much aware of autism, but we've still got a long way to go. i think in terms of provision both for children and indeed opportunities for adults in employment. and as my child grows into adulthood and like any parent, we ask the question, what's going to happen next? what will happen after we are gone ? all these questions wake gone? all these questions wake you up in the middle of the night. and therefore i thought using those experiences was was really the least i could do as an mp and therefore i chair the all party group on autism and now i'm leading a review for the government into opportunities for employment and increased employment for autistic people because the figures are shockingly low. only two out of ten adults autistic adults, have a job and that really? yes, two out of ten. so we've got to do better than that. what do you week— better than that. what do you new w— better than that. what do you think it should— better than that. what do you think it should be?— better than that. what do you think it should be? it- 3�* what do you think it should be? it should be ten ew— think it should be? it should be ten ewt ef— think it should be? it should be ten out of ten,— think it should be? it should be ten out of ten, shouldn't it? wett— ten out of ten, shouldn't it? weu w— ten out of ten, shouldn't it? weu w mean— ten out of ten, shouldn't it? well i mean, what i'll say is, you— well i mean, what i'll say is, you knew.— well i mean, what i'll say is, you know, neurotypical people, eight— you know, neurotypical people, eight-ten— you know, neurotypical people, eight-ten have- you know, neurotypical people, eight-ten have a- you know, neurotypical people,

but big events like the london marathon. i don't know about you, but i like running and i haven't done a marathon, but i've done a few half marathons. very good. and you need to just focus and concentrate on the road ahead. and i can't think of anything worse than a protester disrupting what is often charitable fundraising . so, you charitable fundraising. so, you know, my plea to them is, look, think again, please, guys. you know , make your point, but don't know, make your point, but don't make it in a way that upsets and disrupts much loved events like the marathon . very good. i want the marathon. very good. i want to the marathon. very good. i want te tatt— the marathon. very good. i want te tett te— the marathon. very good. i want te tett te wen— the marathon. very good. i want to talk to you about— very good. iwant to talk to you about immigration . wen— to talk to you about immigration . wen ttwn— to talk to you about immigration . ian, now firn ,_ to talk to you about immigration . ian, now firn , mostly about . ian, now firn, mostly about wnet-e— . ian, now firn, mostly about what's happening in your constituent— what's happening in your constituent ac.- what's happening in your constituent ac. i believe there twe— constituent ac. i believe there are five refugee— constituent ac. i believe there are five refugee hotels in your swtnten— are five refugee hotels in your swindon constituency. is that nont— swindon constituency. is that went e— swindon constituency. is that went e wt— swindon constituency. is that right 7 it well,— swindon constituency. is that right 7 it well, i— swindon constituency. is that right ? it well, i think that right? it well, i think that swtnten— right? it well, i think that swindon has— right? it well, i think that swindon has a— right? it well, i think that swindon has a proud history of weteentne— swindon has a proud history of welcoming and— swindon has a proud history of welcoming and accepting asylum eeeewet ent— welcoming and accepting asylum seekers, and we— welcoming and accepting asylum seekers, and we have local enenttee— seekers, and we have local charities like— seekers, and we have local charities like the harbour trust tnet— charities like the harbour trust tnet te— charities like the harbour trust tnet te greet— charities like the harbour trust that do great work .

bit, i think it's really important that people don't presume or abuse the hospitality that we have, which is why it was very important to me that the home office gave me an undertaking they wouldn't undertaking that they wouldn't increase hotels in increase the number of hotels in our area and would work our local area and would work very hard to resettle, particularly our afghan guests who want to be able to settle in the uk and who've left real persecution on. and i think locally , if that issue can be locally, if that issue can be dean locally, if that issue can be dealt with, we have two hotels with afghan refugees in them , if with afghan refugees in them, if that can be worked upon. and there's a special government programme to do that announced last i think that would last month, i think that would be welcome. you know, be really welcome. and you know, my has been we've got my plea has been we've got asylum seekers is not able to do anything. some of them are going on the black market and working for half the minimum wage. why aren't we honest about it? and actually get them into into work, registered so we work, get them registered so we know are, where they know who they are, where they are, and, you know, paying a contribution towards their keep. i that's common sense and i think that's common sense and i think that's common sense and i think that's common sense and i think we should be doing much

