00:00He's got to go. The people who put him there have got to go.
00:04It's not if, but when he goes.
00:06Labour's done, and it's sad. Our city's born on Labour, do you know what I mean?
00:12And seeing our own people now voting reform and voting, oh God, it's heart-rendering.
00:19And, you know, a lot of it is down to the success of Labour government and Tory government.
00:26People have just turned their backs.
00:27I think it's going to be this year sometime. I know the general election's still, what, three years away,
00:32so there's time for things to change, but, you know, people have got long memories.
00:37I think it's just associated with things not getting any better,
00:40and it's very hard to visualise how they are under him.

00:48I think the problem is that he is ideally suited to a different role.
00:52I think the role of a political leader in these troubled times needs a stronger personality.
00:58That's not to say he doesn't have other skills that could be used in the Cabinet somehow.

01:08but there's almost like a sense of resignation, hopelessness.
01:11It's all about Andy at the moment, isn't it?
01:13I don't really know a lot about Andy.
01:15Andy is the Mayor up in Manchester.
01:19He's done excellent work up there.
01:21You could never take that away from him, but I don't know.
01:25I think there's an obvious contender, but he's not eligible at the moment.
01:28We'll have to wait and see.
