His wife, barbara henning, made incredibly moving appeal for his release just over the weekend. Henning is simply an aid worker trying to make life for victims of conflict.

N. Security council to win the International Support to counter isil. Read of [applause] friends, this country will never turn our back on the world and will never turn our back on the principles of internationalism. [applause] and those values are reflected country, but in this party, in this hall, and in in this great city of manchester. Friends, it is great to be with you in manchester. A fantastic city, a city with a leading the council way and a city that after this years local elections is not just a tory free zone but a liberal democratfree zone, as well. Now, manchester has special memories for me because it was four years ago that i was here inyour leader manchester. Feel wiser. N, i i feel older. Older, actually. Hang on a minute. Look quite a lot older, as well. At least ive got an excuse. But im prouder than ever to be ie leader of your party and thank you for your support. [applause] now, we meet here in serious times not just for our worlds but for our country, too. Nearly broke up, a aparty that nearly splits is not a country in good health. By thanking all of labour Team Scotland for the played in keeping our country together. Thank them all. Garwin,rown, alistair carron, douglas alexander. All, ladies them and gentlemen, because they helped save our country and i want to say to the people of scotland directly, this you overrty will show the coming years, you made the right choice, because we are together. [applause] now, heres the thing. Of us, all political leaders, all of us in this hall a responsibility to try and votedn why 45 of people yes, 45 of people wanted to break up our country. And weve got to explain why the feeling we saw in scotland is is just in scotland but reflected across the country. My story saw six days from the end of the referendum campaign. A publicmy way to meeting. I was late, as politicians tend to be. The meeting. Ide i met a woman and i was supposed the meeting but i wanted to stop and ask her how she was voting. I did that to everybody on the street. One vote at a time. Are youid to her, how voting . She said i havent decided yet. Wased out her name josephine. She worked as a cleaner in the building. I asked what the company was like that she worked for. She said the company was decent but the wages were rubbish. She hasnt decided because life was so incredibly tough for her. Leave but shet to thought it might be the best thing to do. How josephinenow voted in the referendum but i do know the question she was asking is anyone going to make life better for me and my family . And heres the thing. Isnt just josephines question. Its the question people are asking right across britain. Is anyone going to build a better life for the working country . Our that wasnt just the referendum question. Is the general election question. [applause] not talking about the powerful and the privileged, those who do well whatever the weather. About families like yours who are treading water, justng harder and harder to stay afloat. For labour, this election is about you. Sacrifices. The youve taken home lower wages year after year. Taxes. Paid higher youve seen your Energy Bills Rise and your n. H. S. Decline. You know this country doesnt work. Can build a that we Better Future for you and your family and this speech is about labours plan to do it. Labours plan for britains future. [applause] so what do we need to have that future . The we got to understand what people are saying to us right across the United Kingdom. Our country there is a silent majority who wanted endure but are telling us that things must change and they come from every walk of life. Theres a young woman who works where iar why live. She lives at the opposite end of from josephine. Shes separated by at least a generation but they share a common experience. Go touldnt afford to college so she got a job in the nearby washing dishes. Shes worked incredibly hard and worked her way up to be one of chefs but like josephine, ziamara is incredibly tough. By the way, she thinks politics is rubbish. Not pretend we dont hear that a lot on the door step. See in politics . She sees grift. She doesnt think we can solve her problems and weve got to prove her wrong and its not just that people like her and struggling with the troubles of today. Importantmething more about our country. People have lost faith in the future. The other day was in the park, i was trying to work on my speech, wasnt it or not and i getting anywhere so i went to the park and there were two young women who were in the park they seemed excited to see me and they came over. Dont laugh at me. [laughter] and one of them actually said, so it is true, you do meet famous people in this park. The other one said, yeah, it is, and then first one said, no fornse, we were hoping Benedict Cumberbatch. But anyway, anyway, one of them said something which really stuck with me. Said, mythis, she generation is falling into a hole and she said about her parents generation, theyve now theresod and nothing left for us. She wasnt just speaking for herself. Of was speaking for millions people across our country, millions of people whove lost like in the country, gareth high up in a Software Company. Daughter, 5yearold hes earning a decent wage. Homent afford to buy a for himself and his family. Hes priced out by the richest. He thinks unless youre one of the privileged