00:00I was surprised that Anas said what he said, but I think what happened yesterday was that Labour MPs and the party looked over the precipice and thought,
00:09you know, do we want to go down the road of the Tories when they were in power, chaotic, disorderly leadership contests,
00:15or do we want to stick with the man who was elected 18 months ago, Keir Starmer, and to fulfil his mandate?
00:22And we decided, in my view, absolutely rightly to do that, to focus on the country, not on turning inwards on ourselves.
00:30But this has got to be a moment of change. Peter Maddison should never have been appointed because it undermined our message that we stand up for the powerless, not the powerful.
00:38And this has got to be a moment of change where we have greater clarity of purpose and avoid some of the mistakes that we've seen.
00:43But what gets you through in politics is values and mission, and I know that's what Keir is going to focus on.
