1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,480
I won't

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,520
uh I won't speak from

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,080
notes because you're not allowed to

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,359
speak from notes in the House of

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,199
Commons I know that because I spent

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,960
nearly 30 years there I was elected six

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:31,960
times to

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:37,000
Parliament four times as a labor Member

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:40,079
of Parliament twice on my own and I say

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,360
that the consolation prize when I beat

11
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:47,440
people they usually end up in the House

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:50,760
of Lords also so get your out my

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,879
road I'm not a stranger here despite

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,399
what some people say on the

15
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,559
doorsteps my youngest child was born

16
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:03,680
here exactly two weeks ago

17
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:08,040
two of my other children live in

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,439
Manchester I'm living in charlon my

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,680
headquarters is in

20
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:16,400
Le and if I'm the Member of Parliament

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,119
everybody will know about it the one

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,159
thing I did agree with a previous

23
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:26,600
speaker was this if labor win this seat

24
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:29,360
at the general election on June the 8th

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,520
absolutely nothing will change

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,040
absolutely

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,880
nothing will

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,280
change as Jess said at the

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,680
beginning and let me put numbers on

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,200
according to the save the children

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,520
fund 43% of the children in this

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,840
constituency are officially living in

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,399
child

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,719
poverty even more

35
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:59,479
staggering

36
00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:03,719
74% of the families in this constituency

37
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:06,439
are of officially classed as lwi income

38
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:09,800
families and I say to the labor friends

39
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:14,080
here that's an absolute disgrace

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Manchester is great but gon is being

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,720
left

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:24,400
behind gerd cofman was my friend for 33

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,400
years and trust me Abel you may call him

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,480
your friend he never called you his he

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,239
used to say to me Abel

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:38,319
Over My Dead Body that's what he used to

47
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,360
say Over My Dead Body and I'm deter that

48
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,840
that will not come true I'm determined

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,319
that that will not come true I'm

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,200
determined I'm determined that this

51
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:53,319
constituency will have someone who will

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,560
make a difference who make everyone sit

53
00:02:53,319 --> 00:03:00,159
up and take notice because if that

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:04,519
doesn't happen those statistics that I

55
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:08,319
have given you will not alter one

56
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:11,280
job Peter is right we're a

57
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,280
Crossroads we're are Crossroads in our

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,879
country and we're at Crossroads in

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,400
international Affairs this is a

60
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:23,239
dangerous and unstable time and

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Parliament needs someone who understands

62
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:26,720
what's going on

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920
well first of all I don't believe for

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,560
one minute that Marine Leen will be

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,080
elected president of France the great

66
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,000
people of France will unite against her

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,480
whoever is the candidate in the second

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,920
round and I hope that that candidate

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,959
will be my friend for 20 years Mr Mel

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,840
who is the radical candidate who is

71
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,040
currently at the heels of the

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,920
establishment parties offering the same

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:10,200
kind of radical political alternative

74
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,879
that I'm offering in this constituency

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,880
and to some extent Jeremy Corbin is

76
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:19,359
offering as leader of the labor party I

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,960
think that he has a very good chance of

78
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:27,840
being the candidate against the in the

79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,479
second round but Peter is absolutely

80
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:32,600
correct when he says

81
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,440
that this is a crisis of the

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:40,919
establishment political parties all over

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:44,880
the world in the United States in France

84
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:49,360
in Greece in France the labor

85
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:53,440
party will score something like 10% of

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,520
the vote the president of France Holland

87
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,160
had to leave the contest when his

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:04,639
personal opinion poll ratings reached

89
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:09,759
4% the labor party in Greece is now

90
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:13,639
extinct eclipsed by the rise of el

91
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:16,600
respects but this is a crisis of the

92
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:20,199
establishment the people of France

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:23,479
suffering in the same kind of austerity

94
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:26,520
as our country has been made to suffer

95
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:29,319
don't consider any of the establishment