view in britain, for youtry wont work and your kids will have a worse life than you and so many people, friends, across our country, feel this way. They feel the country doesnt work for them. Lost that faith in the future. To restoresk is peoples faith in the future. Not by breaking up our country, but by breaking with the old way of doing things, by breaking the past. Im not talking about a a differentlicy or program. Im talking about something much bigger. Im talking about a different a different ethic for the way our country succeeds. The sound andll fury in england, scotland, wales, across the United Kingdom, what people are actually saying to us is this country doesnt care about me. Our politics doesnt listen. Our economy doesnt work. And theyre not wrong. Theyre right. And this labour party is going put it right [applause] that, weve, to do got to go back to the very foundation of who we are and how run things. We just cant carry on with the belief, but we can succeed as a country with a tiny minority at the top doing well. Prosperity in one part of britain amongst a small elite, a most, blind too the concerns of people, sending the message to everyone but a on your own. Think about it for a minute. Workingconomy, its people who are made to bear the anxiety, precariousness and insecurity. Told, youre on your own. So many young people who dont have the privileges think their theirill be worse than parents. Theyve been told, youre on your own. So many Small Businesses are struggling against forces more powerful than themselves. Theyve been told, youre on your own. And the most vulnerable are being thrown on the scrap heap, cast aside, not listened to, even when they have a case. Theyve been told, youre on your own. And to cap it all in our haveics, its a few who the access when everyone else is told, out, theyve been youre on your own. No wonder people have lost faith in the future. People voted many to break up our country. Any wonder . The deck is stacked. Of game is rigged in favor those who have all the power. Friends, in eight months time, going to call time on this way of running the country, your own re on because youre on your own it doesntk for you, work for your family, it doesnt for britain. [applause] we build a different future for our country . Of course we can. Idea fora different how we succeed. An idea that, in the end, won referendum, an idea i love, because it says so much about who we have it in ourselves to become, an idea partys character an in our countrys history, idea that built our greatest institutions and got us through darkest moments, an idea simple word e together. Together, we can restore faith in the future. Together, we can build a Better Future for the working people of britain. Rebuild, we can britain. Friends, together, we can [applause] together says its not just a powerful few at the top whose but thehould be heard voices of everyone. Together says its not just a few wealthy people that create our country, its every working person. Together says we just cant a country with the talents of a few. Weve got to use the talents of all. Together says that we cant have some people breaking the rules, everybodys got to play under the same rule. Ad together says that we have duty to look after each other when times are hard. Together, the way we restore faith in the future. Forther, a different idea britain. [applause] now, you might be thinking, this sounds like a pretty big changing the way our countrys run, a totally idea. Ent thats quite a big task. Is it really going to be possible . Can we do it . I mean, in the 21st century, is going backwards . Well, it isnt. And the reason it isnt is idea is everywhere around us to see in every walk of life. The inspiration is everywhere, way of doingt things. Early on i mentioned gareth who Software Company whos worried about his daughter and worried about the future. Meet him. Ust i met his colleagues, as well. Company isftware full of bright, savvy young enthusiasml of great but it doesnt about getting to the top. Individualout each on their own. Every person at that company said the same thing, you need to the talents of every single person, not just the Software Engineers but the customer service. Not just the developers, but those who manage the accounts. Great businesses across our country and theyll say the same thing to you. Ethic of the 21st century in business. Entrepreneurs. Britain needs great greatesteurs but the entrepreneurs recognize that theyre only as strong as their team. And its not just true in business. Work are people here who in our Brilliant National health our Brilliant National health service, friends. [applause] earlier this year, i spent a lot hospital inn n. H. S. Watford. I wanted to go there to see how things looked from the front line. Mainly i got in the way, really, but thats what politicians tend to do. Remember one evening at 9 00 from i was watching nurses different backgrounds, different walks of life, all coming together. Incredibly moved. I was incredibly inspired by the team work. Proud of our National Health service. [applause] go toany great hospital, any great school, its the team that makes it strong, and then about our brilliant armed forces and let us pay tribute to them today, friends. [applause] heroic troops serving our country in the most dangerous places. Talk to any of them and theyll team and the team that makes it strong. So its true of business. Of Public Service. Its true of our armed forces. Ofs true in so many walks life. You see, its