00:00As the Prime Minister in that very dignified statement said yesterday, he is now setting out an orderly time deal
00:05for his departure, putting the country first.
00:08He wants to see that swift and orderly transition. So do I. Prime Minister has set out. He will be
00:14giving his successor, his full backing.
00:16And in terms of that successor, I do believe that should be Andy Burnham. I believe that, first of all,
00:20we need someone with a track record of delivery.
00:22That's what he's shown as the Mayor of Greater Manchester. But secondly, there is a question as to who is
00:27best placed to defeat reform
00:29at the next general election. I think we saw in Makerfield a resounding answer that that is Andy.
