the press conference with the prime minister when he was locked up at ex— checkers, and he called the political editor of the sirens wail. —— the sun newspaper. this is what is said to harry cole. the final point about fiscal measures which i think may be a brittiantty— measures which i think may be a brilliantly veiled question on the long—awaited plans to deal with the — the long—awaited plans to deal with the problem, how to cover all of— with the problem, how to cover all of that, _ with the problem, how to cover all of that, and healthcare as wett~ — all of that, and healthcare as wett~ all_ all of that, and healthcare as wett~ all i _ all of that, and healthcare as well. all i can say harry, we have — well. all i can say harry, we have treen— well. all i can say harry, we have been waiting for three decades— have been waiting for three decades and you will have to wait — decades and you will have to wait longer. the - wait longer. the significant thing is, he was asked, will you stick to your manifesto commitment? i did not hear him say yes, which is... no, he didn't. you care

passionately about this issue... i- issue... i do. i think along with climate _ i do. i think along with climate change, this is the challenge about our generation. the government has got itself into a — the government has got itself into a complete mess here. first — into a complete mess here. first of— into a complete mess here. first of all, we heard they would _ first of all, we heard they would be a levy for social care _ would be a levy for social care. then that was going to be used _ care. then that was going to be used to— care. then that was going to be used to pay for the nhs backlog, then social collector. today — backlog, then social collector. today we _ backlog, then social collector. today we heard, it may be for the nhs — today we heard, it may be for the nhs pay rise. when you look at national— the nhs pay rise. when you look at national insurance contributions, sajid javid is treating _ contributions, sajid javid is treating saying, absolutely categorically, no increase in income _ categorically, no increase in income tax. if categorically, no increase in income tax.— categorically, no increase in income tax. if the government comes back — income tax. if the government comes back in _ income tax. if the government comes back in september, i income tax. if the government comes back in september, for| comes back in september, for example, and says, what they were almost going to say today — we're going to put up national insurance by 1p, pennies, £1, to pay for social care, would labour support

breaking the tax promise to pay for social care? yes, it will be embarrassing and voters will be, understandably, angry. i don't think national insurance is the best tax to look at for the reason she articulated, but i would hope that labour would realise that social care needs more money, and given our fiscal position, this will men at tax rise. that is what needs to happen in order to solve the problem. that'll be very interesting to watch and see. there are some tory knows about putting the tax up without making the case for it before. plenty of people around westminster went, plenty of people around westminsterwent, hang plenty of people around westminster went, hang on, we have got to do this in a way thatis have got to do this in a way that is properly thought through. not that they haven't been thinking through the policy for months and months, and years, and years, and ever,

describe his character with facts and truths? are you comfortable? i facts and truths? are ou comfortable? ., are you comfortable? i would sa that are you comfortable? i would say that nearly _ are you comfortable? i would say that nearly all _ are you comfortable? i would say that nearly all prime i say that nearly all prime ministers that i have listened to and parliament question time have said things that aren't true. theresa may absolutely said things that aren't true. yes, she has used false statistics. deliberately? no, not deliberately. that is my point. sometimes, when politicians say something, it is not like they set out to deceive the journalists or the public, they have mis— remembered a statistic or misapplied it. what i would take with the current prime minister, what i would advise on is that when that happens, you should be honest about it and admitted. patrick ballance got a balance wrong. spectacularly wrong! he tweeted straightaway afterwards that he got it wrong. i think we have a culture in our politics where people are so scared to admit a

u—turn, mistake, and error that they try and pretend things aren't black—and—white. the public do not like it. an interesting discussion i had with teresa when i worked for her in the campaign when she had said nothing had changed, but she had changed everything in social care. i know why that happened. you are trained to not admit to u—turns as politicians, but maybe it would have been better if she could have been better if she could have told the public, if i get something wrong i will put it right. it is not that sometimes people get things wrong, it is that then politicians pretend everything they said was... i have to say, better is something that i imitate when things go wrong — nothing has

changed! some people don't recognise it. we don't have any conventions in this podcast — would you like to call boris johnson allow? you won't get slapped on the wrist — you won't get slapped on the wrist i— you won't get slapped on the wrist. i think he has said wrist. ! think he has said things— wrist. i think he has said things that are completely untrue, _ things that are completely untrue, and he probably knew it at the _ untrue, and he probably knew it at the time. honestly, i think it is_ at the time. honestly, i think it is one _ at the time. honestly, i think it is one of— at the time. honestly, i think it is one of the things in the end — it is one of the things in the end that'll be his undoing, that— end that'll be his undoing, that dishonesty. you _ that dishonesty. you didn't call him a liar. you know, you didn't call him a liar. you know. the — you didn't call him a liar. you know, the british _ you didn't call him a liar. you know, the british people are pretty— know, the british people are pretty savvy in the end. they -et pretty savvy in the end. they get a — pretty savvy in the end. they get a measure of a person. on some _ get a measure of a person. on some big — get a measure of a person. on some big issues, that shows a lack— some big issues, that shows a lack of— some big issues, that shows a lack of substance. you probably talked _ lack of substance. you probably talked about it last week. his speech— talked about it last week. his speech or lack of a speech, levelling _ speech or lack of a speech, levelling up. in the end, i think— levelling up. in the end, i think that dishonesty, that arrogance that you can say whatever you want and nothing