96
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,360
alternatives to be the answer to their

97
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:32,919
problem

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,120
and some of them in some countries break

99
00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:38,039
to the left some of them in some

100
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,240
countries break to the right but the

101
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:44,199
beauty of the French system is that

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,120
there has to be a second R I believe

103
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:50,600
that thean will get the highest vote

104
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,720
tomorrow in the first round of voting

105
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,120
but I don't believe that her vote will

106
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,880
rise in the second round and so the

107
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,639
nightmare scenario of the question up I

108
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,639
believe will not

109
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:13,120
GE Jackie that would have had a bit more

110
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:15,400
credibility if you hadn't spent 5 years

111
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,800
propping up the

112
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,599
Tories

113
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,599
supporting tripl

114
00:06:20,599 --> 00:06:25,360
University all for the seat in the back

115
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:30,840
of a ministerial

116
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:34,919
monteo Nick PL Nick PL pled in blood

117
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:37,560
that he would scrap student tuition fees

118
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,680
and then he tripled them so for you to

119
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,479
have the goal to talk about austerity

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520
and the impact that he had on this

121
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:47,319
community when there would never have

122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,240
been a t government if you have't put it

123
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:53,639
into Power you haven't kept it in power

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:57,599
for five long

125
00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:00,120
years the reality is this what you're

126
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:02,680
voting on is an

127
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,520
opposition the Tories are going to win

128
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,759
this election not by nearly as much as

129
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,319
they think they will but they're going

130
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:16,479
to win it the question therefore is who

131
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:19,759
is best to oppose them to defend you

132
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:22,000
against them who's got the best voice

133
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:25,479
the clearest voice who's got the

134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,879
clearest ideas to stand up against them

135
00:07:25,479 --> 00:07:32,280
who doesn't need to bring notes and read

136
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:33,860
from them at his first hustings in a

137
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:39,299
general election

138
00:07:33,860 --> 00:07:39,299
[Applause]

139
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:47,599
[Applause]

140
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:50,159
campaign I'm not stuck in

141
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,159
1997

142
00:07:50,159 --> 00:07:53,159
198

143
00:07:53,479 --> 00:07:59,919
1977 I have a million followers on

144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,919
social media

145
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:06,800
and many of them are watching this on my

146
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:08,639
social media dece so I actually have a

147
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,800
lot of sympathy with the points that

148
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,759
you're making about direct democracy

149
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,199
though I just mentioned to you that not

150
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:17,759
everybody's on the internet not

151
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:21,240
everybody's got a smartphone not

152
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:23,840
everybody is on Twitter or Facebook of

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,720
course increasingly more and more are I

154
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,560
have a lot of sympathy for that point

155
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:31,919
but we mustn't confuse form with content

156
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,880
the content of this election is not

157
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:37,880
about direct democracy or representative

158
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:42,159
democracy it's about who's going to be

159
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:44,279
the MP here to help oppose an almost

160
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,120
certainly reelected conservative

161
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:49,360
government there is nobody in here in

162
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:52,399
their hearts who believes that labor is

163
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,040
going to win an majority at this

164
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:57,640
election but what might happen is that

165
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,480
there will be a collection of people a

166
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:03,200
kind of rainbow of people people who

167
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,160
might be able to at least minimize the

168
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,399
conservatives Victory and might even be

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,880
able to block the return of trees made

170
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:16,920
to damage and I'm certainly in favor of

171
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:19,000
that it's not it's not either or Peter I

172
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:24,040
left school at 17 and went to work in

173
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Mitchell and ties I made z x radial ties

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,200
most NPS can't even change a to none of

175
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,880
my

176
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,519
make and I joined the transport General

177
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:36,560
Workers Union on Christmas Eve 1973 and

178
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:39,680
I'm still a member now of unit I support

179
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:42,920
workers all workers who stand up for

180
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,800
their rights who oppose the bosses

