1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: It's quoted too with us now as Indo Brady are

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: UK correspondent Evening Inda.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Hello, Heather, lovely to speak to you, Agan, good to

4
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: talk to you.

5
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Is is what do you make of Angela Raina getting

6
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: these vanity photographs taken?

7
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, look, this is a spillover from the Conservative government

8
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: because they had professional photographers. Boris Johnson had his own

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: professional photographer, and it is it's a control mechanism basically

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: to make sure that the pictures that end up in

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: the papers nobody is unhappy with them. And look, whatever

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: anyone thinks in public life of photographers who work for newspapers,

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: they are there to document history. They are there to

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: document the news and archive life as they see it,

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: not how you want to be seen. And we've we've

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: had some kind of stupid pictures over the years of

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: politicians in public doing stupid things and they get on

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: the front pages and the narrative kind of sticks. I mean,

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: we had a guy, a labor politician, he was the

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: Labor leader, Ed Milliband, he never became Prime minister and

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: there was a picture of him eating a bake sandwich

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: one day that a photographer took and it was he

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: just made a mess of eating a sandwich, and that

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: basically was the narrative that you wouldn't let this guy

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: run the country. You can't even eat a sandwich. So

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: I think what Browner is doing basically is a spillover

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: from everything that went on in Downing Street on the

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: Boris Johnson, that taxpayer money was put aside for professional photographers.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: Johnson had a huge, huge ego, and you know, the

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: money's there and she's just using it, same as the

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: Tories did.

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: What about her drinking whiskey through a straw though, that's

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna be some sort of a crime.

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and she was. Look, Look, she gets a lot

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: of attention in the media because an awful lot of

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: people she's quite divisive. Look, she's a working class girl

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: from a working class background and she's deputy Prime minister.

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: An awful lot of people here on the right hate

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: her for that very reason. So whatever she wears tomorrow,

40
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: she goes out and wears a ten dollars blouse tomorrow,

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: they will say, oh my god, she's deputy prime minister.

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: Wouldn't she dress up? Make an effort. And then if

43
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: she's seen in the the designer Frock next week it'll

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: be oh my god, who's paying for this? She can't win.

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: It was not gonna win if she's drinking whiskey out

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of a straw. But maybe it's a thing that's going

47
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: to catch on. Hey, listen, how is it? Five and

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a half percent pay rise for nurses? Not enough?

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: They say they deserve more. And the inflation last year

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: the start of last year was running at eleven percent.

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: And I think what's happened is they've seen the junior

52
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: doctors get thirty five percent over the next couple of years.

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: They've seen train drivers get twenty two percent, and I

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: think the nurses have just looked around and thought, do

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: you know what? You all were happy enough to stand

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: every Thursday evening during COVID on your doorsteps and bang

57
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: pots and pans and clap for us. Well, you know

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: the time for clapping is over. They were the absolute

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: heroines and heroes of the pandemic. My mother was a

60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: nurse in Ireland. She was a psychiatric nurse. Nurses do

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: a bloody, bloody good job and they don't get paid

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: anywhere near what they should. And I think a lot

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: of nurses here are a breaking point. And I think

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: the big winners out of this will be the health

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: services of New Zealand, Australia, Canada, United States. Do buy

66
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: where people want to go and actually earn a living

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: and have an awful lot less stressed.

68
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that now Keyostamas speech right, He's going

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: to stay in his vision for Britain today at the

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: Labor Party conference. Are you expecting it to be a

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: real tub thump or what?

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: He doesn't really do? Rasmetas He's not Tony Blair. I

73
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: mean everyone's expecting Blair and you know de Rem music

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: in the background and things can only get better. He's

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: a pragmatist. But I think the problem Starmer has now

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: is he spent the last eight weeks telling everyone how

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: bad it is, and it is bad. Here seven million

78
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: people on the waiting list for hospital treatment, seven million

79
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: people waiting for hospital treatment in Britain. A GDP debt

80
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: is now one hundred percent of GDP. Absolutely everything in

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: this country is broken. And I think, you know, as

82
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: much as people hated the last lot, they need to

83
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: hear that he has got some solutions. And hopefully today

84
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: is the day where he just spells out that you

85
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: know there are better days coming but just bear with me.

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: We need ideas, not word salad. I mean we've had

87
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: fourteen years of word salad under the Conservatives and it's

88
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: got Britain absolutely nowhere. So all eyes on Starmer today.

89
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: I think the big problem he has is there's no money.

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: There's simply no money left in

91
