'We will give this region a fresh start'
This is the most important thing I will ever do. This week people here voted for the person and the party. They recognised that a Labour mayor can make a positive difference in this region. Thank you. You have put your trust in me, and I will pay that trust. I will deliver for you and your family. I promise you that I will deliver jobs. We will fix our public transport system, we will build the homes you need, and we will give this region the fresh start it richly deserves. I hope the Prime Minister is watching today as well because in case you haven’t heard, British Sunak, our people are calling for a general election. I will get this region’s future back and work, and the Labour mayor, working with the Labour government, will help get get. Sorry, and I believe a Labour mayor working with the Labour government will help get Britain’s future back. Thank you.
