00:00What I'm asking for is a proper timetable about what is going to happen next and is he going to
00:07take us forward? Come out and tell us. Set the agenda. Instead this passivity and this not really
00:13answering any questions just seems to me to be very strange. On Monday morning I have told the
00:19party chair that I'm very keen to put my name forward and seek nominations from other members
00:26of Parliament and see because I feel that because the response has been so lacklustre myself not
00:33known to be a leadership candidate has had to sort of be forced into that position. Now I don't have
00:39a candidate in mind and I don't do the tea rooms and the bars in Parliament but I just feel
00:44that
00:45the Labour Party needs to sort of slap itself wake up because we need to be leading the country and
00:53we need to be taking the fight to reform UK otherwise we will end up with an electoral
00:57map which is light blue in colour and the Labour Party which currently has a very good majority
01:02but I feel is not being well led.
