00:00Andy Burnham is actually quite a difficult journey to make with Donald Trump. The general
00:05position of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom is not pro the President of the United States and
00:12in this country the Prime Minister relies on the support of their MPs to stay in power. So he's
00:21got to take this quite delicately. But I think Andy Burnham and frankly most of the serious
00:26players in the Labour Party also understand realpolitik. There is no point in the United
00:32Kingdom becoming an enemy of America or a critic of America because we are so closely intertwined
00:38not just culturally but also more importantly for the economy in our business and the way that we
00:43operate. So the trade deals, the avoidance of some tariffs which the UK has managed to avoid because
00:50of the relationships between our two countries, those are really vital to Andy Burnham.
