00:00And I stand on my record.
00:02Four and a half years ago,
00:03when I took over as leader of the Labour Party,
00:06I got similar questions,
00:07which is, your party has lost really badly.
00:11It may never win an election again.
00:13If it does win an election again,
00:15it'll be 10 years at least off.
00:17And are you capable, as leader of the Labour Party,
00:19of pulling it round and seriously putting it
00:22before the electorate as a credible force for change
00:25within the next five years?
00:26They were the questions I got.
00:28And I said, yes.
00:30Don't wake up to five more years of the Tories,
00:32because if you don't vote Labour,
00:34if you don't vote for change, change won't happen.
00:37Because the first change, the most important change,
00:39which will happen straight away,
00:42is about how we do politics
00:44and returning politics to service.
00:47Because I think people are fed up to the back teeth
00:51with politics as a form of self-entitlement,
00:54self-advancement.
00:55You've seen it in the gambling commission,
00:56but you also saw it with Partygate breaking the rules
00:59which were imposed on everybody else,
01:01the COVID contracts for mates.
01:03All of that comes to an end if Labour form a government
01:08and we return politics to service.
