00:00When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job.
00:07Being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side through

00:37It's hard for the special advisers. It's hard for the officials because you work really closely with this person.
00:42Of course, Andy Burnham is taking his seat in the House of Commons today.
00:46Wes Streeting has suggested in a little sort of statement or letter on Twitter that he doesn't really want a

01:04So Helen and I are going to talk about what is on his to-do list.
01:08And she'll also be telling us about these handovers of power, which are so interesting.
01:12Anyway, more of this for less of Steve Bray, who was screaming away in the street playing Ode to Joy.
01:19And for more analysis of Keir Starmer's speech and what we think will happen next, stay tuned for In The
01:25Room tomorrow afternoon.
