We cannot build a new economy here without addressing one of the root causes of the old one's failure.

The answer is devolution: real devolution, not the begging-bowl culture of the past, where regional politicians came to Whitehall with their caps in hand, asking permission to run their own bus routes.
But we will not defeat him with caution. This is a time for boldness—a time for courage.
This week Andy Burnham put forward a vision of good growth in every British postcode and hope in every heart.
We must show we understand the scale of change the moment calls for – that means bringing our best players into parliament.
Let's look at how we can help and assist in that area before we turn around and say to young people, you need to be paid less.
If you challenge me - where did it all go wrong - I think it's where we've deviated away from our promises to the electorate.
I don't accept that the way to give young people a future is to give them insecure work that isn't paid.
We shouldn't take retrospective action on carers that we asked to come to this country to work.
I don't think it's too late for the Labour Party to deliver that, and that's a different question.
I don't want a representative who thinks it's okay to make sexist, misogynistic jokes and then double down on them.
If we have more of that, it is not going to help rebuild our country, it's going to damage our country.
Winning back trust will not happen through slogans, briefings or endless debate about personalities. It will happen when people see secure jobs, affordable homes, shorter NHS waiting lists and safer streets.
Too many people feel politics is happening to them rather than for them, while too many communities still believe Westminster has failed to understand the pressures they face every day.
A choice between Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage’s sexist puppet. It is a fight that we must win.
Let me start with the argument that better wages and conditions for young people are why there are not enough jobs for them, and that we must retreat. Today, I want to take that argument on. Head on.
We shouldn't rip up the rules halfway through – taking retrospective action on people who are taxpayers, who are making a contribution, who are part of our society looking after our most vulnerable.
We need a fair pay agreement for care workers as soon as possible, to raise wages and conditions across the board.
