00:00 What's your reaction to the general election being announced?

00:02 To be quite frank, at the moment, couldn't care less. More concerned about this.

00:06 This is what's important right now. Three, four weeks down the line,

00:11 somewhere else. That's for another time. It's up to them.

00:15 And at the moment, do you think we're in such a crisis we're just having to

00:18 literally fight fires as they come?

00:19 Absolutely, one at a time. Just knock this door down

00:23 and then we'll deal with the general election when that comes round.

00:26 And what about yourself, sir? What's your view on the general election

00:30 suddenly being announced?

00:31 It's just part of the courteous waste of time.

00:59 and the Labour Party, and the votes, that we should be voting wrong.

01:03 What's your reaction to Rishi Sunak announcing general election?

01:07 Well, I think, in my eyes, I think it's a good idea. It's about time we had a bit of a shake-up

01:11 because just things have become complacent within the government and a lot of things

01:17 need changing. So hopefully we'll get better things coming, especially for the homeless.

01:22 So Rishi Sunak's just called a general election. What's your reaction?

01:27 What? When? When?

01:28 Just now, about an hour ago, since I was recording this.

01:30 When's the election?

01:32 In July.

01:33 What's the... Whoa! Get in!
