00:13 In Keyneswood, as across the country,

00:17 14 years of Conservative government

00:21 have sucked the hope out of our country.

00:25 There's a feeling that no matter how hard you work,

00:29 you just can't move forward.

00:31 And that with Rishi's recession,

00:33 we're left again paying more and getting less.

00:39 It doesn't have to be this way.

00:41 You know it, I know it, we all know it.

00:45 And when the Prime Minister finally finds the courage

00:48 to give the people a say,

00:51 we're going to need each and every one of you again

00:55 to come out and vote and make sure your voices are heard.
