00:00We don't want to see anything that impacts people's energy prices, and I have been very consistent that our Prime
00:06Minister needs to have a plan.
00:08We have a cheap power plan that reduces people's energy bills by 20 percent.
00:12It scraps Ed Miliband's crazy taxes, which are on all of our bills, many people don't realize.
00:17It also reduces bills for businesses.
00:19We need to drill our own oil in the North Sea.
00:22It is completely crazy.
00:23The Labour have stopped drilling in the North Sea, and we need to stop the rise in fuel duty, which
00:29is coming.
00:30We froze fuel duty for 14 years.
00:32In fact, in some years we even cut it.
00:34Labour wants to increase it.
00:35This is mad.
00:36We need to start thinking about how to make people's lives better.
00:39But when it comes to my stance, I've been very consistent.
00:41If people are firing on British bases, we need to make sure that we can protect those bases.
00:46That's what I asked the Prime Minister to do.
00:48I also asked him to let the U.S. use our air bases.
00:51The Prime Minister initially said no, and then he said yes.
00:54So he's come around to my position.
