00:00We talked about leaks earlier on in this conversation.
00:04There are cynics who say that you may have leaked that memo yourself
00:08as a kind of mini-manifesto for the kind of leadership you'd offer
00:12if the Labour Party's need arose.
00:16Would you like to knock that one on the head?
00:18Yeah, absolutely not.
00:19And I don't want to be leader of the Labour Party.
00:22I'm very happy and honoured to do the job that I'm doing.
00:23What kind of politician are you? You don't want to be leader of your party?
00:26No, I'm very happy and honoured to be Deputy Prime Minister of this country
00:31and I've got a lot in my entry to prove that I can do the job that I'm doing
00:36and deliver on the milestones for the people of this country.
00:39That's what I'm interested in, Trevor.
00:40You know this is being recorded, don't you?
00:42Because actually that means one day if you do,
00:45somebody's going to play it back to you.
00:47Absolutely. I'll be happy for you to play it back to me.
00:49I have no desire to go for the leadership of the Labour Party.
00:53My desire is to deliver for the people of this country
00:55who have given me opportunities beyond what I could have dreamed of.
00:59Say the word never.
01:01Never.
01:04Andrew Radar, thank you for your time.
