00:00The fact is, £5 billion just doesn't cut it, with a bill so big going up so fast.
00:06She needed to be tougher. She should be saying, no more hard-working taxpayers funding the
00:12family next door not to work, no more free top-of-the-range cars for people who don't
00:16need them, no more sick fluencers helping people to claim money they don't need.
00:21And now, before the right hon. Lady puts on her angry voice and leans across the Dispatch
00:25Box to shout at me about 14 years, can I gently say to her that everybody in this Chamber
00:32and around the country knows that we lost and they won, and now her job is to govern,
00:39and it is my job to hold her to account. Our country needs everybody who can work, to work.
