Note on record

Transcript from the video's captions, fetched on 2026-10-09; not an official record. Captions do not say who is speaking: Polifiles assigned each turn by reading the captions, without checking the audio. BBC News' upload of the live interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg on the first day of Labour's conference in Liverpool (26 minutes), from the welcome to his last answer; the closing thanks are left out. A live exchange with much crosstalk: the captions run the two voices together in places, so short fragments are assigned by meaning, not by the '>>' marks (for example "by 2029, which is more than" and "immediately." are given to Laura Kuenssberg). In the exchange on VAT the captions interleave her repeated "Will you rule out raising VAT" with his answer; that stretch is kept in his turn as captioned. Trimmed: starts at "Well, Prime Minister, welcome to the program."; ends at "that's what I'm going to be talking about at conference.".
