Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you conference for that. Fantastic. Welcome.
and I want to start in the way that I know you'd all want me to start
by thanking the workers.
The fantastic staff at this conference center,
all those that work in the hotels and restaurants all across liverpool and a really big. Thank you.
To all the labour party staff who make this whole conference possible and run it. So well thank you to all of them.
And a huge, huge. Thank you.
So the people of liverpool,
you it is a fantastic city.
and You've made us. So welcome here this week.
As you always do.
Whenever we're in liverpool, thank you so much for the spirit and the humor of liverpool.
and If I could also do this, I want to say
a big, thank you to all of my family
for the support that they give me and help and advice that they give me.
There's actually always a great deal of advice being given.
But in particular, I would like to say a big thank you to my wife laura.
To arise me whether in me a coil grass is loretta.
to conference to all of you on what?
I think we can all agree on unanimously.
Has been a great conference, a conference,
a conference of a labour party that's ready to take charge,
to start the work
of rebuilding rebuilding our divided country.
This year, we marked the centenary of the representation of the people act,
which saw 8 million women getting the vote for the first time,
along with 5.5 million working class men.
We now have more women members of the labour party
than the entire membership.
Male and female of the conservative and liberal democrat parties put together.
and We mark that said to you with jenny foamy is our new general secretary.
I've known jenny for many years, her attack integrity, her determination, they
are real assets to our party.
And since jenny took over, we've registered significant electoral successes.
In may, we saw the only bit of blue
in greater manchester,
turn red as labor one back traffic council.
I know there's a bit of liverpool, manchester rivalry. I've just been told about it.
Ha ha, ha ha.
And it can become a bit of a thing. So I just say this.
There's not a single conservative council on murder side either.
Yeah And not a single tory counselor in this great city of liverpool.
And across the country built on the gains labor made in the general election.
In the southwest, we went back, plymouth, well done plymouth.
In the north, we won kirkland, well done kirkland.
and We had our best counsel results in london since 1971.
In scotland too.
In scotland too, labor is once again offering a message of hope
and real change.
The choice is clear.
Investment and a fair society under labor,
or austerity under the tories timidly accepted by the snp
we've also been raising more money for our party,
but not a penny of our funds,
came from a dodgy donor or a shady businessmen club.
Armani comes from hundreds of thousands of people across our country who believe in what we all stand for.
Don't have to play tennis with an oligarch in order to keep the party organization running.
All right.
Because labor trades in hope for the many not favors for the field.
Our mass membership is not just a source of funds. of Course
That's membership.
And our millions of affiliated trade union members are the voice of their workplaces and their communities.
And with our new community organizers,
we will anchor everything we do.
Everything we do in people's day today experiences that is our strength.
And together we're gonna change britain.
Those of you with eagle eyes may have noticed that not everyone is entirely happy about all of this.
It turns out that the billionaires who apparently own the bulk of the british press
don't like us one little bit.
Now, it could be
because we're going to clamp down on,
or maybe, because we don't fall over them at white tidings and cocktail parties.
Or it could even be because tom watson has been campaigning for a second part of the levis and meater inquiry to be set up.
Thank you, tom.
Something the last prime minister promised, but
felt it delivered.
We must and we will protect the freedom of the press to challenge
unaccountable power.
Journalists from turkey to myanmar and colombia
are being imprisoned,
harassed, and sometimes kills
by authoritarian governments and powerful corporate interests,
just for doing their job of trying to find out the truth of the oppression that happens in their societies.
But here,
the free press as far too often met the freedom to spread lies and half truths and to smear the powerless, not take on the powerful.
You challenge their propaganda of privilege by using the mass media
of the 21st century.
Social media.
And we'll do it in traditional ways, too.
On the doorsteps, in the town centers, at the school gates, in the community centers.
So that people know there is a labour party
that will stand up for them and is ready to rebuild and transform britain.
Next year marks the 200 anniversary,
the petra massacre.
When 15 peaceful demonstrators were killed
and hundreds injured on the streets of manchester
by troops sent in by the tories
to suppress the struggle
for democratic rights.
The great english poet
percy shelley wrote a poem about the massacre.
and That was the origin of our slogan
for the many, not a few.
Among those killed, peter lew was a man named john ashworth
and a woman named sarah jones.
