conference in liverpool, the policy goals. it made the speech. this is over one hour.

>> thank you. i want to say thank you to everyone today. also before the speech, i want .o say a huge thank you

and i want to say thank you to all the labour party. i have a message on the way in and 800 feet already in the hall. either way, we're holding the

party's annual conference. the city of liverpool that suits our country, the culture and our music. central toas been the labour party and our movement. some people have said campaign and progress do not change things. the families have shown how wrong that is. it has taken 27 years but those families as shown with great courage and dignity, finally there is justice. i want to pay tribute for all the families and campaigners with their commitment and love. thank you.

we must learn from them and we promise that those campaigning for justice, that thousands of workers blacklisted for being trading errors, we will support your battle for truce and justice. when we return, you will have the. because winning justice for all and changing society for the benefit of all is the heart of what labor is about. yes, our party is about campaigning and it is about protest as well, but most of all, it is our. local and national government.

our country desperately needs it. the central task must be to .ebuild support powerful change and britain with the benefit of working people. this todayf us in would know we only get to we work together and it is fair to say after when we in denver, it has not been exactly the case. it is a testing time for the whole or any.

first, murder. followed by the shock and referendum result. and then the tipping over of divisions in parliament. filledling was a hate pack on democracy. it shocked the whole country. joe cox did not believe in loving. she believed in loving her neighbors neighbor and every life canceled. speech, we have far more things -- far more in common with each other than things that divide us. let that truth guide us as we come together again to challenge the government and it should your power.

thanks to her family for all and all been through they had been through in her life. both good friends of mine -- through and through. let me also paid particular tribute to the colleagues that the board in the shadows. and ensure that labor could function for parliament. they stepped up when the party bash and the country, needed

them does their. thatnference should think .oday i hope we don't make a habit of it. over one or 50,000 joint .ccording

i am honored to be elected for a bigger mandate. we all have less of a responsibility to work together more effectively. i'm delighted thank him for the campaign and the work. also, the labour party and the brilliant team for the members of parliament. one lesson is there is a

responsibility for all of us to take care with our rhetoric appeared respect our differences and respect each other. having aobust debate time spilled over into abuse and hate around the country, including misogyny, especially on social media. let me make it clear, that is unacceptable. the party must be a safe and welcoming space for everyone. we will continue to make firm action against abuse and affirmation. unless it makes it clear that anti-semitism is evil. us has a of responsibility to ensure that it is never allowed in our society

again. this party always have and always will fight against prejudice and president with every breath in our body. the largest political party in western europe with over half a million members campaigning in every community in britain. more people have joined our party in the last 20 months than in the previous 20 years. we have more fellow citizens in our party than all the other

political parties and altogether. some might say this is a threat and i see it as a fast democratic result cleared the membership is part of a movement that can take labor messages into every community. the election of a labor government. each and every one of these members are welcomed to our party. after a 10 year absence, we welcome back them into our party. we are reunited with the family

but i want to say thank you to all the firefighters, all of the public-sector workers who work so hard for the people. thank you for everything you do. over the past year, we have shown what labor can do when the party stands together. i launched our campaign against the critics and me succeeded. year -- this year, 3 million families with over 1000 pounds because labor study together. when we defeated them. electionsliamentary

and the great victories they have achieved. we had a massive win. the first mayor of the western capital city. that was an incredible when. the first black mayor of any u.s. city. thank you. morality right here in liverpool. congratulations.

we have to challenge the power with a huge growth in the labour party. it is run across britain. there is no doubt it was a year ago and it grew out of the first for a new kind of politics. the conviction the old way of running the economy was delivering for more and more people. it is not about me. it has produced repressed inequality and a political stitch up for the vast majority of people out of power. since the crash of 2008, the depend and the end of

counterproductive austerity has led to the rise no movement. it is one country after another. in britain, it has happened in a different way. in the heart of traditional politics. it is something that we should be a fairly proud of. it is what labor was sounded or to be the voice of men are -- voice of many from the bottom of. but it also means it is no good, going back to the tired old economic system of 30 years ago. broken whereins a new era. the demand politics and economics of our own time.

actually, theresa may gets it. people want change and that is why she was on the steps of the -- inequality of burning injustice. promised the country that would not do for the view but for everyone of us. even if she manages to talk the talk, there are problems. this is not a new government. it is repackaged with progressive programs but with the new right-wing edge. countrythe backward seriously believe they did stand

up to the few. they are the party of the privileged few. funded by the privileged few for the benefit of the television view. it is a party after all that wants to force through an undemocratic view based on an out-of-date version of the electoral register with nearly 2 million voters missing. they dressed it up as a cost of politics. by abolishing the constituency, but the 12 million are dwarfed on the expense of the 260 million peers at a cost of 34

million pounds a year. it is nothing more than a cynical attempt to gerrymander the next election. this is from my prime minister who was elevated to a job without a single count after a pantomime cost which saw one leading to the other. us hasthat only one of been elected to the office they hold by 3 million people. >> they are simply incapable of going to the breakout because

that is absolutely in their political dna. it is what they deliver every time they are in government. the regulating, outsourcing, advertising and stand by inequality grows. taxes for the perfect view. and turninge cheap a blind eye to the tax avoidance. they are so committed to the interest of the very richest that they don't care about government, something called deficiencies are. i am not sure but it does but i will say while government might be a bit more efficient, if the superrich actually a their taxes.

