00:00Well we'll set out our plans for welfare reform, but it is absolutely clear that the current
00:04system is not working for anyone. It's not working for people who need support, it's
00:09not working to get people into work so that more people can fulfil their potential, and
00:14it's not working for the taxpayer when the bill for welfare is going up by billions of
00:18pounds in the next few years. So we do need to get a grip, we need to spend more on national
00:23defence, we need to reform our public services and we need to reform our broken welfare system.
