00:00In fact, under this Labour government, welfare spending is forecast to increase again in the autumn budget.
00:08Yesterday, Andy Burnham says he wants to work cross-party.
00:11Well, if he really wants to do that, he should look at my plan to fund defence.
00:16I would be very happy to share it with him.
00:19That would be working together in the national interest.
00:23But he won't, because the Labour Party is addicted to welfare.
00:27Whether it is Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves or Andy Burnham, the instinct is always the same.
00:32Spend more, tax more, borrow more.
00:35Conservatives believe in something different.
00:38We believe in fiscal responsibility.
00:41We believe in improving living standards.
00:44And we believe in simplifying and removing taxes that distort the economy and kill growth.
