, Leader of the Labour
Party, commenting ahead of local election polls
opening on Thursday, said:
“Britain is, despite everything this Tory government has thrown
at it, a great country. Its people, businesses, and communities
continue to come together in the face of adversity. It is a
strong nation of pride and potential, with boundless ambition for
its family and its community.
“But it needs a government to match that ambition, and with a
plan to unlock it. Today, you have a chance to vote for that
change, and pass a verdict on fourteen years of decline. You can
start to rebuild our country and take your community in a
different direction.
“A vote for Labour is for a plan to tilt our economy back towards
the interests of working people and restore a sense of service to
our politics. A vote for Labour is a vote for getting Britain
building again to drive growth, to switch on GB Energy to lower
bills, take back our streets with 13,000 more neighbourhood
police and PCSOs, make our NHS fit for the future with 2m more
appointments, and to break down barriers to opportunity for every
child with mental health support and free breakfast clubs.
“That change starts today, and you can vote for it. You can vote
to stop the chaos, turn the page, and rebuild your country.
“So, head down to the polling station with your ID and choose a
decade of national renewal with Labour and together we can get
Britain's future back.”
