00:00 I'm under no illusion I could lose the election and I say that because of two big things.
00:05 One is the change in rules the government's done which I think has been done for a deliberate
00:09 reason to make it more difficult for Labour to win and more easy for the Conservatives
00:14 to win. First past the post which means if you don't vote for me it's one less vote for
00:21 the Tory candidate to get photo ID. We knew there were 900,000 Londoners without photo
00:27 ID. Young people, black, Asian, Irish, I think Londoners, those who are poorer people, those
00:31 who are disabled. And the second big issue is many Londoners don't realise there's an
00:36 election on May 2nd. So I'm doing what I can to remind Londoners of all the things we've
00:41 achieved over the last eight years despite a Conservative government. Free school meals
00:45 for the first time ever, freezing TfL fares five of the last eight years, freezing them
00:48 next year as well, record numbers of council homes and completions, mentors for young people,
00:54 constructive things for young people. But also there's an election on May 2nd. Please
00:57 get registered. Please get photo ID. To be clear, you don't think you're on course for
01:01 the sort of victory the polls are suggesting you are? Listen, the most important poll is
01:05 on election day. I've been in this business far too long to believe the polls. In 2016
01:11 we believed the polls and the referendum was lost in 2016. Many of my friends in America
01:16 believed the polls and then Donald Trump was elected. I'm quite clear this is an election
01:20 like no other because the government's changed the rules in relation to London elections.
01:24 Photo ID, first past the post, but also a lack of awareness about these elections taking
01:29 place.
