00:00I'm absolutely thrilled to have been elected as Labour's deputy leader. What an immense job at such an important time, not just for our party, but for our country as well, because it really rests on our shoulders now as the Labour Party, the Labour government, to prove that progressive mainstream politics can really change people's lives for the better.
00:23Because we are facing these forces of division, of hate, of disillusionment, of discontentment, and it's our job to really see that off and stand together and stand tall in the face of that division and that hate.
00:38And that is what I will do, working alongside Keir, Anna, the rest of the party and the Labour government, because I want to show for people what this Labour government is really about.
00:49We are about changing people's lives for the better. The country hasn't worked for people for the last 14 years and we are going about fixing that every single day.
