- 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. ITV News' upload of a Talking Politics podcast episode (10 minutes) built around Robert Peston's interview with the Prime Minister at the Labour conference in Liverpool, recorded after his keynote speech on 30 September 2025 (uploaded 1 October). Only the interview is kept, from the first question to his last answer: the opening clip, Robert Peston's introduction, the closing thanks and his analysis after the interview are left out. The captions run the two voices together in places, so turns are assigned by meaning, not by the '>>' marks (for example the question on whether Reform's policy, party and supporters are racist, which has no mark, is given to Robert Peston; in "Talk about your personal ju just hear how committed are you?" the fragment "just hear", probably the Prime Minister starting "just hear me out", stays inside the question). Trimmed: starts at "Prime Minister, you reject the politics of grievance"; ends at "when we're working in that capacity, work very well together.".
