00:00When you're ready. Just a quick one about how you're feeling nationally and locally.
00:07I mean, it's looking a bit of a... there's no point in sort of sweetening the pill.
00:13It's a disastrous result across the country for the Conservative Party.
00:17I've been pretty proud about the campaign that I've run locally.
00:21I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It's looking pretty tight.
00:25We fought a very, very local campaign about all the work that I'd done over the last 14 years.
00:31You know, we've achieved a lot.
00:34We protected the Green Belt across the south part of Hales-Owen.
00:37We brought a lot more jobs and investment into the area.
00:40Improving transport links. Fighting for health services.
00:44So I've run on my local track record and I got a lot of positive responses on the door.
00:51And, you know, in the end, in politics, that's an important thing.
00:55Yeah. And I guess this is the nitty-gritty now, isn't it? It's coming down to the wire.
01:00How are you feeling inside?
01:04Well, look, you know, I've dedicated 17 years of my career to politics.
01:10I've been involved in frontline politics in Hales-Owen for 17 years.
01:13And, you know, it's a big commitment of time and a big commitment of effort.
01:18I think most people in Hales-Owen would say, not everybody because you make enemies in politics,
01:24but most people would say that they think I have done a decent job as the MP.
01:29And, you know, when you go into public life, I think that would be a good result, you know, for people to say that.
01:37So that's an important part of this.
01:41OK, then we'll thank you.
01:43Yeah, no problem.
