00:00There is no greater honour than to serve you.
00:04Throughout my life, I have faced challenges, but I've also seen the power that comes from our community.
00:12The people on Bridgehall Estate who have always known me as our Ange,
00:16the teachers who have had faith in me, the carers who I worked alongside,
00:21and the trade unionists I stood alongside.
00:24From all of them, I learned that by working together and never taking no for an answer,
00:31we can make change and make a difference.
00:35As they helped me when I needed it, I am now humbled to have the opportunity to make the difference for others.
00:43Because to represent this constituency is a privilege, but it is also a duty,
00:51one that I intend to fulfil.
00:54It is a vote for change.
00:57It is a vote to an end to division and to bring our country together.
01:03To replace self-service with public service.
01:07To take what is broken and begin to rebuild it.
01:12And to restore the belief to those who have had hope taken away.
01:19It is with a real sense of pride that together we have changed the Labour Party to offer that unity of purpose.
01:27That vision of renewal that our country so desperately needs.
01:33Today is our chance to turn the page and start a new chapter.
01:40To tackle the cost of living crisis and to make work pay.
01:45To give working people the new deal we deserve.
01:50And to provide homes that we need.
01:53To rebuild the public services on which we rely.
01:57And to ensure that every community across our country shares in our national success.
02:04I am proud of Ashton-under-Lyne.
02:07I am proud of Britain.
02:09A great country.
02:11A great people.
02:13And I am proud to serve you all.
02:15Thank you.
