Note on record

Transcript from the video's captions, fetched on 2026-10-07; not an official record. Captions do not say who is speaking: Polifiles assigned each turn by reading the captions, without checking the audio. LBC's upload of the whole of Tonight with Andrew Marr (62 minutes), of which only the one-to-one interview, live from 6:45 pm, is kept: about 14 minutes, billed as his first interview since the Makerfield by-election. Left out: the rest of the show (news bulletins, Sir Howard Davies and Ruth Curtis on the economy, a court case, street harassment fines, a health item, a political panel), in which he does not take part, and Andrew Marr's closing thanks. The upload starts the interview in the middle of the first question ("a real fortnight"), so its opening words are missing. He was then MP for Makerfield and, in his words, "still in a contest" for the Labour leadership; Andrew Marr calls him "the MP for Makerfield and Prime Minister in waiting". The presenter is named in the video title and the show's opening (captioned "Andrew Mah"), and he addresses him as "Andrew". Turns assigned by meaning rather than the '>>' marks, which are often missing at a change of speaker. Doubtful: in the first exchange the captions run question and answer together; "I think that's what the public want" to "find common ground with other parties where we can" is given to him, and the follow-up "I've been really excited by the Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats or whoever on the brewing gangs thing. for instance" (probably mis-captioned: "work with") to Andrew Marr; so are "It's just the way it would be always in the in the in the past", "This is this is your message, the", "You've got it there" and "In all honesty"; "a massive change" in the welfare answer and a "Yeah" before the defence question are given to him. Trimmed: starts at "a real fortnight."; ends at "dreaming of it coming home.".
