00:00I will be honest with you, there is a budget coming in October and it's going to be painful.
00:09We have no other choice given the situation that we're in. Those with the broadest shoulders
00:15should bear the heavier burden and that's why we're cracking down on non-doms. Those
00:22who made the mess should have to do their bit to clean it up and that's why we're strengthening
00:28the powers of the water regulator and backing tough fines on the water companies that have
00:34let sewage flood our rivers, lakes and seas. But just as when I responded to the riots,
00:44I'll have to turn to the country and make big asks of you as well. To accept short-term
00:52pain for long-term good, the difficult trade-off for the genuine solution.
