2:07 am
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 think— better than that. what do you hhhh h— 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 eph— think it should be? it should be ten out eh— 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? weh— ten out of ten, shouldn't it? weh .— ten out of ten, shouldn't it? weh h heap.— 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-hep— you know, neurotypical people, eight-ten have- you know, neurotypical people, eight-ten have a- you know, neurotypical people, eight ten have a job, eight out of ten have a job, a disability.— eight out of ten have a job, a disability, generally five out of hen. — disability, generally five out of hen. ahe— disability, generally five out of ten. and here- disability, generally five out of ten.

2:08 am
retention as well in jobs. and that's the work i'm going to be doing with the dwp and with autistic. one of our leading research charities is over the next few months. what do you think the primary prejudices are from employers? i think there's awry— from employers? i think there's ewehy thet— from employers? i think there's a worry that somehow- , i think there's a worry that somehow there's a risk— a worry that somehow there's a heh empheyhhp— a worry that somehow there's a risk employing autistic people, that— risk employing autistic people, that there— risk employing autistic people, that there will— risk employing autistic people, that there will be a problem in herme— that there will be a problem in terms eh— that there will be a problem in terms of attendance or reliability— terms of attendance or reliability. - terms of attendance or reliability . \htijt�*ht" terms of attendance or reliability. kii “g terms of attendance or- reliability . now, nothing could reliability. now, nothing could be further from the truth. companies that are employing autistic people are reporting huge benefits from different ways of thinking, different ways of working , and a real a true, of working, and a real a true, diverse motty when it comes to the talents that autistic people have. and i want to spread that best practise. i want it to be shared and become universal. so that we can deal with what is a problem of so—called economic inactivity . motty for hundreds inactivity. motty for hundreds of thousands of people in our country and that's the aim of this review and final question on this. when do you hope the wit— on this. when do you hope the review will be _ i“ when do you hope the review will be completed by? weil— review will be completed by? heh. .— review will be completed by? heh. h hep-h— review will be completed by? well, i don't want to mess about i well, i don't want to mess about h wept— well, i don't want to mess about h wept he— well, i don't want to mess about h wept he get— well, i don't want to mess about h wehh he peh eh— well, i don't want to mess about i want to get on with this this

2:10 am
a right to express their view, don't really have the right to disrupt the lives of the rest of us.thank disrupt the lives of the rest of us. thank you very much. and that's why i think the legislation , laws we've legislation, the laws that we've passed strike that balance. you know, a responsible protest group talk to the police group will talk to the police and say, look , we want to make and say, look, we want to make this demonstration . how can it this demonstration. how can it work best for everybody ? and work best for everybody? and then the police will, of course , take into account the right to free speech erg and accommodate and seek to help groups that want make legitimate protests want to make legitimate protests . think is . but what i think is unacceptable and i think unacceptable and i think unacceptable to vast unacceptable to the vast majority people majority of the british people is this sudden light strike without any warning , disrupting without any warning, disrupting not just everyday lives and going about our lawful business, 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

'“i gi that do great work. and i've got to that do great work. and i've got he saw.— that do great work. and i've got to say, the local council is good to do. but, you know, whilst we're prepared to do our 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 that they wouldn't increase in increase the number of hotels in our and would work our local area and would work very hard to resettle, particularly our afghan guests
2:12 am
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 think that would last month, i think that would be really welcome. know, be really welcome. and you know, my plea 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 more of that. the government have—ea- more of that. the government haee— eawl more of that. the government. haee— say hey have announced plans or say they are soon to announce plans to heape— are soon to announce plans to hewee wew— are soon to announce plans to house new arriving migrants on perhaps— house new arriving migrants on peahape hhhhhaw— house new arriving migrants on perhaps military bases or aheweea— perhaps military bases or disused ferries. what i'm not ahea— disused ferries. what i'm not cheap ahewh— disused ferries. what i'm not clear about is— disused ferries. what i'm not clear about is whether the peweahhehh— clear about is whether the government plan to stop using

'“i a daily basis. and i think when i was a barrister in particular, 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 wew hhh— that actually me? so you lost your mum on new— t i“hi;7 so you lost your mum on new year's day in hhhe.— your mum on new year's day in hhhe. oh— your mum on new year's day in hhhe. oh hew— 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

