in living standards since1870. That is not worthy of a lap of is worthy of a lap of shame and that is therecord of this government. He does have one record thoughbut I donamp。t got the rewards. Youwere the first into the recession but youare the last one out. Now of course it would have takentime to recover fromthe global financial crisis whoever was in power. But when these Toriestellyou that the pain will be worth the gain, donamp。seconomic policy it is in his economic policy. Letme explain why. You see he believes in this thingcalled the global race, butwhat he doesnamp。t win a race for the lowest skilled jobs against countrieswherekids leave school at the age of 11. And the more we try the worse thingswill get for you. It is arace to the bottom. Britain cannot and should not winthat race. You see it is not the lowachievements of these Tories that really gets me. That is badenough. It istheir low aspirations。 There is nothing funny about that. He said it waswrong to frack in someareas but it was ok in others, it was ok in the North East of Englandbecausehe said, and I quote amp。t understand their lives and a PrimeMinister who cannot walk in theirshoes. We are Britain, we are better than this. Now, to make Britain better wehave got to win a race to the top, not a race to the race to the topwhich means that other countries will buy our goods the panies will eandinvest here and that will create the wealth and jobs we need for the future butwe are notgoing to be able to do it easily. It is going to be tough and let mejust say this friends. You thinkopposition is tough, you should trygovernment. It is going to be tough。rsquo。lsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。s notexactly like being leader ofthe Labour Party. But look, for so many parents in this country thedemands ofthe daily school run, bined with their job are like their very own dailyassaultcourse and weamp。ve gotto change that. In the last century, schoolsstayed open till midafternoon and that was okay back thenbecause one parentusually stayed at home. But itamp。vealso got to deal with the issue of low pay. The NationalMinimum Wage, one ofthe last Labour governmentamp。ve got to do the same again. The minimum wagehas been falling in valueand weamp。ve got to do it on theright basis amp。ve got to call a halt to the race to the bottom, betweenworkers alreadyhere and workers ing here. Iamp。s a race to the bottom。s a race to thebottom。rsquo。rsquo。lsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。s a bit of a British thing isnamp。rsquo。ndash。ndash。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。weamp。rsquo。rsquo。ndash。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。lsquo。rsquo。rsquo。 not under my government. And our country, sending out a message totheworld that if you need to engage in shady employment practices, thenBritain is open forbusinesses? Itamp。rsquo。mproudof the wele Britain gave me and my family, and weamp。s what we willdo: the next Labour government willstrengthen the minimum wage to make workpay for millions in our country. Thatamp。t often say anything nice about the banks but I willtoday, there are somesectors which actually can afford to pay higher wages, and some of themare aliving wage in some of the banks. So weamp。s wrong in one of the richestcountries in the world. The next Labourgovernment must write the next chapter in dealingwith the scourge of low payin this country. And to do that though, weamp。s why we want everyprimaryschool in Britain to have the breakfast clubs and after school care thatparents need andthatamp。t win the raceto the top withstressed out parents and family life under strain amp。 itamp。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。rsquo。 In onecasual asidedismissing one whole region of the country. Letamp。 it is high hopes forthem. And everyso often you know the mask slips doesnamp。t win a race for the lowest wages against countries wherewages rates are pennies anhour and the more we try the worse things will getfor you. Britain canamp。t solvethe cost ofliving crisis and here is why. The cost of living crisis isnamp。ll beasking am I better off now than I was five years ago? And we alreadyknow the answer formillions of families will be no. Youamp。ll try and keep the promise. Anyway, back toDavid Cameron, so he is going onthis lap of honour, everything is brilliant, heamp。sdone as Prime Minister. Claiming creditfor his enormous achievements, how he has saved theeconomy as they put it. Nodoubt heamp。s future depends on it. I say weare Britain we can do better than this. Now I have got a question for youladies and gentlemen, do the Tories get it? [Audience: No] Oh e on, I didnamp。m going to say today about what needs tochange about our country. Forgenerations in Britain when the economy grew themajority got better off. And then somewherealong the way that vital linkbetween the growing wealth of the country and your family financeswas is, this goes beyond one party or one government. It is more important toyouthan which party is in power, even more important than that. You see, when Iwas growing up inthe 1980s, I saw the benefits of growing prosperity, peopleable to buy a house, a car, even asecond car, go on a foreign holiday theirgrandparents would never have dreamed of. Not spendall their hours at work,able to spend time with kids, not working all the hours that god sends,have asecure pension in retirement and also believe that their kids would have abetter life thanthem. That feels a long way away from where Britain is todaydoesnamp。 and you haveyour own, and your friends and family, what do you learn? All of thesepeoplelove Britain, they embody its great spirit, but they all believe that Britaincan do betterthan this. Today I say to them and millions of others youamp。. And he said to me, amp。t have one,but thatamp。d been at. Hestopped in me the street, he said to me,amp。Why does everybody portray me as a burdenon the system? I am not aburden on the system, I am going out, I am doing the right thing forthecountry, why doesnamp。t give me hisname, but he did tell me his story about how hespent the last ten years looking after hisdisabled wife, and the
