00:00Okay, so you've seen the exit poll, what was your reaction when you first saw it?
00:04EP! Excited, thankful, just everything to be happy about. I feel the change is going to be amazing, especially for Sandwell.
00:15How much of a change do you think is going to come in Sandwell, particularly if Labour MPs get elected tonight?
00:20It'll be a whole new ball game, won't it? We'll be able to decide together what is a priority for Sandwell and how we're going to go about it.
00:27How do you think the campaign has been fought, particularly when you've been out campaigning?
00:31Well, it's been a good fight actually, it's been quite clean, there's not been much being thrown at me from any direction or anybody else as I know of.
00:41It's been a good campaign.
00:44Looking ahead, what are your five hopes after this election campaign, particularly with your role within Sandwell?
00:53Just to get things moving, be able to have, not extra money, but the money that we've got and be able to use it for our own values rather than somebody else's values.
01:05Hopefully levelling up will disappear to be something totally new and we'll be able to spend the money a bit better.
01:12There's lots of asks really, lots of asks and it's all to do with how we're treated as a council.