181
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:49,120
attempts to cut their wages and

182
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:53,880
conditions in real terms it's not either

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:57,079
or it's not syndicalism or politics it's

184
00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:00,360
politics and Trade union power it's

185
00:09:57,079 --> 00:10:03,040
Parliament and Council it's local

186
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:06,519
community organizations like this one

187
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,200
and all kinds of uh Civic organizations

188
00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:11,959
acting through the internet and outside

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,200
of the internet we've got to build in

190
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:19,079
this country a coalition of people who

191
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,320
say that £10 an hour is the minimum

192
00:10:19,079 --> 00:10:24,200
living wage in this country and we

193
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,399
demand it and we're going to fight for

194
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,959
the a million Council houses must be

195
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:33,959
built to solve the house housing crisis

196
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,519
that we will not accept austerity in the

197
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:40,120
way that labor did by the way somebody

198
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:43,000
said ear I think it was Jackie the

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,600
pathway to many of the wicked things

200
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,760
that have been done over the last few

201
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,560
years was paved by Tony Blair and Gordon

202
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,920
Brown they

203
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:57,200
introduced many of the things including

204
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:01,160
fees I oppos the introduction of tuition

205
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:04,519
fees goldon Brown said to me it's only

206
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:07,519
,000 I said it's the principle and one

207
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:11,480
day that £1,000 will be

208
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:14,800
£1,000 and he laughed oh how he laughed

209
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,839
well it's nearly £10,000 no would bet

210
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:21,600
against it being 10,000 so these are no

211
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:24,930
either or questions and you shouldn't be

212
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:28,340
seduced into imagining that they are

213
00:11:24,930 --> 00:11:28,340
[Applause]

214
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,959
on this I believe that we can win we can

215
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,040
put together a white enough Coalition

216
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:43,360
Powerful enough to stop the descent into

217
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,600
the Americanization of the British

218
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,320
National Health Service when I entered

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Parliament exactly 30 years ago uh next

220
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:57,240
month Mrs thater was well into the

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,560
course that we have followed ever since

222
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,360
which is the increase use of of the

223
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:04,600
private sector in what is supposed to be

224
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:08,000
a publicly funded free at the point of

225
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:11,279
need National Health Service and Jeremy

226
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,639
Corbin and I opposed it then and we

227
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:18,360
opposed it as Rebel labor MPS when Tony

228
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:21,680
Blair and Gordon Brown continued us down

229
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:24,600
that path and Jackie is right that one

230
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:27,800
of the major reasons for the financial

231
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:31,959
crisis in the National Health Service is

232
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:35,120
the cost of of the payments being made

233
00:12:31,959 --> 00:12:39,600
to the private sector and to the owners

234
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:43,680
of NHS facilities under the bogus PPP

235
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:47,160
and PFI initiatives it's vitally

236
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:50,440
important that we defend the finest

237
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,720
achievement in this country of the 20th

238
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:57,519
century it is something that most people

239
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:00,639
in Britain are ready to defend but the

240
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:03,480
reason why the green party couldn't get

241
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:06,079
the support that they deserved when car

242
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,279
and Lucas introduced that bill is that

243
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:11,079
labor was fatally compromised by the

244
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:14,240
fact that they would be condemning

245
00:13:11,079 --> 00:13:17,839
things that they themselves had

246
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,800
initiated so if I'm the MP I'll be

247
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:22,639
sitting behind jery

248
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:25,079
Corbin and I'll be one of the few that

249
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:27,839
doesn't have a knife in my hand ready to

250
00:13:25,079 --> 00:13:27,839
stab up in the

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,279
back and I'll support this campaign for

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,040
the

253
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:38,279
nationalization the rationalization of

254
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:42,720
the National Health Service properly

255
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:44,690
funded National in character and forever

256
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,039
free other point of

257
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:48,039
[Applause]

258
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:57,199
view record

259
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:59,880
with and I'll direct my comments I'll

