic change for our country. It | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
will require everyone to step up. I think this is the question - what | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
gives you security in life? The love of people you care about? Work? But | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
also the confidence and security of a home and so many people are denied | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
that confidence and security and don't feel they have a future to | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
look forward to. Our aim for the country is we are building as many | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
homes as the country needs. We have to break the power of the big | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
developers because they are sitting on hundreds of thousands acres of | :02:34. | :02:50. | |
land with no planning permission. People often think about the | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
environment as being about safeguarding the planet for future | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
generations. I care about that in relation to my kids and future | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
generations. It is not just about that. It is about what jobs are our | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
sons and daughters going to be doing? We have to create the jobs of | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
the future. We are setting a clear ten-year goal to create a million | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
new jobs in the environmental technologies of the future and make | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
Britain a world leader. There's deep anxiety about our NHS, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
among patients, doctors, nurses. Is our NHS going to be there in five | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
years' time if this Government gets back? I am deeply committed to our | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
NHS. I'm committed to it in deeds. That is why we are committing to | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
8,000 more doctors and 20,000 more nurses. We will raise taxes on the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
wealthiest with homes above ?2 million and clampdown on tax | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
avoidance and use all of that money to improve our NHS and make sure it | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
is there for future generations. I think you can say there is a plan | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
for the future. We are a country that is going somewhere and not a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
country that works just for the richest in our society. It is | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
possible to build a country that does work for all and not just for | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
some. Tories have this idea that as long as the richest are doing OK, | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
everyone else will magically benefit from it. My view of success for a | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
country is everybody playing their part from top to bottom in society | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
and it is about in the end who counts. Is it just a few that count? | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Or is it every day working people that really count? This election | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
will come down to that question - do you want a Prime Minister who is | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
thinking about you and your family? That is the election choice. | :04:48. | :04:50. |
