Note on record
Transcript from the video's captions, fetched on 2026-10-07; not an official record. Captions do not say who is speaking: Polifiles assigned each turn by reading the captions, without checking the audio. ITV News' upload of the full interview recorded at the Conservative conference in Birmingham (10 minutes); a short opening teaser that repeats two later answers (the Green Party, the triple lock) is left out, and so are the closing thanks. The presenter is named in the video description (ITV News' Political Editor Robert Peston) and in the captions ("So, Robert", "Thank you, Robert"). Turns assigned by meaning rather than the '>>' marks; where the voices overlap, her one-word replies ("Absolutely", "Yes") are kept as her turns and a stray "Well" before "honest" is left with his question. Trimmed: starts at "Can we say good to see you?"; ends at "pick me if they had to choose between the two of them.".
