My vision of hope and the<br />

next Labour Government<br />

I have a serious plan for troubled times – a plan which has<br />

its focus on winning the next general election in order to<br />

rebuild and transform Britain.<br />

At the heart of my strategy for a Labour Government is<br />

a plan to grow our movement by organising communities<br />

and using the most advanced techniques online and<br />

offline. We must make Labour a living, breathing<br />

movement in every corner of our country that gains the<br />

trust of the British people and gives them real hope of a<br />

better future.<br />

Our overriding task is winning the next general election,<br />

so that we can begin putting our progressive polices into<br />

action. The growth in our party’s membership has been<br />

incredible. Labour is now the largest political party in<br />

Europe. Our greatest asset is our members, who will carry<br />

our message across the country. I will make sure that our<br />

membership is engaged and campaigning on the ground<br />

to spread the message that no one, and nowhere, will ever<br />

be left behind under a Labour Government.<br />

The next Labour Government will make Britain thrive<br />

again and give it a chance to build strong foundations. I<br />

want to create a million homes and a million jobs across<br />

the UK to help guarantee a decent standard of living for all.<br />

Leader of Her Majesty’s<br />

Official Opposition and Leader<br />

of the Labour Party<br />

Labour will build a Britain that works for everyday<br />

people, rewarding their hard work and saving the NHS<br />

that they rely on. The Labour Party created the NHS and<br />

we are so proud of it; we will give our all into restoring<br />

the damage that the Tory party has done to it. We will<br />

end health service privatisation and bring services into a<br />

secure, publicly-provided NHS – as it should be. We will<br />

integrate the NHS and social care for older and disabled<br />

people, funding dignity across the board and finally giving<br />

our mental health services the time and money it so<br />

desperately needs.<br />

The next general election will be a contest between<br />

the Tory Party austerity machine and its powerful allies,<br />

and the social movement and trade unions underpinning<br />

our reinvigorated Labour Party. That means every member<br />

campaigning for every vote, using the skills and experience<br />

of our membership to deliver our strong Labour message:<br />

Britain needs a Labour Government focussed on delivering<br />

for the whole country.<br />

Working together, we can rebuild Britain as a country<br />

where everyone plays a part, and everyone has a say. That<br />

is both the country we need to be and the only way we<br />

can succeed.
