00:00 As Shadow Chancellor, one of the great privileges of this role has been to travel all around
00:04 the country and meet entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders all across the UK.
00:12 In the most challenging of economic times, they give me immense optimism.
00:18 Today I want to put forward a simple proposition.
00:23 That this changed Labour Party is today the natural party of British business.
00:29 The reason that we have been harder hit than many comparable countries by the economic
00:34 impact of Covid and then by inflation and rising energy prices can only be explained
00:41 by the choices made by Conservative governments here at home.
00:45 And because while the Prime Minister wants this election to be about whether inflation
00:50 is coming down this month, he omits to mention when it started to rise, on his watch as Chancellor.
