00:00 Well I know it's not usual for a Prime Minister to come back in this way, but I believe in
00:05 public service.
00:07 The Prime Minister asked me to do this job and it's a time where we have some daunting
00:11 challenges as a country.
00:13 The conflict in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine and of course I hope that six years
00:21 as Prime Minister, eleven years leading the Conservative Party gives me some useful experience
00:26 and contacts and relationships and knowledge that I can help the Prime Minister to make
00:31 sure we build our alliances, we build partnerships with our friends, we deter our enemies and
00:37 we keep our country strong.
00:39 That's why I'm doing the job and I'm delighted to accept.