the ethic of the hierarchy,y with order, planning, control, the few. Ts of a the ethic of the 21st century is cooperation. Part,ody playing their sharing the rewards, the talent together. Friends, it is time we ran the bentry like we know it can run. [applause] now heres a question for you. Challenge is to run the country on this principle of thether, can the tories be answer . Answer . Tories be the [crowd says no] thats better. Bestse if you want the example of youre on your own, rig the system for the powerful throwback dog inma, dogma. St look at this if youre a low paid worker struggling to make ends meet, for longering harder for less and youre on your own. If youre a family in the middle, you feel like youre just treading water, and youre on your own. If youre on a zero hour getting up at 5 00 a. M. Every morning to find out whether youve got work, theyll how an economys succeeds, and youre on your own. The peoplene of whos worried about the railway company, the payday lender, theyre not going to do anything own. Lp you, youre on your if youre one of the nine Million People who rent your sector,the private theyre certainly not going to do anything for you, theyre going to tell you youre on your own. And why . Because they say intervening would be like venezuela. They say. T you see, they say they dont believe in government intervention. Really . Of course they do. Youre a millionaire who wants a tax cut, theyre certainly going to intervene to you. Rt youre not going to be on your own. If youre a banker whos worried well its goods, news for you because George Osborne is going to go all the europe to fight tooth and nail to try and protect it. You certainly wont be on your own. An Energy Company whose prices and profits are soaring, good news again. Youve got a Prime Minister who will be your own p. R. Man. Your own. Be on [applause] way, if youre a conservative supporting, gold owning,luxury hotel olig Award Winning russian ark and youve got 160,000 pounds to spare to bid at an auction, you wont be on your the tennis be on court playing doubles with David Cameron. That tells you all you need to know about this government. [applause] electionhe kind of campaign theyre going to fight. The next nine months, David Cameron is going to want to talk hes about the past and not going to want to talk much about the present and the future. Why . The britisho tell public that none of the problems in our country are anything to do with him. Hes done a really outstanding, tremendous job and he really deserves a lot of and thanks for it. Youve done a great job. Have nothing to do with him. And if you just hang on until election,general things are about to turn the family. Or your now, the british people will have to be the judge of this but tohink there are some things bear in mind. The record of this government, mediocre. Snt just it is one of the worst ever. [applause] the longest fall in Living Standard since 1870. Slower than prices of 51 months. For your family, five years of five years oft, sacrifice, zero years of success. Now, you might think that david right and things are about to turn around for you and your family. As i say, the british people will have to be the judge of this. But isnt there a second, more plausible explanation for their record. A tory economy is always an economy for the few because thats who they care about, thats the basis on which they a country succeeds, and so government isthis a good guide to the future. Family worse off. You cant afford to take that risk. British people cant afford another five years of David Cameron. [applause] an idea for our Prime Minister. He likes the surfing. He likes playing that game, angry birds. Thehe likes tennis with oligarch. Ive got a great idea. Why dont we give him all the in the world to do all may. Things come next [applause] to us. We have to build a future for you and your family. Fors what labours plan britains future is all about. And today i want to lay out six National Goals, not just for one office or even for one plan for the next 10 years. One of me as day Prime Minister, this is the plan and these are the goals i want us to pursue. Ask, why 10 years . Ill tell you one of the reasons. People are fed up with politicians who come along and me, on day one, everything will be transformed. Friends, the british people wont believe it. Doing an itall dick clade. Dick clade broke that promise on tuition fees, he didnt just destroy trust in the liberal democrat. He did something else. Trust in politics. Every time a promise is broken, a promise is made, every time we say vote for us and tomorrow everything will be totally different, people get and more cynical, people get more and more turned off, people think politics is more a game and all were in ourselves. Thats why i planned for the that10 years, not a plan says nothing changes but a route country, a route map for people like gareth i talked about earlier, for the young who wanted to see Benedict Cumberbatch and ended up with me my generation is falling into a black hole, i want to know theres a future for me. Thats what this plan is about. Our plan starts with rewarding hard work once again because thats what weve got to do as a country. In five of the men and women who go out to work in our country do their bit, make their put in the hours, and find themselves in low pay. Britains tradition, with labours tradition, that should all, friends. Thatirst National Goal is people inhe number of low pay by 2025, transforming the lives of two Million People