00:00Thank you to the good people of Fairham and Waterlooville. You've placed your
00:07trust in me as your voice in Parliament for the fourth time now. The people of
00:15Fairham and Waterlooville are the best of Britain. Patriotic, common-sense, kindly,
00:25dedicated, enterprising, and I'm humbled to continue as your servant in
00:32Parliament. I will endeavour to work for you, to speak for you, and to deliver for
00:40you time and time again. Now finally, I want to briefly address the result in
00:50the rest of the country, and there is only one thing that I can say. Sorry. I'm
01:00sorry. I'm sorry that my party didn't listen to you. The Conservative Party has
01:12let you down. You, the great British people, voted for us over 14 years, and we
01:22did not keep our promises. We've acted as if we're entitled to your vote,
01:31regardless of what we did, regardless of what we didn't do, despite promising time
01:38after time that we would do those things. And we need to learn our lesson,
01:45because if we don't, bad as tonight has been for my party, we'll have many worse
01:54nights to come.