In the next labor government are very own john ashworth as health secretary and sarah jones as housing minister will be carrying forward the struggle to protect and extend democratic rights. Hopefully.
Hopefully they won't become martyrs in the process.
And we will honor
the heroes of peter lu
by being true to their cause.
With the labour party fighting for democracy and social justice against poverty and inequality and discrimination.
And if we have to get the chance to put these values into practice in government,
we're going to need unity
to do it.
Our movement,
our movement has achieved nothing
when divided the only winners
have been the rich
and the party of the rich.
The conservatives,
is based on the freedom to disagree and debate,
and then come together around a democratic decision
as we've done this week. So we need to foster a much greater culture of tolerance,
an end to abuse online and in person,
we must learn,
we must learn.
So listen.
A bit more
to focus on what unites us to accept, losing a vote while maintaining the right.
To pick up the debate. Again, we are on a journey together and we can only complete that journey together.
Our party must speak for the overwhelming majority of our country.
Labor is a broad church and can be broader still.
I want to lead in that spirit.
After all,
I pointed john macdonald,
despite him being a liverpool fan
and andrew quinn
who supports manchester city.
As you can see, there's lots of unity around the shadow cabinet
conference. We're winning the public debates.
We've defined the new common sense.
and That's where our party can stand united.
This summer was tough.
Ours is the party of equality for all
the party that is pioneered every progressive initiative
to root out racism from our society.
conference, being anti racist means, we must listen to those communities, discrimination
and abuse.
I believe we're all stronger from listening
and learning from each other.
The jewish people have suffered a, long and terrible history of persecution
and genocide.
I was humbled to see that in a memorial 2 years ago, when I visited the former nazi concentration camp,
uh terrorism in the czech republic,
the row over anti semitism has caused immense hurt
and anxiety in the jewish community
and great dismay in the labour party.
But I hope and believe we can work together to draw 1 line 100.
I say this to all in the jewish community,
this party,
this movement,
will always be implacable campaigners against anti semitism and racism in all its forms. We are your allies,
we are your ally and the next labour government would guarantee whatever support necessary to ensure the security
of jewish community centers in place of worship.
As we will, for any other community experiencing hateful behavior and physical attacks, we will work
with jewish communities
to eradicate anti semitism,
both within our party and wider society and with your help.
I will fight for that with every breath that I possess.
Anti racism,
is integral to our very being.
It's part
of who you all are. It's part of who we are of who I am.
So conference won't accept
when I won't accept anything like that when we're attacked by tory hypocrites,
who accuse us of anti semitism one day, then endorse victor or bands hard, right? Government the next day,
or when they accuse others of racism while they work to create a hostile environment for all migrant communities.
We can never
we can never be complacent about the scourge
of racism.
Race, hate
is a growing threat that has to be confronted, not just here in britain, but across europe, and the, united states.
The far right is on the rise.
Doing what they always do, blaming minorities, jews, muslims,
for the failure of a broken economic system.
It's victims
include the wind rush generation who helped rebuild britain after the war.
and Then we're thrown under the bus
by government that reckon there were votes to be had by pandering to prejudice.
The hostile environment policies,
shameful brainchild of the present prime minister
led to the scandal and the scandal. It is of british citizens being deported, detained,
and left destitute.
This is a nasty, cynical politics that demeans our whole country.
and The tories
still haven't learned.
This week they received a letter
from the anti semitic and islamic hungarian government thanking them for their solidarity.
Just at the same time as the rest of europe were united
in being appalled about the hungarian government has been doing.
Our party will never stay silent
in the face of growing islamabad.
Weather from the far right
on the streets or
the former foreign secretary disgraceful dog whistle jibes at muslim women,
labor. Labor will work to bring communities together.
It is only through the unity of all our people that. We can deliver social justice
for anyone.
Conference in our country
is long overdue.
Every month this government remains in office,
things get worse.
Evidence of the failure of privatization. And outsourcing is
piling up day after day.
What's long been a scam?
Is now a crisis.
Just look at the last few months.
The birmingham prison
run by g four s had to be brought back into public ownership after the chief inspector of prison described it as
the worst he'd ever visited
the privatized service
on the brink of meltdown.
Richard bergen, the next secretary of state for justice will end this scandal.
On the railways, the east coast franchises collapsed for the third time in a decade.
