We've always been about providing opportunity.
We've always been about making sure that hard work
actually gets rewarded and people can create a better life through their own hard work.
So you look at our track record on that, because what works in 2035 isn't going to be the same as what worked in 1935 when the first Labour government was elected.
It's going to be different, but the values are still the same.
So those values of caring, the values of empathy and kindness, they still really matter.
