Andy's reaction to Labour's landslide victory in the general election and the election of Keir Starmer as the next Prime Minister of the UK. Andy's reaction and reaction to the result, and his thoughts on the future of the country.
00:00:01.000There we go. Everything's gone red. Andy's doing a little snoopy dance at the side of me.
00:00:06.340He's very happy indeed. Labour has won the 2024 election.
00:00:11.180Not only have they won, they have absolutely smashed it out of the park.
00:00:16.380It is what they call a Labour landslide, maybe a super majority.
00:00:22.040Certainly Keir Starmer, a very happy man this morning.
00:00:26.160Rishi Sunak said he is on his way back to London.
00:00:29.080One can only imagine that he will be speaking to the king.
00:00:32.020He's already rung, he says, the leader of the Labour Party to concede and to congratulate him.
00:00:39.140He'll be heading back up to his constituency in, thank you very much, in North Yorkshire a little bit later on today.
00:00:46.660Whereas this man will be heading to Downey Street to be the next leader of this country.
00:00:52.460Of this country, I should say, the prime minister is that man there, Keir Starmer.
00:01:00.060Wow. And when you see it on the screen, it comes home now. It's real.
00:01:04.460We've waited so long for this moment as a party. It's been a hard 14 years.
00:01:10.340The struggles people have had, austerity and then Brexit and all that brought and the pandemic and the cost of it.
00:01:17.460It's been a hard, hard time. And, you know, just to see this moment of change come through now, it's just a wonderful moment.
00:01:26.000As I said before, for young people in this country who've only ever kind of had negativity from politics, this will be a massive moment in their lives.
00:01:35.120And the fact that we've got a big majority means Keir will get things through Parliament, change can happen.
