00:00I say we have a cheap power plan which would cut electricity bills by 20% for everybody and it
00:05wouldn't cost taxpayers a penny. We're going to hear more from Rachel Reeves later. It looks like
00:10she wants to set out a subsidy package but before we go back to taxpayers who are being taxed up
00:16to
00:16the hilt at the moment we think we should be taking out those costs, taking out some of those
00:20green taxes and levies before we go to the taxpayer. We'd also be cancelling the fuel duty hike which
00:27is coming in September and we would be drilling more in the North Sea. That's what we're forcing
00:31a vote on today because we should be maximising all of our tax revenue, saving the taxpayer and
00:36cutting costs where we can to help families.