Bailed out yet again by the taxpayers.
you know What you get a train at king's cross and you never know who'll be running the train by the time you get to edinburgh.
Andy macdonald, our transport secretary will end this shambles and bring about a serious sensible transport policy.
And the giant private tear carillon
has gone bankrupt,
sunk in a sea of reckless greed.
Leaving hospitals half built.
Workers dumped on the dole
pensions in peril while the carillon directors
continued to stuff their pockets with bonuses and dividends. And small businesses in the supply chain took heavy losses, all went bust.
and Speaking of bankruptcy, the tories are now extending it
into their own backyard.
A conservative government and a concerned conservative local councillors have combined to push north temperature
over the edge, putting vital services to those who need on rely on them
at risk.
8 years of destructive austerity.
And obsessive outsourcing have left.
Either council's teaching on the precipice too, and this government must be held to account for their social vandalism. They're carrying out across the country.
It is labour councils and only labor councils
that are taking every step to protect people and services and we must thank them for it.
Thank those councils for the work they do, day in and day out.
Privatization and outsourcing and now a national disaster zone
and labor.
Labor is ready to call time on this racket.
We will rebuild the public realm
and create a genuinely mixed economy for the 21st century.
And after a decade of austerity,
the next labour government will confront the challenge of rebuilding our public services.
This year marks the 17th anniversary of the national health service labors proudest creation.
and It stands as a beacon,
a beacon all over the world to those fighting
for universal health care,
free at the.of need.
It's founder and iron,
inspired by the collective health provision in his hometown of tridiga,
described a free health services, pure socialism.
and so It is.
We will we all contribute through our taxes.
so That is there for all of us,
whatever we needed.
But this conservatives government has pushed rnhs
into crisis with more people waiting longer in accidental emergency and to see a doctor.
And over 4 million people on hospital waiting lists.
And as we discussing earlier,
there is a mental health crisis, too,
causing real pain and anguish.
A woman named angela wrote to me recently and, she said,
my mentally old daughter was told she would have to wait 12 months to get an appointment with an appropriate therapist
as a mother.
I'm at my wits end to know how to help her anymore.
I would hate her to become another suicide statistic.
This has to stop.
And under labor, it will.
We will deliver real parity of esteem for mental health services
to protect people like angeles daughter.
Then there's a scandal of the tories 6 billion cuts to social care,
leaving 400,000fewer
older people receiving care.
Too many of our older people to live alone
and isolated,
often ending up and a and e through neglect,
then unable to leave hospital,
because it's not safe for them.
Austerity is putting other strains on the nhs two.
One in five homes in england are now unfit for human habitation.
120,000children,
a living in temporary accommodation,
so is john healey is pledged. We will put a levy on those with second homes.
Think of it as a solidarity fund,
a solidarity fund
for those with
two homes to help those
without any home at all.
Labor will embark on the biggest home building program in half a century.
Meanwhile, for too many people,
social security has become a system
of institutionalized bullying
and degradation.
The tories have created a hostile environment
for disabled people.
Hundreds of people from all over the country.
Right? To me about it every week.
People like richard who says this,
my wife was diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis 20 years ago.
A few months ago, we were told she needed to reapply for personal independence payments.
She had an assessment by somebody who was not medically trained.
We've now been told that all her benefit we stopped.
and He adds
i have tried, to be I have tried to be her rock,
but the stress and suffering,
I can see my wife going through is so very cruel.
and I've had to
put myself on anti depressants.
These are human consequences of a tory government that puts tax cuts for the wealthy ahead of care for the disabled people of our society.
Labor is ready to put fairness
and humanity,
back the, heart of our public services.
And as diane abbott told us yesterday, you can't keep people safe on the cheap.
That's reflected in the fears of people like ruth who told me we've had an increase in our council tax to pay for more police.
But we have no police station. The only increase we've had is in the crime rate, I worry about my elderly parents safety
in their own home.
Real spheres are not unfounded.
Violent crime is rising while police numbers have fallen to their lowest level for 30years.
The chief constable of bedford says we do not have the resources
to keep residents safe and no one seems to be listening.
Well Labor is listing. We'll put another 10,000 police officers back on our streets.
Playing a vital role in tackling crime and making people safer.
But, if we want to reduce crime,
more police are only part of the solution.
Every study tells us that in investing in young people in communities is key and crime thrives amidst economic failure.
