And only Labour has the plan to make Brexit work for ordinary people. We're clear there is now a choice - a Labour Brexit that puts jobs first, or a Tory Brexit that will be geared towards the interests of the City of London and risk making Britain a low-wage tax haven."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of Britain's opposition Labour party:

9. Wide of people applauding
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of Britain's opposition Labour party:
"A government that invests for all. A government with a vision to ensure that the brilliance and imagination of every child can be fulfilled during their lifetime. Our proposal is a government for the many, not the few. Our proposals are of hope for the many all over this country, and I am very proud to present this manifesto for the many, not the few. Thank you very much!"

"The free movement that currently exists within the European Union, obviously by the time we leave the European Union, that free movement doesn't continue. We will negotiate a trade agreement with the European Union that will ensure tariff-free access to the European Union, and future migration will be based on a fair migration policy, fairness towards our economy and our needs of people, and an end to the undercutting and exploitation that goes with it."
