00:00 But I hope this is the last speech you'll hear from me on this podium before a general election
00:07 Because just like you I am sick of being in opposition
00:12 When you elected me three and a half years ago, it was the honor of my life
00:18 But you didn't elect me to be deputy leader of the opposition
00:22 You elected me to be deputy prime minister of a Labour government
00:27 [Applause]
00:39 A Labour government that will transform people's lives like the last Labour government changed my own
00:46 Now we have a great week in store
00:49 But it comes after one where we saw the chaotic face of today's Tory party
00:55 They've had quite a year since we last met. The leader who lost to a lettuce
01:00 The Chancellor who forgot his own tax return and forgot to declare it too
01:05 Gavin Williamson forced to resign because he turned out to be a bully. Who knew?
01:11 Dominic Raab also forced to resign as a bully
01:16 I think everyone knew that one except the Prime Minister apparently. And there's the Home Secretary
01:22 Sacked as a threat to national security. The same Home Secretary reappointed next week
01:28 I think they call that time served
01:30 Apparently she believes in the rehabilitation of offenders after all
01:49 And now we have a Prime Minister refusing to hand over his whatsapp messages
01:53 I assume Jacob Rees-Mogg's also refused to hand over his carrier pigeon
01:58 Conference, throughout all of it, the Prime Minister simply can't stand up for the country against his party
02:10 He's apparently
02:12 Planning another reshuffle. Maybe that's why he thinks we're offering him seven different bins for different kinds of rubbish
02:19 [Laughter]
02:21 (applause)
02:23 (audience applauding)
