00:00Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future, to decide whether
00:05we want to build on the progress we have made or risk going back to
00:08square one with no plan and no certainty. Earlier today I spoke with
00:14His Majesty the King to request the dissolution of Parliament. The King
00:18has granted this request and we will have a general election on the
00:214th of July. This election will take place at a time when the world is
00:25more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War. Putin's
00:30Russia is waging a brutal war in Ukraine and will not stop there if he
00:33succeeds. Are you looking forward to all the football? Not so much my bag.
00:38Well, get people in, get people in. No, but that's because you guys aren't
00:43in it. Get people out, you know, there'll be people coming, it'll be
00:47good summer as well. But kind of support England at least. Yeah. Well,
00:50while he's hoping voters will flock to polling stations in his favour on
00:55July the 4th, he's not had, apparently, looking at these images, the
01:00same appeal. Down on the farm where he's been in Devon this afternoon,
01:04he's been wooing farmers, but the sheep don't seem that interested as
01:11he was trying to feed them. When I grew up, my dad was a toolmaker, he
01:15worked in a factory. It's true. My mum was a nurse and actually we
01:19couldn't make ends meet, which actually isn't a laughing matter, we
01:22couldn't make ends meet.
01:32He'll be monitoring that, the Labour event is already kicking off, but
01:35Starmer's not on the stage. Here goes Ed Davey, double the stuff. Wow,
01:39the extra weight makes it really... You can see his lacklustre, that
01:42looks fun.
01:43Will, I'm just going to pause you there, because believe it or not,
01:48that's Ed Davey, Paddy. I'm not going to get you to... He's got the
01:51handbrake off, hasn't he?
01:52Yeah, well, he's certainly going for it. I mean, kind of showing what
01:56Gareth Southgate should do, which is be a bit bold and a bit brave,
02:00maybe not jump off a ledge, although he might have felt like it at the
02:0494th minute last night.
