introductory remarks, that was a labour party that had just lost an election. you going to actually set up that labour majority government? what are you going to do in government? we did make progress in the east of england and in the places you mentioned, but we have got to do more. i said to my shadow cabinet we have to step up again. the trajectory we are on is a trajectory that takes us to a majority labour government. i'm very pleased about that. that's notjust about numbers. we are talking today about numbers. we are talking today about the nhs, but if you look across the country, the overwhelming conclusion pretty well now is almost everything is broken, and nobody feels better off now than they did 13 years ago. that is the scale of the challenge, and we need a majority labour government to get there which means we have to earn every vote, including in the east of england, including in the places you mention. i am determined we will continue to do that. but the labour party from where we started to obr has been very, very significant, and most people wh
