00:00We've got to now take this moment to answer the challenges that have been laid down.
00:08I did describe it last night as a last chance to change, and I think that's how people here
00:14kind of saw it when I was talking to them on the doorsteps, and they said, well Andy,
00:18maybe we can give you our support this time, but you know it's not a blank check, it's not ongoing.
00:25You have to respond to what people here are saying. You have to do something.
00:30To make life more affordable, to put more money in people's pockets, to give people more breathing space again
00:37so that they can have a better life. That's what people were saying, and we must respond to that.
00:45We need an economy that works for everybody, not a few in far off places from here,
00:52but an economy that works for people right here. We do need to bring down water bills, energy bills,
00:59rail fares, just as we've brought down bus fares in Greater Manchester to make life more affordable for people.