synchronised way. so if we get more of a sense of that synchronicity next week , i think synchronicity next week, i think that will certainly impress me and others who have expressed concern about this. so you're looking to be convinced before you vote for that for the proposals and you know, i'll be more than happy to engage farage with colleagues on this issue in the days ahead. okay second, jobs mps should— the days ahead. okay second, jobs mps should they- second, jobs mps should they have them? it's jobs mps should they have them? we e— jobs mps should they have them? we e twe— jobs mps should they have them? it's a live debate.— jobs mps should they have them? it's a live debate. you are a pnettetne— it's a live debate. you are a practising barrister as well as being— practising barrister as well as tetne en— practising barrister as well as being an we. — practising barrister as well as being an mp. some people say you cant— being an mp. some people say you cant ewe— being an mp. some people say you cant ewe e— being an mp. some people say you cant give e tutt— being an mp. some people say you can't give a full service to yew— can't give a full service to your constituents because of wet.— your constituents because of tnet. w— your constituents because of that. i totally— your constituents because of that. i totally disagree. �*" that. i totally disagree. if i was a doctor,— that. i totally disagree. if i was a doctor, i— that. i totally disagree. if i was a doctor, i don't- that. i totally disagree. if i was a doctor, i don't think or a nurse or another professional, i don't think anybody would be having this debate. i think it's entirely legitimate for somebody like me who was 20 years as a lawyer before i ever became an mp to want to maintain my qualification . and i think it qualification. and i think it bnngs qualification. and i think it brings a lot more to the table. and i feel that i was able to contribute with much greater authority to debates in parliament because of my

professional experience. and i think that now that i'm no longer a minister, it's actually incumbent upon me to not sort of stay in the westminster bubble in that little comfort zone. but to go outside and to relearn some of those skills and to bnng some of those skills and to bring them back in to parliament. but, you know, the biggest second i had, biggest second job i had, gloria, was being minister and gloria, was being a minister and being cabinet minister, which being a cabinet minister, which was all consuming task. you was an all consuming task. you know, i simply say to people, you know, it's a different type of second job, but it's legitimate . and in fact, it's legitimate. and in fact, it's healthy for politicians to do that rather than just be boring, one dimensional career politicians who have to depend upon the whips for their meal ticket and have nothing else to fall back upon . speaking of fall back upon. speaking of dementia— fall back upon. speaking of tenentte .— fall back upon. speaking of dementia , as— fall back upon. speaking of dementia , as i— fall back upon. speaking of dementia , as i read- t c. it" speaking of dementia , as i read that you dementia, as i read that you newe— dementia, as i read that you newe nenw— dementia, as i read that you have many other— dementia, as i read that you have many other interests , music have many other interests, music is have many other interests, music te e— have many other interests, music te e big— have many other interests, music te a big peeeten— have many other interests, music is a big passion of— have many other interests, music is a big passion of yours. what sen— is a big passion of yours. what eewt et— is a big passion of yours. what eewt et nutte— is a big passion of yours. what sort of music are— is a big passion of yours. what sort of music are you into? ween.— sort of music are you into? teen. wet.— sort of music are you into? yeah, well, jazz— sort of music are you into? yeah, well, jazz is- sort of music are you into? yeah, well, jazz is my- sort of music are you into? yeah, well, jazz is my first love and i love, you know, the great american popular song, the great american popular song, the great standard, the cole porter's and the irving berlin's

when i started as a as a barrister , where you do a range barrister, where you do a range of law, when you start before you, you eventually specialise and i can remember representing people when i did criminal law for 2 or 3 years and you get this remarkable window into other people's lives . you see other people's lives. you see this human drama in the courtroom of how people's lives are, the things that people do do. and you do always think back to your own experiences and you do sometimes have this little part of you , particularly when part of you, particularly when you walked out of court at the end of the day, that thinks, was that actually me? so you lost your that actually me? so you lost weww nun— that actually me? so you lost your mum on new— t t�*wzi;7 so you lost your mum on new year's day in zeta.— your mum on new year's day in zone en— your mum on new year's day in zone en new— your mum on new year's day in 2018. oh how did— your mum on new year's day in 2018. on how did you deal with the 2018. on how did you deal with tne grief— 2018. on how did you deal with tne enet et— 2018. on how did you deal with the grief of losing— 2018. on how did you deal with the grief of losing your mum? it wee-exte— the grief of losing your mum? it was extra ordinarily was an extra ordinarily difficult— was an extra ordinarily difficult period. w: was an extra ordinarily- difficult period. she'd been ill for a couple of years with with cancen for a couple of years with with cancer. so that was a really hard , hard period. obviously

