00:00 I've just come back in from calling the general election and I wanted to explain to you why.
00:05 Our economy is now growing faster than France, Germany and the United States.
00:09 And this morning we received the welcome news that inflation has returned to normal.
00:14 This is a sign that our plan and our priorities are working.
00:18 Now I know it hasn't always been easy and I know you're only just starting to feel the
00:23 benefits.
00:24 But this hard-won economic stability was only ever meant to be the beginning.
00:28 And that's why I've called the election.
00:31 So that we can decide whether we want to build on the progress that we've made or risk going
00:35 back to square one with no plan and no certainty.
00:39 Now I believe that our plan and the bold actions that we're prepared to take will deliver a
00:44 secure future for you, your family and our United Kingdom.