So under labor, there will be no more left behind areas and no more forgotten
We know we know the earliest years.
A crucial time
to open up
children's life chances.
Yesterday I visited the greenhouse nursery here in liverpool
and heard their experiences and talk to the children there.
But across the country nurseries can't make ends meet.
Youth clubs and nurseries are closing.
Decent early years education is now at risk of becoming a privilege.
Families most in need are not even entitled to it,
and many who struggle to claim it because of the systems fragmented and underfunded nature.
This government's limited childcare pledge has turned out to be free in name only.
So today,
I can announce that labour will make 30 hours a week of free child care available for all 23and4 year olds.
and We will
provide additional subsidized hours for child care on top of the 330hours
allowance. Free for those on the lowest incomes and kept￡4 an hour for the rest.
Labor will also invest in the people who care for and educate our children.
Will raise the standard of child care across the board.
With a 10 year plan to shift to a graduate led workforce and improve the pay and skills of all child care staff.
With a new
a new national pay scale for all early years workers starting
at￡10 an hour.
This is an investment.
And a pay rise
for a workforce.
98%of whom are women and85%of whom earn around the minimum wage,
patchy support for child care
is holding back too many parents and families and the life chances of too many children.
This universal,
free, high quality child care will benefit parents, families, and children,
all across our country.
Driving up standards for child care will make the vital difference for millions of our children.
Labor is offering a long overdue change that will transform people's lives and make the needs
of the 21st century britain for all.
We're talking about rebuilding britain this week.
But I also want to make an appeal to the older generation
who built modern britain.
It was you
who rebuilt our country after the war.
Kick started our economy, built our nh s and, created our social security system.
It was your generation that built the council housing,
one, our rights at work and made our country
a better place for all. It was your work and taxes that paid for a better retirement for those who went before you.
so We owe it to you.
The older generation
to rebuild britain. So you have a piece of mind and dignity.
We will fulfill that obligation with a triple lock on pensions protected,
along with the winter fuel allowance, a bus pass.
And a national health and care service that can look after you and your families with the respect that you deserve.
This is solidarity between all
conference to rebuild our public services and our communities. We're going to have to rebuild
and transform our economy for the 21st century.
We can no longer tolerate a set up
where the real economy in which millions work
is just a sort of side show for the city of london,
and for banks fixated on piling up profits around the world.
The change we need requires new ideas and new thinking,
as well as learning from those that have worked in the past and in other countries.
We need to explore new forms of ownership and public enterprise and learn
from creative local initiatives from those taken by local councils, including preston in the northwest.
and Let's take up the call from from tuc general secretary,
take up the call from tuc general secretary francis or grady to use new technologies and automation
as an opportunity,
rather than a threat,
a chance to raise living standards and give people more control over their own lives.
inequality is not just a matter of incomes.
It's about having a real say, too.
That's why we're not only determined to rebuild our economy, communities, and public services,
but also to democratize them
and change the way
our economic system is run
in the interests of the majority.
John mcdonald's proposals for inclusive ownership funds
will mean workers sharing more fairly in the rewards of successful businesses.
Now listen carefully to the words of the archbishop of canterbury just in well be.
And read the excellent commission on economic justice report, he was involved in which rightly argued
economic justice needs to be hard, wired
into the way the economy works.
The 19th century, chartist leader and poet
ernest jones wrote this.
and What we get,
and what we give,
we know,
and we know our share.
We're not too low.
The class we weave,
but too low the cloth
to where he was making the.
that workers know the reality of their position.
Labour believes a workers' position is on the board.
That's That's why we're proposing to give the workforce of all large uk businesses, the right to elect.
Third of the seats on the board,
giving employees a genuine voice
and a stake and shifting the balance at work in favor of the wealth creators,
improving both decision making and productivity
in the process.
Decisions take him in boardrooms, affect people's pay, their jobs
and their pensions.
Workers deserve a real, say,
in those decisions.
It's actually nothing for businesses to be afraid of.
They should welcome
the expertise and the understanding that workers will bring to the company board.
We will re balance,
we will re balance power in the workplace.
but I say to business is, large and small,
labour will also deliver
deliver what you need to succeed
and to expand and modernize our economy, more investment
in transport and housing and digital infrastructure,
more investment in education and skills.