hard, hard period. obviously i represent i'm very lucky to represent i'm very lucky to represent my home constituency in parliament, but it meant me being away as i always am . being away as i always am. dudng being away as i always am. during the weeks monday to wednesday, monday to thursday, depending on the parliamentary business that week. but whenever i could get back to spend time with her to i used to take her, for example, to chemo therapy appointments when she was having that treatment . and i came home that treatment. and i came home from parliament for the christmas recess in 2017. and she was very, very ill by by that point . and that was the that point. and that was the last , the last couple of weeks last, the last couple of weeks of her life. but she although she was very ill, we were still able to talk right up until the very, very final days is what really helped me. oddly enough, though , was actually the though, was actually the parliamentary crisis that was

going on at that time because it was a hung parliament, which meant that every single vote mattered. you couldn't simply have time away from parliament at and my mother died on the new year's day of 2018. on her funeral was on the 15th, which was and the reason i remember is it was precisely two weeks later. but that night there was a series of votes in parliament. i had no option but to be there because some votes were going. there was there were tiny margins . and so although in one margins. and so although in one way, by having been to the funeral that day, having this this churn of emotions all day in some ways it was difficult to get on the train to come back. but in others, because i had to do it , i had but in others, because i had to do it, i had no option but to do it. actually having my time taken up with that intense parliamentary business did actually help because i had no

time to sit to think . i just had time to sit to think. i just had to get on with it. and that, in a curious way, was helpful. yeah, i think a lot of people wetete— yeah, i think a lot of people wetete te— yeah, i think a lot of people relate to that. _ yeah, i think a lot of people relate to that. what's it like to relate to that. what's it like te enetew— relate to that. what's it like to shadow kemi_ relate to that. what's it like to shadow kemi badenoch more twen— to shadow kemi badenoch more twen wtet— to shadow kemi badenoch more from nick thomas—symonds after the from nick thomas—symonds after tne tweet.— from nick thomas—symonds after the break. except— from nick thomas—symonds after the break. except variance tells me the break. except variance tells ne-wnen— the break. except variance tells ne-wnen tnte— the break. except variance tells me when this government me that when this government tente— me that when this government tewte tweete— me that when this government lords trade deals— me that when this government lords trade deals is fantastic, we enewtt— lords trade deals is fantastic, we should always wait a few days and teet— we should always wait a few days and teet et— we should always wait a few days and look at what— we should always wait a few days and look at what they've eetwettw— and look at what they've actually conceded.

ambulance to specialist hospital. wonderful wonderful hospital by the way, noah's ark in cardiff. absolutely remarkable . all care that he had remarkable. all care that he had . but he had an operation on that was a life saving operation. it took place in the early hours of the morning. the hospital had to find a specialist surgeon to do it and to actually get her out of bed. she lived in the north of cardiff to come and do this operation version, and it wasn't a case of having a conversation before the operation of do you give consent and do you understand the risks and all these kind of things when you have ordinarily have an operation? her words have always stuck said . i think stuck with me. she said. i think i can do it . and in fairness to i can do it. and in fairness to her, she did it turned out to be something of turning a corner because it took william out of the life danger that he was in. but there were to be four more major operations. so he had five

