00:00We could see this getting personal.
00:02Addressing Labour MPs last night,
00:05Sakhir Starmer called Nigel Farage, a Putin apologist,
00:08and he said he hasn't got a patriotic bone in his body.
00:12It could get very, very ugly with your leader under a special scrutiny.
00:18Well, we don't mind scrutiny at all, and I'm afraid that's the nature of politics.
00:21But look, the reality is we've got the mandate.
00:24I mean, we've just won by huge numbers, the local elections, the mayoral elections.
00:28I think we've got more than twice as many votes as were cast for Labour.
00:33So, of course, Starmer's panicking. He's terrified.
00:35It's quite funny. In the Commons now, he looks at Nigel and I
00:40as much as he looks at Kemi, and he looks really anxious.
00:43You know, what are we doing? When are we laughing? What are we saying?
00:47And look, he's right to say we are effectively the real opposition.
00:50And we don't mind scrutiny. We've got nothing to afraid of.
00:53We've got to deliver on running the councils, and I think we'll deliver really well.
00:57Already we're discovering great savings and stopping unnecessary capital projects
01:02in just a matter of weeks, so we're already starting to deliver.
