00:00 We need to ensure that every family has a safe, decent, warm home.
00:05 We need to ensure that many more young people can have a home of their own.
00:09 And we're on track to deliver a million new homes in this Parliament.
00:15 But we need many more.
00:16 And our long-term plan for housing will deliver the attractive, affordable new homes that
00:22 we need.
00:23 And Conservatives in government have never been more necessary than now.
00:26 Because only we can deliver the long-term changes that this country needs.
00:32 Only the Conservatives have the determination to stay the course and to bring inflation
00:36 down.
00:37 Only the Conservatives have the resolution to resist easy answers, avoid empty pledges,
00:43 and make the right decisions for the long term.
00:46 Whether it's resisting inflation-busting pay demands in the public sector.
00:50 Or tackling the eco-loonies who stop hard-working families getting to work.
00:53 Or facing down the faint-hearts who say that we shouldn't try to control our borders.
00:57 Or taking on the enemies of promise in education.
01:01 Sakir Starmer is the jellyfish of British politics.
01:12 He's transparent, spineless, and swept along by the tide.
01:17 Under Sakir, Labour is the party of equivocation, procrastination, prevarication.
01:21 And it is never prepared to stand up for our nation.
01:25 It is the party of high unemployment, higher taxes, and always the highest debt and deficits.
01:31 It's the party of low ambition, lower standards in our schools, and always the line of least
01:36 resistance in the face of left-wing pressure groups at home and threats abroad.
01:42 We have a message from this hall for Labour and Sakir.
01:45 We will fight, fight, and fight again for the country we love.