operations in the first six months of his life. it was an incredibly difficult period, as you can imagine, because i've got two other children too. my children, florence, my daughters. so we had to find a way of rebecca, my wife, virtually living in the hospital with william , looking after the with william, looking after the two girls at home where i live in abersychan in my constituency, but also trying to represent my constituents in london, relied on our family an awful lot to get through it. but it was it was this extraordinarily intense period that that looking back now, i do wonder how we managed to do it. it sounds really tough. and you talked about the _ e ”w:i:3tlg q and you talked about the difficulty of getttne— talked about the difficulty of eetttne tnet— talked about the difficulty of getting that surge and getting the getting that surge and getting tne eweene— getting that surge and getting the surgeon out— getting that surge and getting the surgeon out of bed. now we are the surgeon out of bed. now we etewt— the surgeon out of bed. now we etewt te— the surgeon out of bed. now we are about to see— the surgeon out of bed. now we are about to see more nurses etntee— are about to see more nurses etntee .— are about to see more nurses etntee . we— are about to see more nurses strikes . we are— are about to see more nurses strikes . we are seeing junior strikes. we are seeing junior teetewe— strikes. we are seeing junior doctors strikes— strikes. we are seeing junior doctors strikes .— strikes. we are seeing junior doctors strikes . if william was doctors strikes. if william was in doctors strikes. if william was tn tnet— doctors strikes. if william was in that position— doctors strikes. if william was in that position ,_ doctors strikes. if william was in that position , you can in that position, you can contemplate— in that position, you can contemplate you would contemplate - contemplate you would contemplate , any parent would contemplate, any parent would eentenntete— contemplate, any parent would contemplate would william have nette—

are. so george eustice, who of course, was in the cabinet, leaves the cabinet and says that the australia deal just isn't up to it. the prime minister , when to it. the prime minister, when he was temporarily out of office , was very one sided. , told us it was very one sided. so experience tells me that when this government lords trade deals is fantastic, we should always wait a few days and look at what they've actually conceded. okay finally, i was reading a speech that you made about the next labour government establishing rules to ensure that trade negotiators have binding responsibilities to help deliver economic opportunities , deliver economic opportunities, as in their trade negotiations throughout the uk. to all our wonderful towns— throughout the uk. to all our wonderful towns and- g to all our wonderful towns and cities ewtette— wonderful towns and cities ewtette et— wonderful towns and cities outside of a— wonderful towns and cities outside of a nation's outside of the south—east— outside of a nation's outside of the south—east of— outside of a nation's outside of the south—east of england . tell the south—east of england. tell me new— the south—east of england. tell me new tnet— the south—east of england. tell me how that would work in nweettee— me how that would work in nweettee. se— me how that would work in practise. so there's two really tneenent— practise. so there's two really important aspects to this . important aspects to this. the wet— important aspects to this. the ttwst ts— important aspects to this. the ttwst tn the— important aspects to this. the first is the duty— important aspects to this. the first is the duty that- important aspects to this. the first is the duty that is on our negotiators , both in the period negotiators, both in the period they're negotiating directly. report back to me as the trade secretary as to the progress they've made and the impact it's

having, but also when you actually get to complete a trade deal actually get to complete a trade deal, i just don't i don't want to see just statistics about gdp for the whole country. i mean, we just mentioned the cptpp , for we just mentioned the cptpp, for example, is the acronym that that it's known by where the government modelling says we'll have 0.08% to our gdp over the next ten years. i don't want to just see a statistic like that. what does that mean for people up and down the country? what doesit up and down the country? what does it mean for their communities? what does it mean for opportunity across the country? and if my trade negotiator has come back to me and they can't give me that information , then there will be information, then there will be changes in the way the negotiation is taking place and we won't be completing deals that don't have that benefit across the country. but secondly r my across the country. but secondly , my plan is to actually create as well what we've called climate export hubs in every nation. and region of the uk . we nation. and region of the uk. we have a wonderfully inaya