So workers can be more productive
action to save the high street.
As rebecca long bailey set out yesterday,
an action to deal with rip off bills that hit us all.
but Most of all,
most of all a commitment to a break sit that protects the jobs, the economy and trade,
and determined opposition to one that does not
10 years ago, this month,
the whole edifice
of greed is good.
Deregulated financial capitalism
lauded for a generation is the only way to run a modern economy, came crashing down to earth
with devastating consequences.
But instead of making essential changes to a broken economic system,
the political and corporate establishment strained every senior to bail out and prop up the system
that led to the crash in the first place.
The price of that
has not just been stagnation.
Wages falling for the longest period in recorded history,
and almost a decade of deeply damaging cuts to public services.
It's also fueled a growth of racism and xenophobia, a crisis in democracy,
both at home and abroad.
People in this country know that the old way of running things is not working anymore.
unless we Unless we the labor party of a radical solutions,
others, we'll fill the gap
with the politics of blame
and division.
That's why labor speaks for the new majority.
Why last year we won the biggest increase in the labor vote since 1945 and why labors ideas have indeed caught the mood of the times.
And conference.
It isn't me saying that.
No, not me.
It's a former conservative treasury minister lord o'neill.
I've never thought to capture the mood of a tory minister before and let me say to his lordship.
You're welcome.
Come and join us in the new political mainstream, if you wish.
That failed free for all,
which led to the crash of a decade ago,
has also fueled the global environmental crisis
and hamstrung international efforts to tackle it.
There is no bigger threat facing humanity than climate change.
And 21 years ago, labors then deputy leader john prescott played a prominent role in keeping
the and helping to secure the kyoto protocol.
Thank you, john, and thank you for being here today and supporting us
that united the world's major economies behind an agreement to cut carbon emissions
and obliged them to give poorer countries access
to low carbon technology.
It was about solidarity recognizing that the air we breathe
does not respect
national boundaries.
and We all have an interest in every nation
of reducing emissions and giving us all cleaner, less polluted air.
The contrast with the america first posturing of donald trump
and his decision to pull out of the paris
climate change accords
could not.
Bishop. We only have one,
planet. so We must re engage with countries
seeking to walk away from paris.
We must also lead, by example.
Yesterday, rebecca long bailey set out our plans for energy,
developed with our environment shadow secretary sue heyman.
Plans that are ambitious
that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs,
mobike, britain, the only developed country outside scandinavia to be on track
to meet our climate change obligations.
That will mean working with unions
to ensure jobs and skills are protected
as we move towards a low carbon economy
and working with industry to change the way we build to train the workforce that will retrofit our homes
and work in the new energy industries too.
so I can announce today.
I can announce this today that our program
of investment and transformation
to achieve a 60% reduction in emissions by 2030 will create
400,000 skilled jobs
to ensure that comes about good jobs,
good jobs based here and on union rates, bringing skills and security to communities all over the country that have been held back
for far too long.
and We will go further
with plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by the middle of the century.
and I am determined that we achieve that.
I know that sounds ambitious and he is
and will be delivered
with the most far reaching program of, investment and transformation.
In decades, labor will kick start a green jobs revolution that will help tackle climate change,
provides sustainable energy for the future and create skilled jobs in every nation and region of this country.
but It's
It's not just the economic system
that is unsustainable.
Britain's relationship with the rest of the world, our foreign policy is no longer sustainable either.
We're entering a new, fast changing
and more dangerous world,
including the reckless attacks, in salisbury,
which the evidence painstakingly assembled by the police now points clearly to the russian state.
When president trump takes the us out of the paris accord and tries to scrap
the iran nuclear deal, moves the us embassy to jerusalem, aggressive
nationalism and trade wars. He is turning his back on international cooperation,
and even on international law,
we need a government in britain not only keeps the country safe, but can also speak out,
speak out for democratic values and human rights.
Today's conservative government,
today's conservative government continues to collude
with the disastrous saudi led war in yemen, turning a blind eye to evidence of war crimes and the devastating suffering
of millions of civilians.
That's why I was honored to attend the vigil this week, held in liverpool by the yemeni community and protest against what is taking place.
Labors foreign policy will be driven by progressive values and international solidarity,
led by our international team, emily thornbury, katosomal and near griffith.
This means no more
reckless wars of intervention like iraq or libya. It means putting.
