00:00Well, the exit poll nationally was obviously a disappointment.
00:04It's not the result I would have wanted for the country,
00:08or for the many hard-working colleagues that appear to be on track to lose their seats.
00:16Because I know how hard they've worked.
00:18But locally, I think the exit poll...
00:22I think the exit poll for Burnley is a safe Labour win.
00:25I'm not sure it's that safe more than you'd expect it to be.
00:28This is a seat that has been Labour for 101 of the last 110 years,
00:33so there should be a decisive swing to them.
00:36And that's not what I'm seeing as I'm walking round the county hall tonight.
00:40So I'm still very much hoping Burnley books the trend.
00:43We've got a couple of hours left here.
00:44I mean, it has been the biggest honour of my life to be the member of parliament for the place I call home.
00:52And it's fair to say the last four and a half years have been anything but easy.
00:57I never expected to deal with a global pandemic, an energy crisis or some war return in Europe.
01:04But I think residents can see that despite those challenging headwinds,
01:09my focus has always been Burnley and Paddy and our villages.
01:14And trying to put the western suburb to one side and deliver things for local people.
01:19So that's what I look back on the last four years.
01:23We've done important local work at the same time that we've had to deal with some pretty big challenges.
01:31Anything else you want to add?
01:34Not yet.
01:35Can I take a picture of you?
01:37Of course you can.
