00:00 So Rachel Reeves, our Shadow Chancellor, will set out today in her May's lecture how we have an
00:05 opportunity in this election year for a decade of national renewal. We have the opportunity to turn
00:10 the page on 14 years of failure from the Conservatives and to get the economy back on
00:15 track and she will set out how a Labour government, if we are elected this year, will do just that.
00:19 Well the speech that Rachel will give today may be in the City of London but it's actually to
00:23 the country as a whole. She will talk about how a Labour government, if we are elected this year,
00:28 will focus on stability, investment and reform, political and economic stability, unlocking
00:34 investment for the country and doing the changes that we need to get that right so that people feel
00:38 better off and that businesses are able to grow and invest. That will ultimately improve people's
00:43 quality of lives and that's why the speech is relevant to them.