2:26 am
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
2:27 am
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 tehahe— yeah, i think a lot of people tehahe he— 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 he ehahew— relate to that. what's it like to shadow kemi_ relate to that. what's it like to shadow kemi badenoch more heh— to shadow kemi badenoch more heh wheh— to shadow kemi badenoch more from nick thomas—symonds after the from nick thomas—symonds after hhe haeah— from nick thomas—symonds after the break. except— from nick thomas—symonds after the break. except variance tells me the break. except variance tells the—hhhe— the break. except variance tells me this government me that when this government tethe— me that when this government hethe htahe— me that when this government lords trade deals— me that when this government lords trade deals is fantastic, we-ahwawe— lords trade deals is fantastic, we - always wait - lords trade deals is fantastic, we-always wait a- lords trade deals is fantastic, we always wait a few days we should always wait a few days and we should always wait a few days ahh heeh— we should always wait a few days ahh heeh ah— we should always wait a few days and look at what— we should always wait a few days and look at what they've aehwahhw— and look at what they've actually conceded.

by hello there. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office. i'm jonathan vautrey after a mixed setup throughout the weekend. we are going to retain that theme at least into the start of the new working week as well. low pressure is still going be us into still going to be with us into monday, it's slowly monday, even though it's slowly drifting off to the drifting its way off to the east. allowing, though, east. it is allowing, though, a feed northerly to air push feed of northerly to air push its way in. so temperatures are going be falling down for going to be falling down for pretty all of that will pretty much all of us. that will allow snow to fall over the grampians and higher ground of scotland throughout saturday night's lower as night's sleep to lower levels as well. further rain for northern ireland, but generally across england wales the showers england and wales the showers will off a more, will fade off a bit more, allowing clearer intervals allowing some clearer intervals to a patchy frost is
2:32 am
to develop and a patchy frost is possible, across possible, particularly across some areas of scotland . some central areas of scotland. the rain from northern ireland will shift its into wales will shift its way into wales and england as we head and southwest england as we head throughout morning and throughout monday morning and then cloud will build into then the cloud will build into central and southern of central and southern areas of england into the england later on into the afternoon. clearer , sunnier afternoon. some clearer, sunnier intervals for the northern half of the uk, but still with a scattering of showers, particularly the and particularly in the north and the they could still the east, where they could still be it is going to be be wintry, it is going to be quite blustery across northern and throughout and eastern coasts throughout monday and feeling really quite chilly are exposed to monday and feeling really quite chillcold, are exposed to monday and feeling really quite chillcold, event exposed to monday and feeling really quite chillcold, even underneath the that cold, even underneath the persistent cloud further south as well. this rain then pushing its way through for monday evening. so a damp end to the day, particularly across parts of sussex and kent, but eventually clearing way off. eventually clearing its way off. and a number of clear intervals will develop into monday night. that, is going to allow that, though, is going to allow temperatures really plummet . temperatures to really plummet. and expecting a much more and we are expecting a much more widespread frost to develop and really quite a cold start to tuesday morning. it does, though, mean that there'll be a good amount sunshine start good amount of sunshine to start off day that helps
2:33 am
off the day and once that helps heat things up a bit more, it will a relatively more will be a relatively more pleasant particularly pleasant day, particularly compared a good compared to monday with a good amount sunny intervals. for amount of sunny intervals. for many, winds easing in many, the winds easing down in the well, but still the east as well, but still a scattering of showers to contend with . outbreaks rain look with. the outbreaks of rain look to return as we move towards the middle of the week, but middle part of the week, but temperatures will be on the temperatures will also be on the rise by . by temperatures will also be on the rise by. by you are a dad of three children in 2016, your wife gave birth to william at seven weeks old. he was rushed to seven weeks old. he was rushed he heephhah— seven weeks old. he was rushed to hospital with— seven weeks old. he was rushed to hospital with chronic- “ iti he was rushed to hospital with chronic renal hahhwe— to hospital with chronic renal hahhwe ae— to hospital with chronic renal failure as he— to hospital with chronic renal failure as he was— to hospital with chronic renal failure as he was born with just hhhhew. — failure as he was born with just one kidney. did— failure as he was born with just one kidney. did you ever fear you— one kidney. did you ever fear wew weath— one kidney. did you ever fear you would lose— one kidney. did you ever fear you would lose william we did have— you would lose william we did have we— you would lose william we did have we hhh— you would lose william we did have we did have— you would lose william we did have we did have that that fear ahh— have we did have that that fear ahh hhah— have we did have that that fear and that that— have we did have that that fear and that that period . kiti and that that period. now, when i and that that period. now, when h heeh— and that that period. now, when h heeh haeh— and that that period. now, when i look back at it, i just wonder and marvel at how my wife
2:34 am
rebecca and myself ever , ever rebecca and myself ever, ever got through it. and there's part of it now that just doesn't seem very real. when i look back . but very real. when i look back. but when he was taken ill initially , he originally went to a local hospital. i was in london. i remember waking up early morning in london in i had i think it was about 27 missed calls from from my wife. so i saw it, panicked immediately, jumped on the train, went straight back to south wales . he was taken by south wales. he was taken by ambulance to specialist hosphal 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.
2:35 am
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 an have ordinarily have an operation? her words have always stuck with she 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
2:36 am
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 ”ti;3i.g q and you talked about the difficulty of aehhe— talked about the difficulty of aehhe hhah— talked about the difficulty of getting that surge and getting the getting that surge and getting hhe eweehh— 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 aheh— the surgeon out of bed. now we ahewh he— the surgeon out of bed. now we are about to see— the surgeon out of bed. now we are about to see more nurses ehthhee— are about to see more nurses ehthhee .— are about to see more nurses ehthhee . 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 heehete— 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 hh hhah— 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 eehhehphahe— contemplate, any parent would contemplate would william have ehahe— contemplate would william have hahe hh— contemplate would william have hahe hh hh— contemplate would william have made it if there— contemplate would william have made it if there had have been ehthhee— made it if there had have been strikes during— made it if there had have been strikes during that moment, ptewhheh— strikes during that moment, provided there— strikes during that moment, provided there are the derogations- provided there are the derogations in place and this hhhe— derogations in place and this hhhe he— derogations in place and this hhhe he whw— derogations in place and this this is why it's— derogations in place and this this is why it's so, so important. - this is why it's so, so important.

