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