00:00 It is hard because the last time the Labour Party went from opposition into government
00:08 was 1997. That's a long time ago, some of you wouldn't even be bored. But it was a long,
00:14 long time ago. But then there was a feeling, there was a song that was associated with
00:19 the incoming Labour government, "Things can only get better." Because the national mood
00:23 was quite upbeat. We're turning into a new century, the economy was on the up, but we're
00:28 not in that place at the moment. So I think the hope has to be ordinary, realistic, if
00:34 you like, rather than something that's fanciful. If I say to you we're going to change everything
00:38 within two years, it's all going to be brilliant. I don't think you'll believe me. And you'd
00:41 be right not to.
