00:00I think it just outlines Keir Starmer's weakness of leadership, his lack of a backbone, he's
00:09terrified of his own shadow, running scared, stopping someone before they can even be considered
00:15by local members. It shows you the chaos that the Labour Party's in, whether it's Ed Miliband,
00:19West Street in Keir Starmer or Andy Burnham, I'm sure there is still no plan from this
00:24Labour government. It's a disaster for our economy, it's a disaster for our country.
00:27I think there are parts of the country that are more challenging for every party. We'll
00:33be putting forward a fantastic local candidate, we'll be fighting for every vote. We are the
00:38party that has a leader with backbone, we've got a team ready to support her and we'll
00:42fight to create a stronger economy and stronger borders for this country.
