00:00I didn't grow up wanting to be a politician. I'm a plumber. And two weeks ago, during all this, I
00:07also qualified as a plasterer.
00:09Because even in chaos, even under pressure, I get things done. I am no different to every single person here
00:18in this constituency.
00:19I work hard. That is what we do. Except things have changed a lot over the last few decades.
00:26Because working hard used to get you something. It got you a house, a nice life, holidays. It got you
00:33somewhere.
00:34But now, working hard, what does that get you? Because talk to anyone here and they will tell you.
00:41The people who work hard but can't put food on the table, can't get their kids school uniforms, can't put
00:48their heating on, can't live off the pension they worked hard to save for,
00:52can't even begin to dream about ever having a holiday. Ever. Because life has changed.
00:59Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry.
01:06We are being bled near, we are being bled near any organization. We are being bled near five-year.
