00:00If we lead the Welsh Labour government and the government in Wales after...
00:05for me, then key support staff in schools will...
00:10be supported. Support staff are absolutely integral to...
00:15what happens in our schools. They are only paid in term time.
00:20At the moment, and we are pledging to give that pace all your...
00:25around. So all-round pay for the over 30...
00:3040,000 support staff in our schools, including not just teachers...
00:35coaching assistants, but also cleaners, cooks, caretakers...
00:40all of these people are currently due, I think, to have...
00:45an uplift in pay. And we will be bringing this into law.
00:49There are...
00:50a number of reasons why we are challenged at the moment.
00:53What is important?
00:55Is that we look to the future with hope.
00:57That people recognise that now is a time for a new...
01:00chapter for Wales. For the first time, we are seeing more money...
01:05coming into the Welsh Government after years of Tory cuts.
01:10This is a one-off moment of opportunity, a generational...
01:15shift when it comes to the economy in particular, boosting those jobs...
01:19creating new jobs...
01:20and using that extra money as a result of those new jobs...
01:25to pay for our public services.
01:27I see a Labour Party...
01:30in Wales that has given up the fights.
01:33And of course, they will say that they...
01:35that they haven't.
01:38But I think...
01:40evidence...
01:43is...
01:44all around us.
01:45is...
01:46that...
01:47that...
01:48signifies the change...
01:49that...
01:50signifies the change...
01:50of...
01:51political era...
01:53in Wales...
01:54that...
01:55...
01:55is...
01:56upon us now...
01:57with the approach of...
01:58the Senate election.
01:59The sheer number of...
02:00of...
02:01of Labour group members...
02:02that are...
02:03standing down...
02:04in this...
02:05...
02:05election...
02:06that...
02:07the lack of...
02:08energy...
02:09that I feel...
02:10uh...
02:10among Labour...
02:11activists...
02:12and...
02:13elected members...
02:15but more than that...
02:17it's what I see...
02:18on...
02:19those steps...
02:20to lengthen...
02:20Brett of Wales that they feel the time has come for a refresh.
02:25Of the way we do things in Wales, our confidence in.
02:30In putting forward an agenda that suits our.
02:35Picture in Wales that isn't about age old political.
02:40Entitlements that's about actually setting out a vision for the future.
02:45The polls reflect that.
02:48Again, taking nothing.
02:50For granted, we have an opportunity here, not for Plaid, but for Wales.
02:55To have a fresh start.
02:56And I'm determined to do everything I can to deliver that.
