Sir Keir Starmer tells the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw) conference that he knows "times are tough" and have been "for years", but defiantly tells them that he "will fight for working people, fight for the tolerant, decent, respectful Britain that I know and I love".

00:00It's how we change this country. We change it together. I know times are tough.
00:09They've been tough for years. I've seen it through my own family.
00:15And so given everything that working people have been through because of politics.
00:21I know it's a bit rich for politicians to say, Britain needs you. I get that.
00:30But I've always believed in partnership. Those have always been my values when it comes to this movement, to business,
00:38to the whole country.
00:39Because I fundamentally believe that the common bond of our country, the ground that we all share and love, is
00:47stronger than the grievance and division we see in so much of politics.
00:53And so bottling the pride that you all feel for your workplace, your community, your country, that is the key
01:02to changing Britain.
01:04I'm coming out of this period stronger and fairer.
01:08And I tell you now, I will fight for that with every breath I have.
01:12I will fight for working people.
01:14Fight for the tolerant, decent, respectful Britain that I know and I love.
01:19Because that is my politics.
01:21And it is time to strengthen our security, take control of our future, and build a Britain that is fair
01:28for all.
01:28Thank you so much, conference.