>> when government steps back, there are consequences. look at what is happening in houston. it has fallen to the lowest level since the 1920's. homeownership is falling as more people priced out of the market. disgracefully, they don't look. it is year after year. homes are being sold without being replaced. allconsequence of that is of us are paying over $90 funds. to private instead of spending public money . that is wasteful and poor government.

labor will go over one million new homes. and we continue with .ill have a decent home it is the same in the jobs market. there was an explosion of jobs baird one million people on zero hours contract not knowing what it will be going through. now 6 million working people earning less than the wind -- living wage. poverty is at record levels. that did not happen by accident. employment rights had been torn up and deliberately trying to weaken the organization with

justice. of course, unions among taking this lying down. justice and -- exploited workers. holes like ashley to an account. they will appeal that and they .ill do their jobs and we will raise the minimum

wage to a real living wage that brings working out of poverty and will bend them. mcdonald set this out very clearly. and then there is a scandal. more public subsidies over the moresh, more delays, cancellations and on top of that come of the highest bets. that is why the great majority of british people are set out so well to take the real wells back.

if you want the most spectacular example where governments that back, the global banking crash . there one that not reckon think it's happen again. labor is offering solutions. during the leadership campaign, i had pledges that could be the platform for the party program over the next election.

out the scope of the change. full employment and the housing guaranteed. , public national health service until some care needed in national education service for all. action on climate change. the cost and inequality and anlth, action to secure equal society and it will justice at the heart of our foreign policy. do not worry. i have not come down from the mountain. they are here already. forumis a national policy and the whole party needs to build on it.

ideas and imagination. we want to help and refining his policies. take them out to the people of this country, take them out so we have some work. platform wille therefore be the framework of what labor campaigns have. and what the labor government will do. together, the directional change with a program to rebuild and trends arm with them. they are shaved to meet challenges of the 21st century. they are valleys labored in united. they have aspirations of the majority of our people and they .re valued where people

it is in a way that can make a real difference for many people. despite cynical government funding costs that it labor councils often representing the poorest part of the country. good examples like nottingham city council setting up not the areas with non-so affordable energy. taking 100,000 passengers everyday.

working to favor local procurement and keep money in wi-fiwn or providing free in 69 public buildings. it is setting up the company to build 1000 new homes. and right here in liverpool with the global forefront of a new wave of technology. . startupso create 300 and 1000 jobs over the next decade and many other examples. each and every labor council or as a hostile thanks for the difficulties being newer.

i want to go further because we want local government to go further and a public enterprise back into the heart of the economy and services to meet the need of the community. it is an engine of a local growth and development. that is why i am announcing labor will remove artificial borrowing caps and allow them to borrow against the housing stock. that single measure alone will allow them to build an extra 12,000 council on the year. ofreasingly with the policy in-house as the preferred provider and many counts against

cleaners and that in the house. privatizing contracts to save money and ensure good terms and conditions. one in six workers in britain are now self-employed the right to a valley their independence but too many, it comes with an security and the rights. people,self-employed including those in their taxes and not fully covered. successful innovators have maxis to finance necessary take their ideas to the next level.

work, we will make sure the arrangements are mixed for the 21st century. [applause] >> labor is the party of investing in the future. [applause] >> it is the same level of investment, we could be so much more. unlocking so much skill. that is why we have established in the national investment bank of the heart of the plan to rebuild and transform this country. we will borrow to invest.

we would generate far greater returns. it would be foolish not to. it is expanding the economy and the income it generates will help us all in the house us. even this government, after years, it is something to change. i am not content with accepting second-class results. not content with being the united states and germany with cutting edge technology while also having it beyond. the prime minister promised the universal service of service. since then, the government has done nothing, letting down entrepreneurs, especially those in rule or areas. that is why we have sent out proposals were national investment banks. 500 billion investors to bring

us housing and on energy infrastructure. a country that does not exist is a country that has given up. it is a path of managed . the country would never accept second-best. the country's history is based on individual ingenuity and collective endeavor. --rning and sarah guffey sony people that have developed so much.

