cleverly, the home secretary, he is the minister in charge of this legislation. he, and others, have been trying to convince members of the conservative party to back this legislation. wejust the conservative party to back this legislation. we just want to show you the bbc live page that we have. if you go to the bbc website, there we have features and analysis from our correspondence there. analysis there on that key moment for the labour leader. so there is a report of theirfrom hannah labour leader. so there is a report of their from hannah miller. labour leader. so there is a report of theirfrom hannah miller. this is our political correspondence and she is saying that after this breakfast, the prime minister had with potential rebels from his party, that they are yet to deliver their verdict. one of those invited to downing street was jonathan gallas. he said he has yet to make a decision on how he will vote and he wants to get more advice on legal technicalities. so now we can go to silverstone in this build—up to the speech from the leader of the labour party and we will show you this event now. to talk about their plans for potential government. it is very wide and varied. but the chamber, as the voice of our brilliant business community have been listening to what the labour party have planned and i can say that there are some things announced by the shadow business secretary that our members have been calling for. those are replacing the business rate system with a fairer one for all, speeding up with a fairer one for all, speeding up the planning system to help get investment flowing and businesses building. and legislating to tackle late payments. this holds businesses back. these are measures exactly what our members have been telling us they have been looking for and i look forward to hearing more about those from our special speaker. lastly, i want to thank our hosts today for this amazing facility. any region would be lucky to have a forward—thinking, fast—growing, clean technology bases on their patch and we are so proud to have them here in our area. patch and we are so proud to have them here in ourarea. on patch and we are so proud to have them here in our area. on behalf of them here in our area. on behalf of them and the chamber of commerce, please enjoy the rest of your morning. thank you. so, we arejust so, we are just waiting for the leader of the labour party to follow on from that speech. he is just now approaching. he is in the hall and another labour party member will be speaking. i was raised to believe in the importance of public service. i was also raised not to stay comfortable on the sidelines while others do all the hard work. that is why ijoined the hard work. that is why ijoined the army, to serve my country to the best of my ability. but during my service, incredibly even as i deployed to afghanistan, i saw the military around me being hollowed out under the conservatives's disastrous and self—defeating policies. i realised that if they were doing that to our defence, to our national security, that the short—sighted choices they were making were going to do considerable damage to our economy and our public services, to our schools and to our nhs. i had always followed labour as the party of, and four, working people. this is the only party that knows that yes, we are responsible for building our own lives, but that we do so on the firm foundations of a stable economy and good public services that educate, treat and protect us. however, in 2019, it had become clear to me that the labour party was not always keeping those principles as our guiding light. but i knew that it is not enough to criticise from the sidelines and that if you believe in something, you have to roll up your sleeves and get working yourself. that is what service means. certainly not what we have now. a tory party, tearing itself apart over some gimmick policy, wasting millions of pounds that won't even work. a party to busy gossiping about who will be leader this month, next, to focus on the one thing that they were elected to do, the governing of the country. in the meantime, when i am speaking to residents on the doorsteps in north—east derbyshire, they are telling me how will this failure is affecting them. in killer march, they have seen their last bus to sheffield shut. the wait for a gp is too long and in other places, they are worried about this month's basic bills this is not the country that i want. i know it is not what north—east derbyshire once and i know it is not what keir starmer wants. with him, labour has steered back to the guiding light of our party, that we exist to serve working people.— party, that we exist to serve workin: --eole. �* .,
