00:00 This election is about a choice, you're absolutely right.
00:03 It's about a choice of two different futures.
00:06 And if we have the Conservatives back in, nothing will change.
00:11 We've had 14 years now of failure.
00:14 Nobody is better off now than they were 14 years ago.
00:18 Labour, and a vote for Labour, is a chance to end that chaos,
00:24 to turn a page, to change for the better of the country,
00:27 to change our NHS, to change our public services,
00:30 to make sure our economy is stable,
00:31 to make sure our communities are cared for,
00:34 and to move forward and rebuild our country.
00:36 That is the choice.
00:38 I accept not a single vote has been cast.
00:41 I'm humble about this and I know every vote must be earned.
00:44 But the power now, under our democracy,
00:47 is with the voters to make that choice.
00:50 With Labour, they can make the choice for change,
00:52 to rebuild our country and take our country forward.
00:54 I'm very confident in the argument that we have to put to them.
00:57 We are going for a Labour government.
00:59 We've always been going for a Labour government.
01:01 I've changed the Labour Party to put it back in the service of working people.
01:05 And what I'm doing is humbly asking the country,
01:08 humbly asking the voters to have their trust,
01:13 to change our country for the better.
01:14 That is the argument that I'll make.
01:16 I'm confident in that argument.
01:18 We're ready for this general election.
01:20 It's hugely important to the country.
01:22 We have the opportunity now to turn our backs,
01:25 turn the page on this awful 14 years
01:28 and to glimpse that better future that will be there with the Labour government.
