00:00 It's great to be here for the launch of the bus, Angela's bus.
00:04 And doesn't it look fantastic?
00:06 All week she's been showing me photographs of her bus
00:10 and now I've come to see this fantastic bus.
00:13 And it's rather like Tory defectors.
00:16 You wait for ages and then three come along in a row.
00:19 But this one, Ange, I'm reliably told has got a fridge in the back of it.
00:25 So check that Boris Johnson isn't in there.
00:27 He used to be around these parts.
00:29 But what Ange is going to do with this bus is take our message
00:34 to every single doorstep across the country.
00:37 5,000 miles, one simple message.
00:41 This election is about a choice.
00:45 A choice before the country, a clear choice.
00:48 More chaos and division with the Tories after 14 years of failure.
00:55 More of the same or change, hope, turn the page and rebuild with Labour.
01:02 That is the choice.
