00:00Andy's taught this week and for many weeks and for many months about public
00:06control for public good and what you can deliver better through public control
00:11of some of our essential services. You can deliver lower prices, better service
00:16because the privatisation of our utilities, of our transport buses and
00:21trains, you know it hasn't worked. We've just seen profit extracted, fares going up,
00:26unreliable services in transport and in our utilities you know these egregious
00:31bonuses you know not the investment we need in the infrastructure and bills
00:36going up for people so it's the different models there are different ways of doing
00:41it he's done it one way in Greater Manchester with the with the buses but
00:44public control for public good that is what he is about and I think it's the
00:49right approach.
