00:00Can I just ask you lastly about the government's mood music?
00:04Prime Minister, pretty Eeyore-ish last week.
00:09You're proposing a ban on advertising fast food.
00:12You're banning smartphones for kids.
00:14You're promising 10 years of slog to repair the NHS.
00:20You personally are a rather cheerful chap,
00:23but as a government, you really are a pretty miserable bunch,
00:27aren't you?
00:29I think we reflect the public.
00:31We've just had a general election.
00:33People know that our public service is in a state.
00:36They know it's going to take some heavy lifting.
00:38We've got this 22 billion black hole.
00:41This is not...
00:42But we need to cheer up the country a bit.
00:44You do this stuff for the purpose of getting
00:47to the sunny uplands of a rebuilt NHS.
00:50Our schools and our young people are thriving.
00:53Are you sure you're not doing it with the purpose of being
00:54able to tell us in a year's time, it's all terrible.
00:57No, it's fantastic.
00:58That is why you do it.
