00:00First of all, we've called this group Prosper UK because that's exactly what we want.
00:05We want the UK to prosper, we want individuals to be better off, the economy to grow.
00:10Businesses to thrive and for this to be a country where people can see a bright future.
00:15For them and their families.
00:18But prosperity is not just about...
00:20It's also about energy and opportunity.
00:23It's about feeling...
00:25That Britain is on the up and that every part of the country can share in that advancement.
00:30We know that simply being richer doesn't solve...
00:35But better jobs, faster growth, more money in the pockets of...
00:40For our countrymen and women does increase opportunity.
00:43It eases decision making.
00:45It widens horizons and it increases ambition.
00:49So as we grow...
00:50And we go out into the country speaking to people and businesses, harnessing their energy, listening to...
00:55Their challenges, developing policies that help make a practical and pragmatic difference.
01:00We will look at both sides of the balance sheet.
01:04Growth...
01:05Job creation, starting and growing a business, trade and finance, yes, 100%.
01:10Yes, but we will also discuss the investment that makes a...
01:15Greater quality of life, good housing, safe communities, vibrant high streets...
01:20And transport links that are fit for purpose, because these help people prosper.
01:25To all of the time, we'll be sticking to our values.
01:30A belief in individual liberty tempered by social responsibility.
01:35And strong borders, the rule of law, sound public finances and a tax...
01:40And welfare system that always, always, always, always, always...
01:45And incentivises work.
01:47And we're clear, as Andy said, we want...
01:50To be the next Prime Minister, but we need her to go into the next election...
01:55Armed with a broad policy offering, which will shape the national debate and move this country forward.
02:00And for people listening at home, we need your help.
02:05With your ideas and your energy, we are aiming to sign up thousands of supporters over the coming weeks and months...
02:10And you can join on the Prosper UK website.
02:13Our first live event...
02:15will be in Edinburgh in a few weeks' time.
02:17So please do sign up and...
02:20and get involved.
02:21Now, Andy and I have practised the overwhelming majority of our politics...
02:25far from Westminster.
02:26We know that good ideas are not...
02:30restricted to geography.
02:31When, once again, in the overnight news, we see...
02:35professional politicians seemingly more eager to fight with each other than fix this country's...
02:40problems.
02:41Isn't it time that you stepped forward?
02:43Because politics...
02:45is simply too important to be left to the politicians.
02:48It's simply too important to be left to the politicians.
