00:00Everyone can see the position Britain is in. Everyone knows things are not working as they
00:06should. Everyone is talking about how life is too expensive. Everyone wants less drift
00:13and more direction. Today I answer that call. Hope, hope comes from honesty. And we will
00:25have hope again. But first, honesty. It comes from saying the things politicians usually
00:35avoid. I will say it straight. Britain has been on the wrong path for a long time.
00:59Deindustrialisation. Deregulation. Privatisation. Austerity. Brexit. And what has it given
01:05us? A country run for vested interest, not in the public interest. With power held in
01:12too few hands. And too many places left to drift. I am ready to do things my predecessors
01:19wouldn't. I will make a break with the direction of the past 40 years and put Britain on a new
01:27path.
