00:00 I'm feeling very excited. Liberal Democrat supporters up in London, people are very enthusiastic
00:06 about our promise to fix the Metropolitan Police, to get police back on the front line
00:11 and to cut crime. We're also helped by the fact that the Conservatives have collapsed
00:16 in London, their vote is down, people are really not enthusiastic about the Conservative
00:20 Party right now. And people are also very disappointed about Sadiq Khan's record, particularly
00:26 on crime. So that gives us a great opportunity. So I'm out campaigning today and tomorrow
00:30 for every last vote because we think we can make big gains in this election. We're working
00:34 very hard to get our message out to people so people know what we stand for and understand
00:39 why we'll be better than the alternatives. So that's been a few debates, but the Labour
00:44 and Conservative candidates have been running away from debates. And obviously it's been
00:48 knocking on doors and meeting people around London. So yesterday I was in Brick Lane meeting
00:52 local businesses and curry restaurants who were telling me about their problems with
00:56 business rates, but also of course their problems with crime. And all around London people have
01:01 been telling me how Labour and the Conservatives have let them down.
