What Bevan and Attlee did in the aftermath of war was an act of courage as well as conviction
0:07
Facing down their opponents in the Conservative establishment, they made a powerful choice founded on fairness
0:14
To create a national health service, to provide the people of our country with the care they need, not just the care they can afford
0:23
a promise that whoever you are, whatever your background, whatever your income
0:30
when you fall ill, you will never have to worry about the bill
0:34
I'm here today to defend that promise. And friends, we are in the fight of our lives
0:40
not just for the NHS or even for the survival of this government
0:45
but for everything we believe in. It is a battle of progressives against reactionaries
0:51
patriotism versus nationalism, hope not hate. Our country is being confronted with choices about who we are and what we stand for And nowhere do those choices come together more starkly than our National Health Service
1:10
The founding principles of the NHS are now contested for the first time in generations
1:18
Farage wants to replace the NHS with an insurance system. His vision for healthcare is a system that checks your pockets before your pulse
1:28
and ask for your credit card before your care. Well, it might be all right for Mr Moneybags
1:34
We know he can afford it. But what about those who can't
1:39
We should know by now that man is a con artist, posing as the voice of the people
1:46
whilst working for the interests of the powerful. And be in no doubt it not reform he offering it retreat He says we can afford in this century the National Health Service we could afford in the last Well if that the fight Faraj wants I say bring it on
2:27
So today I'm not here simply to defend a service, but to uphold our values
2:34
a publicly funded public service free at the point of use, back on its feet and fit for the future
2:42
Those are Labour's values, those are Britain's values, and this is a fight we will win
3:04
But friends, we must win another fight too. One against the poison of post politics At reforms conference a discredited doctor claimed that the Covid vaccine gave our royal family cancer And this man wasn just some fringe figure he
3:29
reforms health advisor. Now these anti-vax lies have consequences. They've led to the
3:39
return of diseases we thought we'd defeated. Measles, whooping cough, children dying from
3:46
preventable illness in this, the 21st century. When Farage was asked whether he'd side with
3:55
medical scientists, he said, I wouldn't side with anybody. Anti-science, anti-reason, anti-health
4:05
Nigel Farage is a snake oil salesman of British politics and it's time to stop buying what he's selling