in our country. Of together says we dont just use the talents of all, we reward the talents of the minimum wage has to a route to bringing up your family with dignity so we will wage by onenimum pound 50 an hour by 2025, to over eight pounds an hour, a wage of more than 3,000 pounds a year. The tories are the party of and privilege. Labour is the party of hard work, fairly paid. Payits not just the low but its all working people who should have their talent rewarded. So our second National Goal is that all working people should fairly in the growing wealth of the country. That means as the economy grows, everyday working people grow at the same rate. You know whats amazing, friends, is that that statement, that goal, is even controversial. It used to be taken for granted in our country thats that what would happen. Thats why the cost of living crisis, which the tories dont understand, is all about. Counter it, you need a government with a singular focus tackling it and key to this is transforming our economy so jobs at decent wages and that requires a Massive National effort. Together,ple of everybody playing their part. Means nonment, it vested interest, no old mindsety, no stale should stand in the way of this basic bargain of britain. It means reforming our bank, breaking up the big bank. So that we have the competition need in our banking system. Ofmeans getting power out white hall. We are a far too centralized country. Its time we did something about it. Its time we transferred power out of white hall to our soinesses, towns and cities, that they can create the jobs, the wealth that they need. [applause] its about businesses and trade unions engaging in cooperation, confrontation, and its also about something else, friends, for this party. Historic value to fight for those on the front line of the modern work force. Talking about a group of people that we in the labour party havent talked about that aboutnd we need to talk them a lot more. The growing army of our selfemployed. Five Million People in our country, often the most entrepreneurial, gogetting have ain britain, who hard, insecure life very often. See, because of the jobs they do, two out of three dont have a pension. One in five cant get a mortgage. They dont want special treatment. Fair shot. Ant a so the task of this labour party this 21st century modern discrimination and it is deliver equal rights for the selfemployed in britain. [applause] i said earlier that we need to wages good jobs at decent to transform our economy, those jobs of the future. So our third National Goal is that by 2025 britain becomes world leader in the Green Economy creating one million new jobs as we do. Under this government, were falling behind germany, japan, states, even india to china, when it comes Green Technology and services and there are so many brilliant are desperate to do their bit but governments not playing its part. We will. Plan, and this is what were going to do. Were going to commit to taking carbon out of electricity by 2030. Were going to have a green with power tok borrow and attract new as Carolyn Flint will announce tomorrow, we will and resources to community so we can insulate homes over the next 10 years. [applause] thatnvironment isnt fashionable anymore in politics withu may have noticed David Cameron, but it matters. Its incredibly important for our economy. And there is no more important issue for me when i think about childrens generation and what i can do in politics than Global Climate change. [applause] a plan for job, we wages. Plan for we need a plan that is actually going to help the working families of our country. At the heart of our plan for our country and for your family is of ourfuture for all young people. I met somebody called elizabeth the other day. Where is she . Shes here. Standeth, why dont you up for one second. Elizabeth is an apprentice. [applause] elizabeth is an apprentice. Electrician. I think its fair to say that what up toaking into now has been pretty much a mans world. Yes. Another round of applause for her and the great job shes doing. [applause] shes one of the lucky few, friends, shes one of the lucky few. Elizabeths school i met her yesterday Elizabeths School her to get an apprenticeship. Lots of young people say my school said apprenticeships are they wouldnt help me but im doing it and its great for me but frankly there of them so our fourth National Goal is that by 2025 as many young people will leaving school or college to go on to an apprenticeship as university. To [applause] now, ive got to tell you, this is an absolutely huge undertaking. We are such a long way away from this as a country. Going to require a Massive National effort. Its going to require young the ambition to do well and to get on. Its going to require schools to change inmatic education with new Gold Standard technical qualifications and going to need business and government to lead a resolution in apprenticeships. Government is very good about preaching to business about what it should be doing. Let me just tell you, government is absolutely useless when it apprenticeships and its true of governments of both parties. Look at other countries like do a fantastic job of giving apprenticeships to the next generation. Country do that in this so first were going to tackle the failure by government. To businessto say that youve got to play your part. If you want to bring in a worker outside the european union, thats ok, but you must provide the nexteships to generation. [applause] you see, we