2:39 am
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 ewhehhe— wonderful towns and cities ewhehhe eh— 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 hew— the south—east of england. tell me hew hhah— the south—east of england. tell me how that would work in ptaehhee— me how that would work in ptaehhee. se— me how that would work in practise. so there's two really hmpethahh— practise. so there's two really important aspects to this . important aspects to this. the haeh— important aspects to this. the fish he— important aspects to this. the fish he he— 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
2:40 am
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 across the 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
2:41 am
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 hhh— thomas—symonds we did personal, we hhh pehhhhee— thomas—symonds we did personal, we did politics and— thomas—symonds we did personal, we did politics and we did the peteehah— we did politics and we did the personal meets— we did politics and we did the personal meets the political. hhahh— personal meets the political. hhahh wea— personal meets the political. hhahh wew hew— personal meets the political. thank you very much indeed. hhahh— thank you very much indeed. hhahh wea— thank you very much indeed. hhahh wew .— 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. hhh h— conservative mp stephen hammond. hhh h am— conservative mp stephen hammond. hhh h am heat— 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 hhe— but i am clear that i want to see the government accept some of see the government accept some eh hheee— see the government accept some of those amendments next week. hhh— of those amendments next week. hhh aheh— of those amendments next week. hhh hheh hh— of those amendments next week. hhh hheh h h— of those amendments next week. hhh hheh h h h— 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 . on those. - . conservative mp eh hheee. — i conservative mp for on those. conservative mp for wimbledon. since - conservative mp for wimbledon. shhee zoos.— . conservative mp for wimbledon. since 2005, stephen— conservative mp for wimbledon. since 2005, stephen hammond , since 2005, stephen hammond, hteah— since 2005, stephen hammond, area he— since 2005, stephen hammond, eteah he ehah— since 2005, stephen hammond, great to chat to _ since 2005, stephen hammond, great to chat to you today . tell great to chat to you today. tell me— great to chat to you today. tell me when— great to chat to you today. tell me when wea— great to chat to you today. tell me when you first— great to chat to you today. tell me when you first knew you were a eeheewahhwe— me when you first knew you were a conservative kyiv_ me when you first knew you were a conservative kyiv i— me when you first knew you were a conservative kyiv i guess hhhe— a conservative kyiv i guess hhhe eahw— a conservative kyiv i guess hhhe eahw eh— a conservative kyiv i guess quite early on in many ways, but i quite early on in many ways, but h hhhh-h— quite early on in many ways, but h hhhh-h teahhw— quite early on in many ways, but i didn't really do— quite early on in many ways, but i didn't really do very much

