00:00Thank you, Paul, and it's an absolute love to be here in Peterborough with Paul.
00:05We campaigned together many times. I've known this man well over 15 years.
00:09I knew he could do it, and you have done it.
00:16I know that the results across the country are pretty mixed.
00:19We've seen lots of disappointing results.
00:21What I saw everywhere I campaigned was that people are fed up with the Labour government.
00:26They were angry about winter fuel payments. They were angry about the jobs tax.
00:31But they are still not yet ready to trust us.
00:34We have a big job to do to rebuild trust with the public.
00:38That's the job that the Conservative Party has given me,
00:40and I'm going to make sure that we get ourselves back to the place
00:44where we are seen as the credible alternative to Labour.
00:47All across our country, we are seeing that our economy is not growing.
00:57Growth has halved. We are seeing taxes rising. Unemployment is rising.
01:02We need to make sure that Keir Starmer is a one-term Prime Minister.
01:06And the election results that we are seeing show that he is on course to be a one-term Prime Minister.
01:12But we can't take things for granted. Protest parties are doing well today.
01:17I know that. It is disappointing.
01:19And I have a message for all of those Conservative councillors who lost their seats.
01:23How sincerely sorry I am for your loss, because I know how hard you worked.
01:28But we are going to win those seats back.
01:30That is my job now.
01:31We are going to make sure that your hard work was not in vain.
01:35Conservative councils did deliver better services for lower taxes across the board.
01:39Other parties may be winning now, but we are going to show, as with Paul here in Cambridgeshire,
01:45that we can deliver and that we are on course and recovering.
