Jeremy, one of the things that there's been a lot of talk about is whether you will turn your alliance of MPs into a formal party
00:09
and whether you're thinking of contesting the next election as a formal party. Where are you on that?
00:16
The alliance group of MPs, five of us, have worked very hard and very well together over the past year in Parliament
00:21
and we're coming up to our first anniversary.
00:23
But there's some data that shows that if you did launch a party, you might do rather well.
00:27
Well, exactly. So next time you ask questions, ask about the alternative of a left, independent party, of a socialist view that's being put.
00:37
So where are you going to create one?
00:39
Let me finish. You're so excited. You just want it to start, don't you?
00:43
We haven't got long. The reason I'm pushing is we haven't got long to the end of the party.
00:46
That's what it is. There's a lot of people all around the country in different independent groups.
00:50
You look in Birmingham, look in Liverpool, look in Southport and so on.
00:53
There is a thirst for an alternative view to be put.
00:56
I'm working with all of those people. That grouping will come together.
01:00
There will be an alternative view and there will be an alternative put there,
01:04
which is about a society that deals with poverty, inequality and a foreign policy that's based on peace rather than war.
01:11
And would you like to lead that group?
01:13
I'm here to work. I'm here to serve the people in the way I've always tried to do.
01:18
I'm here to serve the people in the way I've always tried to share it.
01:23
But it's not fair.
