00:00 Labour's plan is all about helping people to get work, keep work and get on in their work
00:07 by tackling the root causes of worklessness.
00:10 So many people out of work because they can't get the NHS treatment they need, the mental health support.
00:16 We would recruit 8,500 more mental health staff, get proper mental health support in every community and every school
00:24 and we'd reform social security so it makes work pay.
00:28 The Tories are railing against a problem they have caused and they have no plan to put that right.
00:34 Far too much is being made about divisions in the Labour Party that don't exist.
00:40 We want the same thing. It's not a feeling of rancour or anger or disappointment.
00:45 We all want to see an end to the fighting.
00:49 We want to see political leadership and a political solution which is the only way that we will end that.
00:55 and we are all working very hard to achieve that goal.
