00:00I think he's amazing. I think he's amazing as a mayor. I wish he was a mayor here, to be
00:04honest.
00:05But when he went to Manchester, that was fine. But I think he's been amazing as a mayor of Manchester.
00:09He's going to be a great Prime Minister.
00:10And he's very supportive of our mayor as well. So I'm sure that will continue when he becomes Prime Minister.
00:16Well, he seems to come across well. He seems to be wanting the North to do more.
00:22I remember him at the Hearst Memorial 20 years ago, where he said, yeah, enough's enough.
00:30And we got things done. So from that point, yeah, fair do's.
00:35I think he is fantastic. I am delighted he's won, because the thought of reform getting through, absolutely terrifying.
00:45I'd rather have the devil I know than the devil I don't know.
00:48Do you think he will go for this leadership race against Keir Starmer? And do you think he could win?
00:54For sure. For sure. Because there is a thing that seems to be a split between North and South, even
01:01within the Labour Party.
01:02The Labour Party has forgotten what it was founded on. Ironically, first then founded by a guy called Keir Hardy.
01:10But it doesn't seem to represent the working class. You only have to look at people around here.
01:14I think he will win. Yeah, I do.
01:16You will. Definitely.
01:17Keir Starmer is scared, because he wants to put him off in any competition, because he's scared that he's going
01:23to win.
01:24And he's being useless, hasn't he? Absolutely useless.
01:27Who are you talking about, John? You're not talking about Sandy.
01:29No, I'm not.