cant have whats happening at the moment in i. T. Where you have more and more numbercoming in but the of apprenticeships falling in i. T. We are also going to tell businesses were going to give you control of the money for apprenticeships for the first time but in exchange if you want a major government contract, you must provide apprenticeships to our young people. [applause] wages, forjobs, for education, but what is it, what things that give us confidence and security in life . Its the love of people we care decent workits properly rewarded, but its also the confidence and security of your own and so many people dont have that today, that very british dream ownership is fading for so many people. Werethis government, building fewer homes than at any 1920s. Ce the so our fifth National Goal is that by 2025 for the first time years this country will be as weng as many homes need, doubling the number of firsttime buyers in our country. [applause] require agoing to Massive National effort, a Massive National effort. Developerst large sit on land. Well say to Small Developers and Construction Companies that homeshelp them to build again in our country. Well build a new generation of ands, garden cities, suburbs creating over half a million new homes. Well also make housing the top priority for Additional Capital investment in the next parliament. This party will get britain again. G [applause] your family, also needs Public Services you can education, policing, transport. And nowhere is that more true than our National Health service. I mentioned earlier on that i spent a couple of days at a hospital in watford earlier on year. While i was there, i met an colin in hisalled 80s who sadly died a few weeks later, but i will always withber my conversations him. You see, he remembered the n. H. S. Ion of the he remembered what life was like the National Health service. Me,i remember him saying to ed, the problem then was you were on your own, on your own pay for medical treatment. Friends, we are so proud of our health service. And i know my duty to colin and british people. It is to make sure our n. H. S. Is it. E when we need [applause] so our sixth National Goal is truly worldte a class 21st Century Health and care service because a hospital only as good as the services in the community. You see, thats the biggest i learned in watford. Theirple cant get to see g. P. , if elderly people cant thenhe visits they need, they end up in hospital when it could have been avoided. Them, and bad for its bad for the taxpayer. It costs billions of pounds. It, friends,e those services are creaking. Are creaking just now. One in four people cant get to week. Eir g. P. Within a we had the scandal of home care elderlyor the restricted to just 15 minutes. Day and age, the n. H. S. Face huge challenges over the coming years. We will transform our n. H. S. Its time to care about our n. H. S. Nurses,doctors, midwives, care workers, who are able to spend proper time with us, not rushed off their feet. So we will set aside resources in our we can have wives,000 more mide 5,000 more care workers, and more workers. N. H. S. , its time to care [applause] and in order to pay for it, we wont borrow an extra penny or raise taxes on ordinary working families. Well clamp down on tax avoidance, including tax loopholes by the hedge funds, to pounds. Er a billion [applause] we will use the proceeds of a tax on homes above two pounds. [applause] we will raise extra resources from the Tobacco Companies who make soaring profits on the back of ill health. [applause] because, friends, because, friends, the principle of building it together means everyones playing their part in our n. H. S. What it needs to be. 2. 5otal, well set aside billion pounds in an n. H. S. Fund, and tomorrow, andy burnham will set out our integrated plan for physical health, mental the elderly,re for truly a 21st Century National service. [applause] are incredibly high in this election and nowhere more so than on the national we knowervice because the n. H. S. Is sliding backwards under this government. Know theyre privatizing and fragmenting it. Just imagine what another five wouldof David Cameron mean for our National Health service, friends. We are not going to let it happen. Our n. H. S. Is too precious, too important, and we will not let happen [applause] n. H. S. , we built the we saved the n. H. S. Were going to repeal the Health Care Bill and were going to transform our n. H. S. Future that is what the next Labour Government will do and friends, we will do it together [applause] National Goals, friends, six ouronals goals to transform country, not a false promise on skyone, not some pie in the idea that cant be delivered. That cancrete ideas transform our country, that can future, aith in the plan for britains future, for britains future. But to make that happen, we also have to do something else. And transform who has power in our country. So that those who feel locked out, feel let back in. Thinkow, people westminster politics is out of often irrelevant, and disconnected from their lives. Somebody who stands at Prime Ministers questions each wednesday, i also know what they mean. We might as well say it, its what people think about politics. They think its not about them and weve got to change it. We dont just need to restore the futureith in with this economic and social plan, we need to change the way country. Works in this what does that mean . First of all, its time to hear voice of young people in our politics so we will