Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer confirms he has waited “a very long time” for the general election on a campaign visit to Abergavenny, South Wales. The Labour leader joked that the prime minister “thought he was laying a careful trap” by calling a July election, but that “he didn't catch us, he caught himself in his own ambush”.

00:00 And we in the Labour Party have been working for and waiting for this general election
00:05 for a very, very long time.
00:07 And if just over a week ago Rishi Sunak thought he was laying a careful trap of an ambush,
00:13 he didn't catch us.
00:15 He caught himself in his own ambush.
00:18 So now we get the chance.
00:20 And what went through, I think, all of those speeches this morning is this strong sense
00:24 that now is the time for change.
00:27 This election is for you.
00:30 Because this is the chance to end the chaos on the division, to turn the page and to rebuild
00:40 Wales and rebuild our entire country together, to elect a government that, as Vaughan said,
00:47 would serve working people here in Wales and make that connection.
00:51 A government in Westminster and a government here in Wales working together and delivering
00:56 for Wales.
