Community. So we will introduce you foundation apprenticeships, we balance funding in our Training System are back to young people, align that with what businesses really need. The first step to a Youth Guarantee that well eradicate Inactivity And Unemployment for young people once and for all that will eradicate. Applause but, conference, whatever anyone thinks about immigration, i will never accept the argument made not just by the usual suspects, but by people who should have known better, who said that millions of people concerned about immigration are one and the same thing. As the people who smashed up businesses and who targeted mosques, attempted to burn refugees, but racist graffiti on walls, nazi salutes at the cenotaph, Attacked Nhs Nurses and told people with different coloured skin, people who contribute here, people who grew up here, that they should go home. No. Applause no, conference. No, conference. People concerned about immigration would not be doing that because they understand that this country, this democratic country, this democratic country, is built on the rule of law, the common understanding that we debate our differences but we do not settle them with violent thuggery and racism, that is vile. Applause thank you. And, conference, so to those Who Equivocate about this, i simply say, the country sees you. And it rejects you. And to those who say that the only way to love your country is to take your neighbour because they look different, i say, not only do we reject you, we know that you will never win because the british values that we stand for, notjust the rule of law, but a love this country and our neighbours, the respect for difference under the same fly, that is stronger than bricks, and you know it, it is what you cannot stand about our country, our reasonable tolerant country, but it is absolutely who we are. Cheering and applause no, conference. The debate is not about the worth of migrants. That is toxic. We must move beyond it. It is about control of migration. It has always been about control. That is what people have voted for time and again. They were notjust ignored after brexit. The tories gave them the exact opposite. An Immigration System deliberately reformed to reduce control. Because in the end, they are the party of the uncontrolled market. Do not get me wrong, markets are dynamic, competition is a vital Life Force in our economy, and this is a Labour Party proud to say that. We work hand in hand with business. But markets do not give you control. That is almost literally their point. So if you want a country with more control. If you want the great forces that affect your community to be better managed, whether that is migration, climate change, Law And Order or security, then that doesnt mean a more decisive government. That is a labour government, taking Back Control is a labour argument. Applause it is why i say we are rebalancing our country to serve working people. Because this is a question of balance. We cannot afford any more polluted rivers or any more Covid Contracts or any more grenfell towers, we have to become serious and Mission Lead and put Respect And Service deepin and put Respect And Service deep in the bones of our institutions. That is not a debate. That investment or reform, it has always been both. But again, i have to warn you, working people do want a more decisive government. They do want us to rebuild our public services and they do want that to lead to more control in their lives. But their pockets are not deep. Not at all. So we have to be a great reforming government. Our Nhs Reforms so patients have more control over their health, our energy system reform, so a country has more control over its security, Police And Justice reform so communities have more control of their streets, Education Reform so children have more control of their future, children have more control of theirfuture, and our economy their future, and our economy reform, theirfuture, and our economy reform, with the unique force thatis reform, with the unique force that is economic growth, giving every community the Breathing Space and the Calm And Control to focus on the little things they love in life. Not the anxiety of insecurity we have now. Because we do need joy. We do need that in our lives. And one place that has always done that for me, and i told you about it last year, it is the Lake District. A place that my mother loved, notjust because of what it meant to her, her determination to show that she could walk in a place like that, but because of the beauty everywhere. And last year i took my family to the old cottage where we used to stay as children in the Lake District, we walked up to the cottage and stood outside, you must have looked a bit strange, and the couple who live there now came out, and they were lovely. When we told them why we were there, they said, come inside, go upstairs, take a walk down memory lane. So we did. Came back outside, and we were chatting, and then the woman stopped suddenly, and said, someone is nicking your car. I said, said, someone is nicking your car. Isaid, no, that is said, someone is nicking your car. I said, no, that is the police moving the car. That really confused her. Anyway, at this point, her husband comes in and he says, you havent clocked, have you . Hes the leader of the opposition, politician. She stopped and smiled, and laughed, and said politely, if i had known you were a politician, i would have pushed you down the stairs when i had the chance. The beauty of the Lake District and the heart of the british people in a nutshell. Applause but seriously, when you are walking around in a place like that, when you can see the grass there every bit as green as it was iii years ago, it is a reminder and as it was iii years ago, it is a reminderand an as it was iii years ago, it is a reminder and an inspiration that, yes, things change, and some things need to change, but some things need to change, but some things need to change, but some things do not. And the Joy And Wonder of our nation and the spirit of its people, the small business owners, teachers, teaching assistants, the people who came out and cleaned the streets, the brickies who rebuilt the wall in southport, the backbone of this country, they are just as resilient as they were iii years ago, and no matter what people say on social media, their values are the same, so we will turn our collar up and faced a storm and we will rise above the challenges we have inherited. Because this is a country with fairness in the water, that believes injustice and that wants working people to be respected. Applause and also, for there to be opportunities for your children, because one of the other things that gave me great jy other things that gave me great joy as a kid as well as the football, obviously, was the flute. I dont think you were expecting that. Seriously, the flute gave me so many opportunities. My first ever trip abroad was to malta with the croydon youth for mnemonic orchestra. For mnemonic philharmonic orchestra. People will know about the feeling of being drawn in by music and getting lost in something bigger than yourself, or being moved by a book, painting, play, even now, i turn to beethoven or brahms in the moments when the reviews are not so good, how to put it, and i have Got Shostakovich lined up i have Got Shostakovich lined up for tomorrow. But these early encounters with art and culture, they change us for ever, and we are brilliant at them in this country. Brilliant. But those opportunities do not go to every child, do they . My brother who had difficulties learning, he did not get those opportunities. Every time i achieve something in my life, my dad used to say to me, your brother has achieved just as much as you. And he was right. I still believe that. But this is what we do in this country, isnt it . We elevate the stories of the individuals who go to the Guildhall School of music, the prime ministerfrom A Pebble semi, the Working Class Few who break through the ceiling, and i do not blame people for that, because it gives hope to people and it is important to tell those stories. But it is not everyone. Is it . And we must remember everyone, conference. Because everyone deserves the chance to be touched by art, everyone deserves access to moments that light up their lives, and every child deserves the chance to study the creative subjects that widen their horizons and provide skills employers value, and prepares them for the future. The jobs and the world that they will inherit. Applause but more than that, every child, every person, deserves to be respected for the contribution they make. My sister was a. This guy has obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference. We have changed the party. Cheering and we have been changing the party that is why we have got a labour government. The point is that every person deserves to be respected for the contribution they have made. My sister was a Care Worker in the pandemic. She is still a Care Worker. Work that, surely, by now, we know it so important for the future of this country, so wouldnt it be great. So, Conference Wouldnt it be great if this
