00:00Andy Burnham, I think you were nodding as Natalie was saying, we don't talk about this enough.
00:09Yes, I was. Victoria, I just want to echo what you said at the end of that interview. I think
00:15Natalie Fleet's going to be a really important voice in this parliament on the issue of sexual
00:20abuse and exploitation of women and girls. So all credit to her. And as you say, she'll have
00:25empowered many people in the last few days, given as a new MP she's chosen to do what she's done.
00:33I think we do need the culture change that she speaks of.
