| 0:00.0 | say it this is lbc from global leading britain's conversation with james o'brien good morning |
| 0:12.2 | it's four minutes after ten and you are indeed listening to lbc my name is james o'brien and today |
| 0:17.6 | i'd like you to talk to me about Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit. |
| 0:25.5 | Specifically, what do you think the party will do? What do you think the party should do? |
| 0:28.2 | And what would you like, personally, the party to do? |
| 0:33.0 | It is, I think, fairly compelling evidence that the... Let's be a little bit fairer than usual, perhaps. |
| 0:37.2 | Some of the claims from Corbyn and John McDonald, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, is it's all about what the membership wants. |