inventive people. and you think of the emerging climate technologies , the carbon capture technologies, the carbon capture and storage. so many other things offshore, onshore wind, all these things we can lead the world in that both in what we're doing here, but in exporting that technology to the world. and in recent weeks i was very proud to announce the one that is going to be created in wales alongside lord vaughan gething and i will look to do that for every nation and region of the country . trade can benefit the country. trade can benefit the whole country, but you need a government leading that. nick thomas—symonds we did- g : g nick thomas—symonds we did personal, we ete— thomas—symonds we did personal, we ttt nettttee— thomas—symonds we did personal, we did politics and— thomas—symonds we did personal, we did politics and we did the neweenet— we did politics and we did the personal meets— we did politics and we did the personal meets the political. wnent— personal meets the political. wnent wen— personal meets the political. wnent wen wen— personal meets the political. thank you very much indeed. wnent— thank you very much indeed. wnent wen— thank you very much indeed. wnent wen .— thank you very much indeed. thank you . coming up, thank you. coming up, conservative- thank you. coming up, conservative mp stephen hammond. but conservative mp stephen hammond. nwt w— conservative mp stephen hammond. nut w en— conservative mp stephen hammond. nut w an new— conservative mp stephen hammond. but i am clear that— conservative mp stephen hammond. but i am clear that i— conservative mp stephen hammond. but i am clear that i want to tne— but i am clear that i want to see the government accept some of see the government accept some et tneee— see the government accept some of those amendments next week. ant— of those amendments next week. ant twen— of those amendments next week. ant tten tt— of those amendments next week. ant tten tt w— of those amendments next week. ant tten ttw tt— of those amendments next week. and then if i if i— of those amendments next week. and then if i if i don't— of those amendments next week. and then if i if i don't get- and then if i if i don't get that, i am prepared for the first time for a very long time to vote against the government on those .

running. that running. and it was at that point that thought, actually, point that i thought, actually, this is what i want to do with my for me, it was a my life. so for me, it was a process of evolution, not revolution. okay you've been in the lately. a revolution. okay you've been in the lately . a number of mps the news lately. a number of mps ettweeenet— the news lately. a number of mps were approached by— the news lately. a number of mps were approached by a— a number of mps were approached by a fake south teween— were approached by a fake south teeen eentenw— were approached by a fake south teeen eentenw .— were approached by a fake south korean company , which was part korean company, which was part of korean company, which was part et e— korean company, which was part et e eenteten— korean company, which was part et e eentetgn tw— korean company, which was part of a campaign by led by donkeys you of a campaign by led by donkeys wet wee— of a campaign by led by donkeys you were one of— of a campaign by led by donkeys you were one of them. just tell me— you were one of them. just tell me wnet— you were one of them. just tell me what happened in your own wette— me what happened in your own wewte . — me what happened in your own wewte . wett— me what happened in your own words . well, what— me what happened in your own words. well, what happened was a process that i got an email saying we're an advisory board . saying we're an advisory board. we're looking to set up an advisory board. we're a group of manufacturing companies. we've got a number of interesting clients. i looked at their website, which was there. they'd set up a fake website. they came back to me and said, would i be interested in a preliminary interview ? i think that for interview? i think that for a lot of us who have worked in the commercial world, it's not unusual to get approached by people and have a very preliminary invitation. i made

it clear i wouldn't break it very clear i wouldn't break any parliamentary rules. i made it that i you know, it very clear that i you know, it very clear that i you know, it was up for them to decide what they wanted to pay. i mean, i think the two things i've learnt out of this are one is that i don't really regard these people as journalists. i regard them as scam merchants who, if they've done that to my constituents, i'd to the constituents, i'd be on to the ico to make sure that ico trying to make sure that they shut because they were shut down because actually here was that actually the story here was that we tried to scam someone. they said they're not going break we tried to scam someone. they saidrules.'e not going break we tried to scam someone. they saidrules.they're)ing break we tried to scam someone. they saidrules. they're not break we tried to scam someone. they saidrules. they're not goingwak we tried to scam someone. they saidrules. they're not going to any rules. they're not going to break spirit of any rules. break the spirit of any rules. now legitimate, now it's perfectly legitimate, i think, to say mps shouldn't have second but it's not second jobs, but it's not legitimate data legitimate to break data protection and think protection rules. and i think that story here as that is the real story here as well. do that is the real story here as well . do you that is the real story here as well. do you think mps should be ette— well. do you think mps should be ette te— well. do you think mps should be ette te newe— well. do you think mps should be able to have second— do you think mps should be able to have second jobs? i tntnt— able to have second jobs? i think something we should debate in think something we should debate tn tte— think something we should debate tn tne nneewnt— think something we should debate in the modern world at the eent— in the modern world at the moment we are. e"tiil”tiil moment we are. i think there's a great benefit. i mean, i think the problem is three weeks the problem is that three weeks before this all happened, i actually the actually went to see the commissioner because the commissioner myself because the new rules that chris bryant has introduced really quite introduced are really quite opaque, to opaque, very difficult to understand. wanted understand. so i wanted to

