So, you're pleased to have won?
00:01
Yes, obviously, yeah, completely thrilled.
00:05
How confident were you about winning through the night? It's been quite close.
00:08
Yeah, I mean, it's close. It was always going to be close, we knew that.
00:12
But we had a brilliant campaign, and we reached people that I don't think others knew we were reaching
00:18
through our social media, through our networks, and our amazing, as always, Labour Party ground campaign.
00:23
So we did what we needed to do, so I'm absolutely over the moon.
00:26
Are Labour fighting on two fronts now, losing votes to reform and the Greens?
00:30
I don't think we're fighting on two fronts. I think, for me, I'm focused on the place that I'm now the Mayor of,
00:35
which is the West of England, and I don't see it as a fight against reform or the Greens,
00:39
but I do see that we've got a progressive majority here in our part of the world,
00:43
but there are obviously people that were unhappy today who didn't choose to vote for me,
00:47
that maybe might have done, so we've got to work with those.
00:50
But we've got to also get a place that feels like it works for everyone, and that's now my job.
00:54
So what's the plan?
00:55
So the plan is to do exactly what I said in my manifesto, so looking at buses first,
01:00
because that's what everyone asks us to look at, looking at getting those train stations opened,
01:05
looking at how we build houses, but in the right place with the right services,
01:08
and how we get better links between education and industry,
01:11
so that our young people have a clear pathway into their future careers,
01:14
which will also help to give them security, better standards for living,
01:19
and help our place to thrive, which is ultimately what we all need.
01:21
Obviously, it was labour before. How are things going to be different with you as mayor?
01:26
Well, I'm now the mayor, so it's going to be quite different.
01:29
I can't speak from what's gone before. I know what I'm going to do.
01:33
I know how I work, so yeah, it'll feel very different,
01:37
but it'll be very productive, just getting stuff done,
01:40
working with people, working with whoever I need to.
01:43
I'm hopefully working at pace as well.
