Prime Minister and Labour Leader, Gordon Brown’s speech at the 2009 Labour Party Annual Conference:
And so today, in the midst of events that are transforming our world, we meet united and determined to fight for the future.
Our country confronts the biggest choice for a generation. It’s a choice between two parties, yes. But more importantly a choice between two directions for our country.
In the last eighteen months we have had to confront the biggest economic choices the world has faced since the 1930s.
It was only a year ago that the world was looking over a precipice and Britain was in danger. I knew that unless I acted decisively and immediately, the recession could descend into a great depression with millions of people’s jobs and homes and savings at risk.
And times of great challenge mean choices of great consequence, so let me share with you a little about the choices we are making.