understand. so i wanted to understand rules are understand what the rules are so i wouldn't any. so i'd i wouldn't break any. so i'd actually to see the actually been to see the commissioner think commissioner beforehand. i think that don't you say mps that if you don't if you say mps aren't to second aren't going to have a second job, you're going to really job, you're going to be really tncky labour job, you're going to be really tricky labour party. tricky for the labour party. i don't see anyone can be a don't see how anyone can be a member of a trade union and an mp because you're there to mp because you're only there to advocate members. so advocate for your members. so i think a really tricky area think it's a really tricky area and i think we should have a debate about it. really interesting. one of your colleagues will colleagues who's, as you will know won't name him now, know and i won't name him now, an leftie, to me in the an old leftie, said to me in the lift the monday after that lift on the monday after that thing, he said, i don't hold with having second jobs. he with mps having second jobs. he said, those people did said, but what those people did to some of your to you and some of your colleagues you clearly colleagues who you clearly weren't the rules was weren't breaking the rules was a disgrace. interesting interesting i guess interesting take. i guess what wttt— interesting take. i guess what wttt newe— interesting take. i guess what will have been— interesting take. i guess what will have been surprising to you?— will have been surprising to you? many— will have been surprising to you? many people watching that was you? many people watching that tte— you? many people watching that tne een— you? many people watching that was the sort of— you? many people watching that was the sort of figures that were involved.— was the sort of figures that were involved. you know, people are were involved. you know, people etwueettne— were involved. you know, people etwuegttne et— were involved. you know, people are struggling at the moment. wet— are struggling at the moment. wet knew.— are struggling at the moment. you know, that— are struggling at the moment. you know, that we all know that. ant— you know, that we all know that. ant wnen— you know, that we all know that. ant wnen tet— you know, that we all know that. and when for my— you know, that we all know that. and when for my cabinet ntntetewe— and when for my cabinet ministers are— and when for my cabinet ministers are saying, my day wete— ministers are saying, my day wete te— ministers are saying, my day rate is £10,000— ministers are saying, my day rate is £10,000 a— ministers are saying, my day rate is £10,000 a day, it just seems so such— rate is £10,000 a day, it just seems so such a— rate is £10,000 a day, it just seems so such a million miles

that the government is making adequate provision for under 18 year olds in terms of making sure they're properly looked after. rikki neave wise that they are more vulnerable than others. and so there are a number of amendments that a number of amendments that a number of amendments that a number of things down the government at committee stage, as you know, sought to reassure . and i'm aware that two of my colleagues who were leading on these groups of amendments have been talking to the government fairly heavily. but i think it's really important that we have we maintain our reputation that if you are under threat from persecution because of your religious , political, sexual religious, political, sexual orientation or whatever the uk will offer you a home. now just to briefly explain the parliamentary process , so some parliamentary process, so some mps will try and amend the government's proposals . they may government's proposals. they may not have the numbers— government's proposals. they may not have the numbers ,_ government's proposals. they may not have the numbers , you- e they may not have the numbers , you will not have the numbers, you will tten— not have the numbers, you will ettn tt— not have the numbers, you will ettn n, yet— not have the numbers, you will ettn n, yet wttt— not have the numbers, you will sign it, you will vote for it, tut— sign it, you will vote for it, tut yet— sign it, you will vote for it, tut yet ney— sign it, you will vote for it, but you may not- sign it, you will vote for it, but you may not have the numbers to but you may not have the numbers te tet— but you may not have the numbers te eet tt— but you may not have the numbers te eet tt ttweutt— but you may not have the numbers to get it through. could you see a scenario where— to get it through. could you see a scenario where you you don't wete— a scenario where you you don't wete tet— a scenario where you you don't wete tew tte—

