00:00How are you feeling about the effort, how are you feeling about that today?

00:03Yeah, I mean I've been out in the target seats today in Brighton and that was looking good.

00:08But yeah, the exit poll was kind of a bit of a surprise.

00:12Yeah.

00:13So, and from a Green perspective, only two seats.

00:16It's really going to depend if we start to see how the vote takes shape later and that will be our key thing.

00:22But yeah, we've had a look here at a few of my campaigning agents and it seems to be doing okay.

00:28So, what are your expectations? Is there a kind of, what's the ceiling, what's the floor?

00:33What do you think will happen?

00:34Well, certainly, ideally, from a Green perspective, we'd like to save our deposit here, get the 5%.

00:39That would be quite an advance on 2019 and the by-election actually.

00:44So yeah, that would be a good base to build from.

00:48Obviously Kettering is the one we're most interested in.

00:51Yeah.

00:52What do you think will happen with that? Do you think there's a chance of winning it?

00:57Having seen the exit poll now, it seems probably not because the Tory vote has held up a bit better.

01:03So, we're not sure there, but I think that'll be easily our best result in Northamptonshire.

01:08A lot of effort has gone into it.

01:10Yeah, fair enough.

01:11And just with your own campaign, are you happy with how it's gone?

01:14Yeah.

01:15Are you satisfied with it?

01:16Yeah, we think it's gone really well. We've got our leaflet out.

01:19First time I think we've done social media advertising here.

01:22And a lot of people anecdotally have picked up on that.

01:25So yeah, we're quite optimistic that we've done a bit better than the by-election, which will be the main thing.
