00:00Today, it falls to this Labour party, to this Labour government, to rebuild Britain once again.
00:08And while this is the first Budget in more than 14 years to be delivered by a Labour
00:16Chancellor, it is the first Budget in our country's history to be delivered by a woman.
00:27I am deeply proud to be Britain's first ever female Chancellor of the Exchequer.
00:35To girls and young women everywhere, I say, let there be no ceiling on your ambition,
00:43your hopes and your dreams.
00:48And along with the pride that I feel standing here today, there is also a responsibility