so with sister parties across europe, because it's across the water, it's our biggest ally, it's been our biggest strategic partner in economics and diplomacy alongside the us since the second world war. so it's extraordinary that one wouldn't want to have stronger ties. the first thing i think is that i mean, i'm a big supporter of rishi sunak. i think that what he did with the windsor framework has started to enable us to repair some of the diplomatic relations which are important for getting those strategic . i've been struck by strategic. i've been struck by the number of diplomats i know in london who said to me, that's enabung in london who said to me, that's enabling us to rebuild trust with you as a government. and that's really important. and there will be all sorts of things coming up. so the fact that opens up those that it opens up those opportunities look at how we opportunities to look at how we want future trading want to have future trading opportunities as the world changes biotech , how we changes in tech, biotech, how we want to make sure that some of the tariff barriers are not as as difficult as they could be potentially even looking at some of the labelling systems that

will allow goods to flow more quickly, that happens because you between you have trust between governments. so sunak achievement in the windsor framework is not just that that was good for northern ireland and gb business. it actually has opened up the world again for uk . i don't know if you can give me— . i don't know if you can give me e yet— . i don't know if you can give i don't know if you can give me a yes or no answer on this, tut— me a yes or no answer on this, tut te— me a yes or no answer on this, tut te yet— me a yes or no answer on this, but do you think— me a yes or no answer on this, but do you think we'll ever wetetn— but do you think we'll ever weretn tte— but do you think we'll ever rejoin the european union? i'm not interested _ rejoin the european union? i'm not interested .that. - rejoin the european union? i'm not interested .that. i've- not interested in that. i've i've too many scars from the i've got too many scars from the past battle. me too. you and i together. and but lot of together. and but a lot of colleagues on both sides. yeah, it's not political it's for not my political generation. what generation. who's to say what the political generation the next political generation will do. but at the moment, we should creating should be interested in creating closer relationships, better economic ties with them, and the whole world. but we whole of the world. but we shouldn't. a shouldn't. we shouldn't have a europe whole in our global britain. you have been campaigning for the rights of summer born children so they can have a choice about which school year they go into. you've made a lot year they go into. you've made a tet et— year they go into. you've made a tet et tweeweee— year they go into. you've made a lot of progress on— year they go into. you've made a lot of progress on that. - git you've made a lot of progress on that. not 100,— lot of progress on that. not too. tut— lot of progress on that. not 100, but you've— lot of progress on that. not 100, but you've certainly made big 100, but you've certainly made to newest— 100, but you've certainly made to twetweee tn— 100, but you've certainly made big progress in that. where's wnewe— big progress in that. where's wnewe next— big progress in that. where's where next for— big progress in that. where's where next for that campaign? wnet-e— where next for that campaign? wnet-e etttt— where next for that campaign? what's still left— where next for that campaign? what's still left to do on that ? — what's still left to do on that e tte— what's still left to do on that ? the reason—

what's still left to do on that ? the reason why- what's still left to do on that ? the reason why i'm- what's still left to do on that ? the reason why i'm sparked that you asked earlier why that you asked me earlier why i'm conservative. one of them i'm a conservative. one of them is i believe in creating opportunity aspiration opportunity and aspiration for everybody. clear everybody. and it was very clear to me that the life chances of children, not children, potential arnie not everybody, every child, everybody, but not every child, but a number of children in but a number of children born in the months before the three months before september, the change september, which is the change of date, were going be of school date, were going to be their opportunities their education opportunities and slowed and educational chances slowed down if some of them needed a chance to mature that first chance to mature into that first yean chance to mature into that first year, that some of them needed to with that cohort to stay with that cohort through. some of them, when through. and some of them, when they school. they got to secondary school. we've progress . the we've made huge progress. the government has now issued government twice has now issued directive vast majority of directive. the vast majority of local authorities are accepting that. local authorities are accepting that . i've local authorities are accepting that. i've had a long chat with the new minister for last year and we talked about the need potentially for legislation on. at the moment i am encouraged that directive is working , but i that directive is working, but i am concerned that that as children move from primary to secondary sector, there are still some authorities that then choose to try and put people up in straight into year eight rather than year seven. and so
