00:00The results are tough. They are very tough. And there is no sugarcoating this.
00:06We have lost brilliant Labour representatives across the country.
00:12These are people who put so much into their communities, so much into our party and our movement.
00:21And that hurts. And it should hurt.
00:26And I take responsibility.
00:30When voters send a message like this, we must reflect and we must respond.
00:39I think the vast majority of people do understand that we face huge challenges as a country.
00:45We've had a series of economic shocks in recent years.
00:49And there's a very difficult international situation that we face.
00:53They know that.
00:55But they still want their lives to improve.
00:58They still want to see the change that we promised.
01:02They know the status quo is letting them down and they're frustrated.
01:06They don't feel the change.
01:09I understand that.
01:11I get that.
01:13I was elected to deal with these challenges.
01:17We made some big calls.
01:20Big calls.
01:21We made some big calls.
01:21To stabilise our public finances.
01:24To invest in our public services.
01:27not to get dragged into a war in Iran
01:32but we also made unnecessary mistakes
01:37one of which was that
01:39although we were right to level with the public
01:42about the scale and depth of the challenges we faced
01:45we didn't do enough to convince them
01:48that things will get better
01:49that things will improve
01:52the hope
01:55and that is why in coming days
01:56I'm going to set out the steps that we will take
01:59to deliver the change that they want
02:02and that they deserve
02:04so that every child can go as far as their talent or ability will take them
02:08not held back by poverty
02:11so that every community can have what it needs
02:16a secure safe place
02:18for everybody to live
02:21households and families not feeling constantly held back
02:24by a cost of living crisis
02:26and a Britain where everybody
02:28can feel proud of the place where they live
02:32and they work
02:35so these are tough results
02:37but tough days like this
02:40they don't weaken my resolve
02:42to deliver the change that I promised
02:45at the general election
02:47they strengthen my resolve
02:49to do so