and lastpending first on research as a share of national income than france, germany, the u.s. and china. research and development to 30% of gdp. yesterday, rebecca sent out and it wase review an economy that worked for every part of this country. there is a say in the review. talentterms of money but and rich in potential, that is

why we propose the national education service of the heart of the program. it is delivering high-quality .ducation for our lives education has always been a labor of valium. -- a labor of value. serviceonal education which is an essential part of the 21st century. , retrained to retain and upgrade their skills. britain already lags behind others in productivity. it is about investing in technology and infrastructure. it is about investing in people and skills. how can we build and expand the

future without the skills? this conservative government has splashed all dealt -- adult education. strugglinginesses for the skilled workforce. today, a new deal for great britain. .e will provide the investments we will fund the investment which will lead to a more productive economy and providing businesses to contrive. helping to provide over one million retails. musttment in capital include investment in human capital. the workers needed to make the economy as success. to help pay for national education services, we ask you

to pay for more. pledging to raise corporation taxes i lesson 1.5% to give an socation to college students that every young learner can support themselves as they develop skills and get all of visions. and get qualifications. [applause] >> economic success. businessze that good needs of level playing field. we will clamp down on those that dodge taxes. it should not be under cuffed by those who do not play by the rules. [applause]

>> there was nothing more than not paying taxes. of --y, it is an act damaging all the people social care -- older people's education. it will make the shabby tax avoidance a thing of the past. [applause] our national education service is going to be everything as vital as our national hope service. education ishat not simply about preparing for the workplace. an expiration of knowledge and the creativity for every human being. people should have the chance to learn and take part in drama.

get access in the gallery in the local area. introduce awe will pupil premium for every private school in england and wales. extend have a role to the premium to all sectors. we will pay 160 million votes. [applause] supportt in projects to productivity for schools over the longer-term. differentrdly be more for education. the only plan is a return of her school segregation and second-class schooling. and what i great job in opposing the amendment.

this saturday, i want you to take this message in your community that labor is standing up for education, for all. grammar schools are not the only way tories are bringing division back to our society. testede also using the tricks of demonizing and skate coding to distract from their failures. unemployed, disabled, or migrants. tori ideas are always someone else's fault. [applause] those have consequences,

from children being bullied in school to attacks on the streets such as rising disability hate crime. i am so proud of this party. in the last year, we stood up to government on behalf of disabled people's benefits and on monday, our pension secretary announced we would be scrapping the punitive sanctions regime and degrading work ability -- capability assessment. [applause] as politicians, activists, citizens, we have zero tolerance towards those who with the hate and division. stand together against racism, islamophobia, and anti-semitism

and defend those being demonized. [applause] shaming to our multicultural society, the assaults on migrants have been -- increased since a campaign that has whipped up division. it isn't migraine -- migrants employment, wn [applause] it is not migrants who put a strain on our national health service, it is only going because of the migrant doctors keeping it going. it isn't migrants who have

caused the housing crisis, it is the tory government that has failed to build homes. [applause] immigration can put extra pressure on services, that is why under gordon brown, labor sets up the migrant impact fund. to provide extra funding for communities that have the wisest -- largest rising populations. good plan. very effective. it and demonized migrants for putting pressure on services. a labor government will not offer false promises on immigration as the tories have done. we had -- will tackle the real issues on immigration. endill act decisively to the undercutting of workers paying conditions to the explications of migrant workers

which could reduce the number of migrant workers in the program. [applause] pressure onis the hard-pressed public services that are struggling to absorb tory cuts in communities observing new populations. labor will reinstate the migrant impact fund and get extra support to areas of high migration, using the visa levy for its intended purpose. we will add a citizenship application to the levy to boost the fund. that is the labor way to tackle social tension. not racism and division. [applause] this party campaigned hard to remain in the european union and i spoke at rallies from cornwall to aberdeen for our labor

reform. but unlike most labor voters, we did not convince millions of natural labor voters, especially in parts of the country left behind by years of neglect under investment and industrialization. now we face the future together. we are not helped by patronizing those in our community devoted to leave. we have to hear their concerns about jobs, wages, immigration, a future for their children and we have to respect their boats and the decisions of the british people. of course, that does not mean make andblank check to ers as they work up a negotiating plan. they have a distraction from that because they have to squabble about whose turn it is to go to germany,

we have made it clear that we will resist a brexit at the expense of workers rights and social justice. [applause] we set out our red lines on employment, environmental and social protection, and access to the european market but will also be pressing our own brexit freedom toluding the inconvenient in our own industries like steel. [applause] and building a new relationship with europe based on cooperation -- international and as europe faces the impact of a refugee crisis you'll by wars across the middle 80's -- fueled by wars.