It means putting negotiation before confrontation, diplomacy before top something threats.
and It means
human rights and democracy.
Everywhere, not just where it's commercially convenience
and working working to resolve the world's injustices,
not standing idly by or worse,
fueling them in the first place.
Sometimes, our hopes can be betrayed.
Many of us campaigned to the release of incense sushi,
imprisoned by the myanmar military for fighting for democracy.
Today, the myanmar military government, which anne sang sushi, nominally leads,
stands accused of grave atrocities against the rehunger people.
Nearly 1 million have fled to neighboring bangladesh
and women and girls, in particular, face appalling violence.
We demand that the myanmar government ends its horrific ethnic cleansing and allows the rehunger people to return home and rebuild their communities
and their lives in safety and security.
Let me say a few words about the ongoing denial of justice and rights
to the palestinian people.
Our party.
Our party is united in condemning the shooting of hundreds of unarmed demonstrators in gaza by its ready for,
and the passing of israel's discriminatory nation state law.
The continuing occupation,
the expansion of illegal settlements.
and The imprisonment of palestinian children are an outrage.
We support,
we support a two state solution to the conflict with a secure israel and a viable and secure
palestinian state.
But 1/4, a century on from the oslo accords, we are no closer to justice or peace and the palestinian tragedy continues.
While the outside world stands by,
as my great israeli friend,
the late erie avenue, who sadly died a short while ago,
put it to me.
What is the alternative to peace?
A catastrophe for both peoples
and in order to help make
that two states settlement of reality,
we will recognize a palestinian state as soon as we take off it.
We will also make a far more determined effort
to help bring an end to the terrible war in syria,
a war that has led to millions of refugees.
Some of whom I met in jordan this summer, wonderful, brave people,
desperate to go home,
desperate to see peace, wondering how their families are getting on at home, a short distance away,
and whose plight
elf dubs described so powerfully yesterday.
Thank you for that.
And thank you for all you do for refugees all the time.
The syrian conflict has been fueled by the military intervention
of multiple powers.
and It will need those same powers
to deliver and negotiated peace settlement,
to end the killing
and allow those wonderful refugees the right,
which they want
to return home
to their own country.
But labors plans to rebuild and transform our country and its relationship with the rest of the world.
Having to be made against the backdrop,
huge uncertainty about breaks it.
Labour respects the decision of the british people in the referendum.
But no one.
No one.
Can respect the conduct of the british government since the vote took place.
We all hope that the people's decision would be followed by effective
and responsible negotiations
that would protect living standards and jobs.
Instead, the main negotiations that have been taking place
are actually between different factions of the tory party. And the only job the government is fighting to protect is that of the prime minister.
Theresa may used to say
that no deal
is better than a bad deal.
yeah Now, after 2 years of botched negotiations,
she's threatening the country with just that choice, a bad deal or no deal.
That it's a threat to our whole economy,
especially our manufacturing industry,
and the tens of thousands of skilled jobs in the supply chains here in britain.
Now, time is running out.
Companies losing patience in the absence of any clarity from the government.
They Planning to relocate
jobs abroad and in taking investment with them.
Some already started and I fear more will follow.
The tories are well aware of this.
But some some see bricks it as their opportunity
to impose a free market shop doctrine
on britain.
The prime minister is in new york today.
Promising that a post breaks it, britain
will offer the lowest corporation taxes of all g 20 nations
handouts for to the few
paid for by the many.
and It already
tried and failed strategy for boosting investment,
such a job it,
set out his plan for more tax giveaways
and ripping up people's pensions rights.
Liam fox is itching to secure
and scrap workers rights and privatize the nhs
with a side order
of chlorinated chicken.
And then there's jacob rees mag.
No, jacob has expressed his personal face in bricks, britain.
It's personal and he's expressed it so nicely,
because he's decided to base his new investment fund
in the euro zone.
The tory bricks it is
unite the politics
of the 1950s with the economics of the 19th century.
Day dreaming about a britannia.
Both rules, the waves,
and waves the rules.
Labors job is now to win support for a deal that meets the needs of the country
combined with our plan to rebuild and transform
with investment in our people and our economy.
Our priority is clear.
We aim to get the best breakfast deal for jobs and living standards to underpin our plans to upgrade
our economy and invest in every community and every region that will bring people together
