00:00Emotional? You look a bit emotional.

00:02No, I don't know, to be honest. I mean, it's just draining now, you know, to get to this stage at this time of the morning.

00:08You probably know that better than I do.

00:10We've got about another two hours of work to do.

00:12Better than I do.

00:14You know, but it hasn't sunk in yet.

00:16The most important thing for me, you know, is the fact that we've got a Labour government.

00:20You know, just electing the Labour MP doesn't really, you know, unless it comes with a Labour government.

00:26It's now about putting those first steps into action so that we can start to turn the page,

00:33to put the country on a different trajectory, you know,

00:36to make sure that people feel that politics is being done for them

00:39and that they've got a government that serves its people.

00:42And I just think that's been so important.

00:44What I'll do is I'll give people a voice and the communities a voice

00:48to make sure that they're heard in Westminster,

00:51but more importantly than that, work in the communities.

00:54This is not about, here's what's happening in Westminster.

00:56We know that. We're fed up with that.

00:58Here's what's happening in Corby and East Northamptonshire.

01:01You know, I'm going to Pengreen on Saturday.

01:03They've got an open day. I can't think of a better place to start

01:06because it's dripping in Labour values, in my opinion.

01:10You know, and to go there, not just as an advocate for them,

01:13but their friend and their Member of Parliament who's going to speak up for them.

01:17And that's why I'm doing this, you know, for people and places like that.

01:22Are you going to have a time-off maybe next week?

01:25I think Sunday's looking OK at the minute,

01:28but I don't really know what happens.

01:31You know, somebody told me that...

01:35Yeah, I don't really know what happens next, so I'm just waiting.

01:38I don't know if somebody's going to phone me or what.

01:41I don't know.

01:43Well, it's not surprising that you wouldn't know what happens,

01:46but would you like to pay tribute to anybody in particular

01:49who's helped you through the past year, really?

01:52I mean, I guess your family have made a lot of sacrifices, I know.

01:55Yeah, I mean, and that's where it starts.

01:58I mean, you don't go into something like this without their support

02:01and without talking to them about it.

02:04And, you know, everything that I've got goes to them.

02:08And also the campaigners,

02:10the people that have pretty much walked every step of the way with us.

02:14You can't do something like this.

02:16What we did and what was so important is...

02:19Corby and East North Anse is a massive constituency,

02:22so we put structures in place all over that constituency

02:25to make sure that East North Anse felt as much a part of it

02:28as what Corby does, because we knew that to get this over the line,

02:32we had to make sure we reached into parts of this constituency

02:35we haven't reached into before, and we managed to do that.

02:38But my commitment is to everybody, because I've met everybody,

02:41even those that don't support me, even those that didn't vote for me,

02:44is to say to them that I'll be their MP as well.
