00:00Well, John was an incredible figure in politics, both in the Labour movement and in politics in general.
00:06And it's really sad that John's not here anymore because he's been a huge support to me ever since I came into politics.
00:13He could kind of see that I was this, you know, bit of a bright, bright spark that was like willing to go in their boots first,
00:21which was John's trademark as well. And he was incredibly supportive of me when I became the deputy leader of the Labour Party.
00:28And as deputy prime minister, he'd always ring me after I'd done prime minister's questions and really say,
00:34Angie, you're there to represent that voice of the working class movement. Go out there and, you know, make sure you're batting on their side.
00:41And he always brought it back down to the communities that he served. And of course, he served the people of Hull for a very long time.
