00:00 I want to begin my time as your MP by being very clear.
00:05 I understand the enormity of what has just happened.
00:09 I know what an honour this is.
00:12 And I am humbled by this opportunity to serve.
00:16 In this campaign, we have rewritten the rules
00:19 on where Labour can win.
00:21 People have opened their doors to us
00:23 and embraced our positive vision for the future.
00:26 And thousands of the votes cast yesterday
00:29 were in Labour's box for the very first time.
00:33 For those of you who have put your faith in our party,
00:36 thank you.
00:38 I don't take it lightly, and I won't let you down.
00:42 And I don't shy away from the work that's to come.
00:45 The people of Selby and Ainsty have sent a clear message.
00:49 For too long, Conservatives up here and in Westminster
00:53 have failed us.
00:55 And today that changes.
00:57 It's time for a fresh start.
