00:00Let me turn now to the impact at home, because I know that this is causing huge concern.
00:07People turn on their television, they look at their screens, they say explosions, infrastructure blown up, aggressive rhetoric.
00:16They worry that the UK will be dragged into this.
00:21We won't.
00:24But I also know that people have a deep sense that this will affect their family and their household.
00:32They can see it at the petrol pumps and they worry about their energy bills.
00:37It is the job of government to meet these moments, not just with immediate action, but also with clarity about
00:46our direction.
00:48That's all I remember about the 1970s, when my family could not pay every bill.
00:53We struggled through the energy shocks and the price rises of that decade.
00:59But we always believed in the end that Britain would secure a better future for us.
01:06And I think that's what's been lacking in the crises of recent years.