give the year olds ond 17 general election. [applause] the time to complete Unfinished Business of reform of the house of lords so we truly nation andte of the region. And its time to devolve power in england. And im incredibly proud of our proposal, our ambitious proposal to reverse a century of centralization, and there can be no better place to be talking about this than here in manchester, devolving power to local government, bringing power right acrossple england. [applause] and we need reform of our heres then but thing, friends. Given everything we know about what people think of westminster politics, its got to be led by the people. It cant be some westminster stitchup. Why we need a proper Constitutional Convention harnessing the civic energy and spirit of people right across england, scotland and wales, every part of the United Kingdom. You know, ive realized something else. Is alsoeople voice about recognizing who we are as a country. Are, more than ever, four countries and one wales, scotland, northern ireland, and britain, too. Making its contribution. Were not just better together, together. Ater and thats not something to fear. Be proud of. Ing to i learned something really important, as im sure we all did, in this referendum campaign. People who are proud to be scottish and proud british, just like there are so many people who are proud bebe welsh and proud to british, no one more so than our brilliant first minister of carwin joes. Lets hear it from him today, gentlemen. Too, we can be proud to be english and proud to be british. And i say to this party, we must for these traditions and not cede them to others. Englishness, a history of solidarity from the battle of cable street against Oswald Moseley and the black shirts, to spirit of the blitz. Traditions of fairness from the ford workers dagganham who fought for pay to Todays Campaign wage. E living englishness, a spirit of whose whonalism from fought in the spanish civil war to our generosity to those overseas. Friends, there will be some people who tell you that being english, welsh, or scottish, means dividing or setting each other. Ainst rubbish why . , these heres what we labour party, know. The injustices facing working them right across the United Kingdom. And we can only tackle them together. That is, after all, what we last two years fighting for, and i am not going to let anyone, after the last two years, drive us apart. If David Cameron cares so much about the union, why is he seeked to divide us . Hes learning the wrong lessons scotland. Hes learning the wrong lessons what hetland because doesnt understand is that the lessons are of course about the constitution but they are not about playing political tactics england. And heres why hes doing it. Cameron doesnt lie awake at night thinking about the United Kingdom. He lies awake at night thinking the United Kingdom independent party. That is why he is doing it, friends. And i say, pandering to them is just one more reason why he is not fit to be the Prime Minister country reat better together, across the kingdom, but also better together, true to our tradition of internationalism. And nowhere is that more true than when it comes to europe and union. Opean friends, let me say it plainly. Let me say it plainly. Our future lies inside, not union. , the european to reform europe. We need to reform europe on the immigration, on benefits, on all of these big issues. But were is the question for britain. How do we reform europe . Do we reform europe by building by burningr alliances . Whats really good is that weve had a recent experience, a test case, by David Cameron, of his strategy. I dont know whether you missed about somebody inled jeanclaude umker and case you missed the score, its not so good from his point of view, that David Cameron, lost by 262. And why did he lose . Why did he lose . The start, people thought he might win that vote. Ill tell you why. You see the problem for our country is that when david calling, people dont think hes calling about problems of britain or the problems of europe, they think hes calling about the problems of the conservative party. Heres the funny thing, friends, and heres the funny thing, if youre elected the germany or the Prime Minister of italy, or the president of france, you dont really think youre elected to solve the problems of the conservative party. Thats why he cant succeed for our country. And what we had over jeanclaude umker is just a preview of what could befall this country if David Cameron was back in power after 2015, because he lost 262 over that. He has to win 28nil to get europe, unanimity. No chance for David Cameron. Hes got no chance of fighting for this country because people think hes got one hand on the door and his strategy has failed. If you want to reform europe, if change the way europe works, if you want to britain in the european union, and if you realize that threat to our prosperity is now the rightvative party, the answer is a Labour Government as primemined that minister id promote our values all all around the world and one of the things that means, friends, is seeking a solution to a isblem we know in our hearts one of the biggest problems our world faces and that is issues in the middle east in israel and palestine. Ill tell you, i will fight with every fiber of my being to get the twostate solution, twostate for two people. Israel and palestinian state living side by side. That will be a very, very nexttant task of the. Abour government, friends theres one other