00:00I will always be honest with the public, it's my style. This week the three policies I've announced, ending rough
00:07sleeping, the bus cap we're announcing today and the removal of VAT off electricity bills are all fully funded and
00:18that's the way I will go and people will say well how? I've reprioritised the public's priority is reducing cost
00:26of living pressures and that's what I'm doing.
00:28I'm taking a difficult look at some of the things that the government was committed to, digital ID being one
00:35example and reprioritising and I think that's what people would expect me to do coming into this job.
00:40When you talk about council housing, it's about putting greater priority on council housing. The government had already allocated £39
00:49billion to housing over 10 years.
00:53My instruction on coming into this job is to spend a greater proportion of that funding on new council housing
01:00because that gives the biggest return on investment than anything else.
