00:00I'm feeling really upbeat. I'm going to be mixing that music later because I think we're
00:04on for a really good win. Liberal Democrats are really strong in the Hull and East Yorkshire
00:10mayoral contest with Mike Ross. We're finding people who previously voted Conservative switching
00:15to the Liberal Democrats, people who used to vote Labour switching to the Liberal Democrats.
00:19They like the fact that Mike's experience, that he knows the area, he could get this
00:23job done unlike any other candidate. I'm very positive about our chances. I'm finding and
00:29listening to our people who are on the doorsteps, people are really getting behind the Liberal
00:33Democrats here. They like what we've done. They like that we've taken real measures to
00:37tackle crime, that we've really looked after the environment and we've got some great plans
00:41about how we would, for example, reopen some of the old railway lines. So we've got those
00:46exciting plans. I think people like them and they really like Mike and the Liberal Democrats here.
