00:00Today I'm sounding the alarm and I'm laying out a plan because last week while a wildfire the size
00:07of 200 football pitches was raging across Suffolk I called on Prime Minister Burnham to act urgently
00:15to address the crisis. I suggested a Cobra meeting being the very least he could do and six days
00:23later with another heat alert just having ended we have still heard next to nothing from the very
00:29top of government. No emergency briefings no new plan and precious little detail about how this
00:38government will protect people from the crisis. It is putting lives and livelihoods at risk across
00:44the entire UK. So today I'm delivering a reality check. We are facing the biggest threat to this
00:54country since the Second World War. I'm setting out what Prime Minister Burnham can do now to tackle
01:01the crisis and I am challenging him to act with the urgency we need.
01:06Thank you very much.
