00:00Let me start by saying this was a very good victory in the by-election, and I've sent my congratulations
00:06to Andy Burnham, and I repeat them here.
00:09And actually my thanks to all of our activists and members who fought so hard over the last few weeks
00:14in what turned out to be a real battle of values, Labour values, against divisive reform values and a very
00:24divisive candidate.
00:25So that is a really, really good outcome. I think it's further evidence, actually, if you look at it in
00:31the context of other by-elections, that the tide is turning on reform, that they can't now win by-elections.
00:38They've reached probably the peak of their support, and it's going down. So very good. Congratulations to Andy Burnham. But
00:44actually tide is turning on reform as well. So this is really important in that respect.
