00:13And good old Andy, good old Andy.
00:15And I'm made up, absolutely thrilled.
00:18He seems, when he says things to you,
00:21you believe him, don't you,
00:23before you think the other ones, you go, oh, yes.
00:27He's all right. He can do things. He'll change things.
00:31He'll bring things to the north and everything.
00:35He'll do good.
00:36I think he can be a good guy. He's a northern guy.

00:55I said, do you know what, Gil?
00:56I said, that northern divide has been going for donkey shoes.

01:10we're going to do that.
01:11And they do nothing.
01:12And then you get your money taken off here.
01:15Money goes down.
01:16I give a go. Give a chance.
01:19I wasn't really upset with Keir Starmer about it, mate.
01:24To be honest with you, I wasn't.
01:27I thought he had some good points.
