00:00Well, we're very encouraged by the exit poll and it shows what a tremendous job Keir Starmer has done
00:06in transforming the Labour Party and putting forward a programme for government that people can really get behind.
00:12I think it also shows that 14 years of the Conservatives, where they've had chaos and decline,
00:19people are really punishing them for that record of failure.
00:22Well look, it is just an exit poll and again, we haven't had any of the results through yet
00:28so I'm not about to start counting my chickens just yet, but it is encouraging
00:33and it doesn't matter the majority, the point is that the mandate, hopefully, that Keir Starmer will have
00:39is that we can go forward now and turn the page on the chaos and the decline that we've seen under the Conservatives
00:46and really have that programme for growth now, which will enable us to pay for our public services and get back on the right track.
