00:00So I have looked at the stamp duty thresholds to see where we can change them.
00:05I have looked at the rates you have to pay to see if we can lower them.
00:10I have decided that we can't.
00:14Because that simply wouldn't be enough.
00:16Conference, the next Conservative government will abolish stamp duty on your own.
00:22I have a plan to cut welfare spending.
00:25First, British benefits for British citizens.
00:30It is common sense that you should not draw out of a system that you haven't paid into.
00:35Second, we will restrict benefits to those with the more severe mental health conditions.
00:40Not anxiety or mild depression.
00:42And third, we will restrict motability vehicles to people with serious disabilities.
00:48Those cars are not for people with ADHD.
00:50Since Brexit and COVID, the size of the civil service has swollen by over a third.
00:57So we are going to reverse this.
01:00We are going to cut the civil service back to where it was in 2016.
01:11Every single officer we free from pointless paperwork we will put back on our streets.
01:16We will send them after the shoplifters, making life a misery for high streets.
01:21And we will triple stop and search.
01:23Because the more people we stop, the more people we search, the more knives we take off the streets.
01:28In the NHS, industrial action has kept waiting lists high for far too long.
01:34Enough is enough.
01:36We will ban doctors from going on strike.
01:38Labour have bent over to the teaching unions and are removing our academy freedoms, which have been so successful.
01:46We will reverse this act of educational vandalism.
01:49I am introducing a new golden economic rule.
02:00Every pound we save will be put to work.
02:04At least half will go towards cutting the deficit, because living within our means is our first priority.
02:11With the rest, we are going to unleash our economy.
02:15And so, on Monday, you heard Mel make our commitment to abolish their business rates.
02:21We are de-industrializing.
02:23It's not just manufacturing that is disappearing.
02:26Not just steel.
02:28Not just chemicals.
02:29Not just ceramics.
02:30Not just oil and gas.
02:32We are losing our farming industry.
02:34We are losing our fishing industry.
02:36These are the foundations of a strong economy, and they are going, all because we chose a slogan of net zero over a serious strategy for a stronger economy and a better environment.
02:48So, I am saying enough.
02:50I am reversing this.
02:51So, we will axe the carbon tax on electricity.
02:54We will scrap Labour's wind and solar levy.
02:57And instead, we will give you our cheap power plan.
03:00So, when it comes to the North Sea, we have a very simple policy.