260
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:02,639
direct my sorry

261
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,600
I'll direct my comment to Jackie because

262
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:06,560
she

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,160
implied uh more than implied that this

264
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:13,519
was not a question for her but it is you

265
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,480
see Tim far has ruled

266
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:19,120
out going into Coalition with the labor

267
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,399
party in this general election but

268
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:25,399
refused to rule out going back into

269
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:28,519
Coalition with the conservative party so

270
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:31,440
if you vote for Jackie in this general

271
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:34,759
election you're voting for a party that

272
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:38,120
is ruling out being in Coalition with

273
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:40,959
Jeremy Corbin but refusing to rule out

274
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,120
keeping Theresa May in power so you

275
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:45,639
should know that you should go in to

276
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,240
this election with your eyes wide open

277
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:51,480
on that Jeremy Corbin has been my friend

278
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,639
for almost 40 years I sat next to him

279
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,519
literally for uh on most days in the

280
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:59,560
house of commment for almost 30 years

281
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:04,199
he's a good and honest

282
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:06,480
man he's by far and way the best person

283
00:15:04,199 --> 00:15:10,040
running to be prime minister in this

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:14,320
country and when I have the chance to do

285
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:19,120
so I will always defend him and support

286
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:23,160
him now it's true that

287
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:25,920
172 labor MPS have spent the best part

288
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,440
of the last 2 years stabbing Jeremy

289
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Corbin in the

290
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:33,000
back and most

291
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:36,720
AB have been in you on your Twitter feed

292
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
campaigning for you in this election

293
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,480
that's the truth of the matter most of

294
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:46,759
them have been here Tom Watson and a

295
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:50,160
whole R bag of others if I'm elected I

296
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:51,840
will support Jeremy Corbin until my last

297
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,630
bread

298
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:58,200
[Music]

299
00:15:54,630 --> 00:15:58,200
[Applause]

300
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:08,199
well I have four children under 10 and

301
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:12,279
so the issue that's raised is of vital

302
00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:15,360
importance to me because the danger

303
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:21,160
especially for children of being hit by

304
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:24,000
cars at 30 mph or more is a real and

305
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,240
critical problem for people with

306
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,000
children and people without children I

307
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,399
support a 20 mph our speed limit

308
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,839
throughout Manchester I don't believe

309
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:37,199
that any car needs to go faster than

310
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:40,319
that in this

311
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:44,920
city and on the subject of

312
00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:48,079
vots half of Manchester City council's

313
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,639
highways committee are counselors from

314
00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:53,959
this constituency and you only have to

315
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:58,480
go outside to see how poor a job they've

316
00:16:53,959 --> 00:17:01,399
done I have never seen so many portoles

317
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:04,160
in any place in this country that I have

318
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:07,600
seen in the Manchester Gorton

319
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,720
constituency I watched with my own eyes

320
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:17,199
on high road a a motorcyclist coming off

321
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:20,959
his bike hitting a PO hole potholes and

322
00:17:17,199 --> 00:17:25,099
poverty and uncollected rubbish are the

323
00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:30,309
legacy of Labor in mancher

324
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:30,309
[Applause]

325
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,200
I'm glad you planted trees Jackie but I

326
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,720
don't know how many trees have being cut

327
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,720
down for all your refs in

328
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:47,919
this I've never seen so many pieces

329
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:51,880
of saying the

330
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:55,280
same so many do I fully

331
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:59,320
support the friends of box Bill campaign

332
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:02,919
I trly supporter I agree with Jess uh Dr

333
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Mark said the under capitalism all that

334
00:18:02,919 --> 00:18:10,120
is sacred will be profaned and all that

335
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,760
is solid will melt into air the economic

336
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:15,880
and political system the rules almost

337
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:19,240
all of the globe is des spoiling

338
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:22,440
destroying the uh atmosphere destroying

