What's on the tape
A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation. Every timestamp jumps to that moment in the video.
0:01 Labor party I've got a very big opinion about the labor party right now I think I know what their problem is I think they're they're missing. The point with appointing a leader who's got the right image EDM band completely missed the boat with with him it was a really big mistake. I think they can make a very similar mistake with Joey Corbin I think he looks like a malnourished Granddad it's just skinny old guy I think by the time. Next election he'll be 71 so do you think that's right do you think they're just going wrong with the image of leaders I mean all of the political FS. Aside for one second all their individual views and everything aside they're just not picking people who look like leaders no well you could say that yeah. And um uh he does he he look I'd say described him as a an erasable woodwork teacher you know and uh he's um he's got.
0:46 You know I had a woodwork teacher just like him technology yeah and uh you know but I think that's that's right now he is galvanizing. Political support and he is uh engaging people in politics that previously had never bothered with politics he's getting teenagers interested in politics teenagers queuing up to get to his meetings. Regardless of what happens with the election campaign and with the future uh you know of the leader of the party what's what he's doing now it's brilliant. It's brilliant that so many people are getting engaged in rather like the way that the whole of Scotland became involved in the independence debate people who were never even interested. In politics before are being drawn into it because of him and so regardless of anything else that's a good.
