00:00 I think it says a lot that serious business people like Richard Walker, who has been himself
00:06 a long-standing Conservative Party member and supporter, now says the Conservative Party
00:11 is not the party of business and is looking to the alternative.
00:15 And my message to you Richard Walker, other business people and indeed millions of mainstream
00:21 Conservative voters who feel let down by their government, the door is open to you to come
00:26 on board with Labour.
00:27 We want to work with business, we want to build our base of support to give Britain
00:31 its future back and I'm asking people at the next general election to give change a chance.
00:36 If we don't do what we say, people can boot us out after one term.
00:39 But my goodness the country is crying out for change, they're not going to get it with
00:42 the Conservatives and I say to mainstream Conservative supporters like Richard Walker,
00:47 you have a home in Labour.
