But it is important that when Andy walks through that door, that he has a work through plan because governing is hard in Britain and lots of, lots of challenges and shocks will come his way.

And what is really important is that

him and his team are really clear about what they want to achieve.

As those shocks come along, he needs to stay laser focused on those things that have always motivated him, have always driven him, and are the reason why he wants to lead our great country.

I kept saying during the general election campaign, and since I've become Chancellor, you have to build growth and change on that rock of stability and trust that I've managed to return to our economy.

But people are impatient for change.

I'm impatient for change.

And I totally get that people want to see their lives changed faster.

And that will be the job for Andy Burnham when he becomes a prime minister of our country in just over a week's time.

But he's becoming prime minister because of the majority that we secured.

And I also know because of the work that I have done

Andy will take over an economy that is much stronger than the one that I inherited from the Conservatives just two years ago.

Well, I would say don't cry on national television.

That was probably my toughest moment, or perhaps even tougher seeing the photos of me crying on national television on the front page of pretty much every newspaper the following day.

But even that day was better than the 14 years in opposition when I was powerless to change anything in this country.

And we all have tough days.

You know, I talked to my friends and people wrote to me saying, you know, that happened to me once.

And the only difference is I was on the telly.

So, you know, people have difficult days at work.

But yeah, that's where you should cry.
