00:00 Isn't the truth you're a headline grabber who does it by spreading poison even within your own party?
00:06 The truth is that when I served as Home Secretary I sought to be honest.
00:10 Honest to the British people, honest for the British people.
00:13 And sometimes honesty is uncomfortable.
00:16 But I'm not going to shy away from telling people how it is and from plain speaking.
00:23 And if that upsets polite society then I'm sorry about that.
00:26 The point is that we need to be honest. We need to be clear-eyed about the situation right now.
00:32 We can't keep failing the British people.
00:35 We have made promises after promise.
00:38 We have put forward plan after plan.
00:40 They have all failed and we have now run out of time.
00:44 This is an issue of huge importance to the majority of British people who desperately want us to fix it.
00:51 We need to be honest about that.
00:53 And only if we're honest will we have a chance of properly fixing it and resolving this issue.