339
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,919
the Earth itself on the subject of

340
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,919
pollution there's uh an article in

341
00:18:24,919 --> 00:18:31,360
today's newspaper that shows that 80% of

342
00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:34,760
people in Britain are living in areas

343
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:37,280
with dangerously High pollution rates

344
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,840
and we have to do something about that

345
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:43,360
or all these other political discussions

346
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:46,440
will be or lastly I made this point it's

347
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,960
slight digression but not really we're

348
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:53,360
living at a moment when nuclear

349
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:56,080
confrontation is is more likely than at

350
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:57,400
any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis

351
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,280
of

352
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:03,039
1963 and that that's the ultimate

353
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:07,320
environmental disaster that's why I'm

354
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:10,120
opposed to the Trident nuclear program

355
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,440
is why I've opposed nuclear weapons all

356
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:16,060
of my life because they are the ultimate

357
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,070
destroyer of the

358
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:21,250
[Applause]

359
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:21,250
[Music]

360
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,400
earth um it would have been a better

361
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:34,200
question the last one if you'd ask them

362
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,960
what their parties support on trient

363
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,960
because although everybody here said

364
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,799
they were personally themselves against

365
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,159
it several of the candidates are

366
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:46,360
standing for parties that are in favor

367
00:19:43,159 --> 00:19:49,000
of the renewal of Tri on the issue of

368
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:51,400
the oppression of gay people I stand

369
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,679
against it you don't have to take my

370
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:59,039
award for it you can look at my record

371
00:19:54,679 --> 00:20:02,480
in Parliament over nearly 30 years I

372
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:05,799
absolutely uh oppose and find abhorent

373
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,480
the reports that are emerging from Chia

374
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:12,039
I'm against discrimination against

375
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:15,679
anyone on the basis uh of who or what

376
00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:18,640
they are and I will maintain uh three

377
00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:21,830
decades of opposition to Prejudice and

378
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:27,040
patry if I be elected to Parliament

379
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:27,040
[Applause]

380
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,360
so it's unfortunate that you yourself

381
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,600
raised the fact that you were the

382
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:39,600
chairman of children's

383
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,919
services because when you became the

384
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,440
chair of children's services in

385
00:20:41,919 --> 00:20:48,480
Manchester ofed reported that child

386
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:52,120
protection was merely

387
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:55,360
adequate During the period that you were

388
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:57,640
the chair of children's services often

389
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:59,480
reported that your services were

390
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,320
inadequate

391
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:06,679
from adequate to

392
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:10,039
inadequate inadequate in Contex and

393
00:21:06,679 --> 00:21:11,799
quoting from off inadequate what do you

394
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:15,720

395
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:19,360
not true on camera yes offet I have the

396
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:23,039
paper off found your department under

397
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:26,240
your leadership to be providing an

398
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:29,360
inadequate level of child protection

399
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,360
that is that is the

400
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,000
fact

401
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:36,720

402
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,400
Manchester imagine

43% of the children in Manchester Gorton

00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:47,960
living in child poverty imagine in the

405
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:51,159
Second City of the fifth richest country

412
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,880
direct democracy uh around the corner

413
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:21,000
and I'd like to thank the leum Community

414
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,880
Association for Organizing this terrific

415
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,440
event it's remarkable that so many

416
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,120
people have stayed so long to discuss

417
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,799
politics and Jackie I have to again say

418
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:35,880
there's no point in standing up and

419
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:38,760
making a radical rallying call because

420
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:43,000
you will forever be remembered as the

421
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,640
people that put David Cameron in

422
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,520
power

423
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:51,360
point belly aching about

424
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,880
brexit because David Cameron would never

425
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,799
have been the prime minister of Brit it

426
00:22:53,880 --> 00:23:01,559
haven't been for you that's the reality

427
00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:05,120
there's two kinds of labor on offer in

428
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:09,000
this election from Mr Khan and from

429
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:12,320