thing i want what we need to do abroad. You know, weve made extraordinary progress on gay rights over the last 20 years. I think about the transformation growing up into adulthood, its the biggest transformation. Weve made such progress on thelity but we have to face fact that internationally things are if anything going backwards. We cant just let that happen. We cant just say well thats ok. This Labour Government, the next government, will fight to make sure that we fight for our rights alluman around the world. So today i can announce, today i im appointingat mer as our envoy on lgbt rights all around the world. So its about a plan, at home and abroad, but its also about leadership. Friends you know, i know, that the next eight months represent my interview with the british people for one of the most important jobs in our country. Let me tell you what i care about. I care about big ideas that can change our country. The principle of together. I care about hearing the voices of people right across our land and not shutting them out. And i care about something else. I care about using the power of government to stand up against powerful forces when we need to do so. It came home to me the other day, when i met rosie, a doctor from devon, and she said to me what we need is someone who will stand up for working people, for everyday people, because you will have the power and we wont. Thats why i stood up to Rupert Murdoch over phone hacking. Thats why i stood up to the banks over bonuses. Thats why i stood up to the payday lenders over their exploitation of the poorest people in our country. Thats why i stood up to the Energy Companies over their profits and prices and, yes, its why i stood up to the daily mail when they said my dad hated britain because i know my dad loved britain. [applause] ok, thats me, but what about the other guy. Now this isnt a conventional Job Interview so i get to Say Something about him. He stands up for the principle of youre on your own. He stands up for the privileged few. And heres the thing that gets me the most about him perhaps. He really thinks that a good photo opportunity will fool people into thinking he doesnt just stand up for the rich and privileged, he stands up for you and your family. In this day and age, when people are so cynical about politics, i just think it adds to that cynicism. But heres the thing. Hes been found out. Hes been found out because he hugged a huskie before an election, and then said cut the green crap after an election. Hes been found out because he stood outside an nhs hospital before an election with a placard saying no hospital closures, and he closed that very same a e department after the election. Hes been found out because he changed his logo to a tree before an election, and tried to sell off the forests after the election. [laughter] [applause] and hes been found out because he said he was a compassionate conservative before the election, and he imposed the cruel, the vindictive, the unfair bedroom tax after the election. [applause] and you know what gets me even more . You know what gets me even more . Is that even now, with all the tales of misery, hardship, injustice, he thinks a bit of rebranding will get him off the hook. So he calls it the spare room subsidy as if that will make the problem go away. Well, David Cameron, youve been found out. [applause] so friends, there is a choice of leadership at this election. A real, stark choice of leadership. Leadership that stands for the privileged few or leadership that fights for you and your family. And as i said earlier, this isnt just about leadership and government and labours plan for britains future. Its also about all of you. See, we cant build the country we need without you. Without mobilising every part of britain. So i say to young people we need your hope, your energy, your vitality. I say to every older person we respect your service and we need your wisdom. I say to every business you can be part of this and we cant do it without you. I say to every entrepreneur we need your ideas, your enthusiasm. I say to every charity we admire your spirit and we want to hear your voice. I say to every nurse, every teacher, every Public Service worker we salute your dedication and we know why you do what you do. [applause] i say to every person in our country who believes that tomorrow can be better than today we need you. Together we bring up our families. Together we look out for our neighbours. Together we care for our communities. Together we build great businesses, the best in the world. Together we teach the young. Together we heal the sick. Together we care for the old. Together we invent cures for the most terrible of diseases. So, of course, friends, together we can rebuild our country. Together we can reward hard work. Together we can ensure the next generation does better than the last. Together we can make our nhs greater than it has ever been before. Together we can make britain prouder, stronger in the world. Together we can restore faith in the future. On our own, we cant but together we can. In the next eight months the british people face one of the biggest choices in generations. A choice between carrying on as we are, on your own, for the privileged few. Or a different, Better Future for our country. We are ready. Labours plan for britains future. Lets make it happen. Together. Thank you very much. [applause] [captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2014] [captioning performed by national captioning institute]
