| 0:00.0 | So a few weeks ago, you're doing a plastering course. What's going on with the plastering course? |
| 0:04.7 | I've finished my plastering course this Thursday, officially. How did it go? Passed. No, I only did I pass on my city and guilds. I got a distinction. Oh, hello. So I'm chuffed to bit. Oh my God. Did you have to do that? So you sat the exam while you're doing it? Yeah, so it was a two-day assessment, yeah, full-day. |
| 0:21.4 | Aligned. |
| 0:21.8 | To get anything done, did it. |
| 0:23.7 | What can I say? |
| 0:24.6 | Would you cheat? that so you sat the exam while you're doing yeah so it's a two-day assessment yeah full day to get anything done did it what can i say was your cheetah originally livid that you were standing um no so i kind of didn't really say because it all happened really quick then on the day of the announcement i'd let him know i might be in a bit late and then obviously the media buzz was just huge so I was like I had to |
| 0:37.6 | set something and say I weren't be in today thankfully the week I was selected as the |
| 0:40.5 | candidate I'd had my mock assessment which I'd passed so I was on course past the |

| 0:54.0 | all of a sudden even this're in this whirlwind, |
| 0:56.7 | not only you, your dogs are in the media. |
| 1:00.6 | But is like, do you find, how do you find that pressure? |
| 1:03.1 | Because that's, it's a lot to suddenly just be thrown into that, |
| 1:06.1 | especially if you maybe weren't, you know, planning for that to happen. |
| 1:10.0 | I think this is, this is a thing and this is |
| 1:12.0 | really different certainly between us and reform this is like a byproduct that i didn't expect or |
| 1:19.6 | need whereas he is very clearly on a pathway to fame that he's chosen and said this is just a rung |
| 1:26.4 | on that whereas for me i was like oh my goodness two days after the announcement, someone recognised me in Morrison's, and then it's just like snowballed after that. But I mean, obviously there's a downside to a lot of it in that it's a lot of the abuse, like, yeah, a lot of the lies that's out there. And it's just really unnecessary because I just think we should be able to have politics |
| 1:46.0 | that's just based on holding each other to account for stuff |
| 1:49.2 | without ripping shreds out of my personal life |