the report made absolutely clear the lessons to be learned from the disastrous invasion and occupation of iraq. war month, support for the n libya -- the spread of terrorism upon -- across an arc of conflicts that have displaced millions of people, forcing them from their countries. that is why i believe it was right to apologize on behalf of the party. right to say that we had learned a lesson. [applause]

that such a say catastrophe must never be allowed to happen again. we need a foreign policy taste on justice and human rights. i tell you this today, what great news it is to hear the peace treaty that has been agreed in columbia after 50 years of devastating war. [applause] and we need to honor our international treaty obligations , nuclear disarmament as much as we do on human rights and encourage others to do the same. that we are a long way from that humanitarian vision. britain continues to sell arms to saudi arabia, a country the united nations says is committing repeated violations of humanitarian law, war crimes

sunday it wason good to stand alongside the yemeni community in liverpool. [applause] crimes going on in other places such as syria. there has to be a political solution to the conflicts. [applause] so today i make it clear that under a labor government, when onre are credible reports human rights abuses, all -- for committed,being british arms sales will be suspended starting with saudi arabia. [applause]

last year [applause] last year the votes we needed to win power went many different ways in all parts of our country while millions of our potential voters stayed at home. many did not believe we offered an alternative that they wanted. it is true, there is an electrical of decline. but if we focused everything on the needs and aspirations of middle and lower income voters, ordinary families, if we a viablete we have alternative to the government's i amd economic policies, convinced we could build the list oral support that could be the tories. this means [applause] means being the voice of

, middle and people lower income workers, the unemployed the self-employed, and those struggling with the impact of migration at work and those struggling to secure better lives for themselves and their community. thread like a golden today as throughout our history is the struggle for our -- equality. sapping the potential of our fabric, herring at its labor's gold isn't just the quality, it is about power. we want a new settlement for the 21st century. environment,the and our relationships with the rest of the world. every one of us in the labour party is motivated by the gap

between what our country is and what it could be. [applause] know that in the sixth largest economy in the world, the food banks, stunted life chances and growing poverty on an undreamt of scale are a mark of a shameful and totally unnecessary failure. [applause] [applause] we know how great this country could be to all of its people with a new political and economic settlement. with new forms of democratic public ownership driven by investment in the technology and industry of the futures. decent jobs and education and housing for all. local services run by and for tople, not out sourced faceless corporations.

looking.ot backwards this is the socialism of the 21st century. [applause] job is now to win over the unconvinced of our vision. only that way can we secured the labor government we need. let's be frank, no one will be a vision promoted by a divided party. we all agree on that. [applause] so i ask each and everyone of you to accept the decision of the members, and trench warfare and work together to take on the tories. [applause]

conference anything else is a luxury that the millions of people who depend on labor cannot afford. be a low --e will local elections next may in .cotland, in wales thank you labor scotland and wales and across the county and england. and there will be elections here too, where my good friend steve rothman will be. [applause]

best of luck, i will miss your comradeship, humor, criticism and wonderful support. [applause] and on the same day, we are electing john in birmingham. [applause] three big labor victories on the same day, are we agreed on that? [applause] , there is always a but isn't there? we could also face a general election next year. whatever the prime minister says is a elections, there

chance to theresa may will cut and run for early election. so today we put ourselves on notice. labor is preparing for a general election in 2017. [applause] and we hope and expect all our members to support our campaign. we will be ready for the challenge whenever it comes. [applause] it in the spirit of the great scots born liverpool manager bill shanklin. andy, don't leave. [laughter]

they are going to like you andy, its ok. the socialism i believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. that is how i see football and that is how i see life. [applause] we are not all bill shanklin's. my experience was shaped by my mom and dad. the teacher and an engineer. both very committed socialists and campaigners. to come inspiration was been's girls that they could -- convince girls that they could achieve anything in their lives. [applause] to inspired so many girls

take up science and engineering because of her example. in my experience, working as a volunteer teacher in jamaica when i was a young man top so much about the strength of communities and showing the most amazing solidarity to each other in poverty and remote communities to determine to -- achieve something collectively good for the community. [applause] and later, i spent years as it organizer representing low-paid workers fighting for women -- minimum wage and conditions. unions make us strong but also determination of people to be strong for themselves and above , thattrong for each other shakes my politics, ideas and my values. [applause]

as the great american poet langston hughes put it, i see that my own hands can make the world that is in my mind. [applause] everyone here and everyone of our hundreds of thousands of members has something to contribute to our cause. that is why we will unite, build on our policies, take our vision out to a country crying out for change. million and will be many more. we will work together to make our country the place it could be. conference united, we can change the future. britain in aairer

peaceful world. thank you. [applause]
