00:00 The result here in Selby and Ainstead is absolutely incredible.

00:03 It's the first time that the Labour Party in its history

00:07 has overturned a 20,000 majority in a former Conservative seat.

00:11 And I think it shows that after we've now changed the party,

00:16 we can win anywhere, including in places

00:19 that were Tory strongholds.

00:21 So I know the people in this constituency

00:23 have put their trust in the Labour Party,

00:25 in Keir Mather as the new MP, and we

00:28 deliver on that trust.