you of a campaign by led by donkeys hew 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 whah— you were one of them. just tell me what happened in your own wethe— me what happened in your own wethe . — me what happened in your own wethe . whhh.— 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 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 on to the constituents, i'd be on to the ico to make sure that ico trying to make sure that they shut because
2:44 am
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 goingtak we tried to scam someone. they saidrules. they're not going to any rules. they're not going to break of any rules. break the spirit of any rules. now perfectly legitimate, now it's perfectly legitimate, i think, to say shouldn't have think, to say mps shouldn't have second but it's not second jobs, but it's not legitimate break legitimate to break data protection and i think protection rules. and i think that the real 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 ahhe— well. do you think mps should be ahhe he— well. do you think mps should be ahhe he have— well. do you think mps should be able to have second— do you think mps should be able to have second jobs? i hhhhh— able to have second jobs? i think something we should debate in think something we should debate hh hhe— think something we should debate hh hhe meethh— think something we should debate in the modern world at the memeh— in the modern world at the moment we are. e"hiil”hiil moment we are. i think there's a great benefit. i mean, i think moment we are. i think there's a grerproblem:. i mean, i think moment we are. i think there's a grerproblem is mean, i think moment we are. i think there's a grerproblem is thatin, i think moment we are. i think there's a grerproblem is that threeiink moment we are. i think there's a grerproblem is that three weeks the problem is that three weeks before this all happened, i actually see 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 i think actually been to see the comiif ssioner i think actually been to see the comiif you �*ier i think actually been to see the comiif you don't i think actually been to see the comiif you don't if i think actually been to see the comiif you don't if you i think actually been to see the comiif you don't if you sayi think actually been to see the comiif you don't if you say mpsk that if you don't if you say mps aren't going to have second aren't going to have a second job, to be really job, you're going to be really tncky job, you're going to be really tricky for the labour party. i don't 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 it's a really tricky area and i think we should have a debate about it. really interesting. one your
2:45 am
interesting. one of your colleagues as you will colleagues who's, as you will know won't now, know and i won't name him now, an leftie, to me in the an old leftie, said to me in the lift on the monday after that thing, he said, i don't hold with having second jobs. he thing, he said, i don't hold with but having second jobs. he thing, he said, i don't hold with but whatig second jobs. he thing, he said, i don't hold with but what those)nd jobs. he thing, he said, i don't hold with but what those people ;. he thing, he said, i don't hold with but what those people did; said, but what those people did to you and of your to you and some of your colleagues who you clearly weren't the rules was weren't breaking the rules was a disgrace. interesting interesting guess disgrace. interesting - interesting - guess what interesting take. i guess what whhh— interesting take. i guess what whhh have— interesting take. i guess what will have surprising to will have been surprising to hem— will have been surprising to you? many— will have been surprising to you? many people watching that was you? many people watching that hhe— you? many people watching that hhe eeh— 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 ehtweehhhe— were involved. you know, people ehtweghhhe ah— were involved. you know, people are struggling at the moment. heh— are struggling at the moment. hew mew.— are struggling at the moment. you know, that— are struggling at the moment. you know, that we all know that. hhh— you know, that we all know that. hhh wheh— you know, that we all know that. hhh wheh het— you know, that we all know that. and when for my— you know, that we all know that. and when for my cabinet mhhhehete— and when for my cabinet ministers are— and when for my cabinet ministers are saying, my day aahe— ministers are saying, my day tahe he— 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 away— seems so such a million miles away hem— seems so such a million miles away hem hhhe— seems so such a million miles away from this planet . h/ti;.3“ away from this planet. yeah, i ahee. — away from this planet. yeah, i areeh. whheh— away from this planet. yeah, i agree. which is— away from this planet. yeah, i agree. which is why i was very clear that i didn't ask for a particular sum of money. it was up to them to do that. and i think several people have remarked to me that that was a big difference. i absolutely agree a huge , you agree that it looks a huge, you know, and that's why we should have that discussion . i also have that discussion. i also think it's really you know, i know i've made mistakes in
2:46 am
politics. we all make mistakes . politics. we all make mistakes. and i i'm sure i've made enough. but i've always tried to do things honestly and to act for the best of my, you know, and i suppose i took it very hard that my reputation had been completely traduced for having done okay okay. done nothing wrong. okay okay. now you are on the : “h; g okay. now you are on the moderate wing of now you are on the moderate wing er hhe— now you are on the moderate wing er hhe herhee— now you are on the moderate wing of the tories. you— now you are on the moderate wing of the tories. you talked about hearhhh— of the tories. you talked about hearhhe hem — of the tories. you talked about hearing from ken— of the tories. you talked about hearing from ken clarke, i'm sure is a hero— hearing from ken clarke, i'm sure is a hero of— hearing from ken clarke, i'm sure is a hero of yours. the hmmhhrahheh— sure is a hero of yours. the immigration bill. it's back in parhhamehh— immigration bill. it's back in parliament next— immigration bill. it's back in parliament next week. illegal hmmherahheh— parliament next week. illegal immigration bill. now, you have prewhewehw— immigration bill. now, you have prewhewehw eahh— immigration bill. now, you have previously said that you want assurances 0n— previously said that you want assurances on that there will be amehhmehhe— assurances on that there will be amehhmehhe e— assurances on that there will be amendments s that are put down by eeme— amendments s that are put down by er— amendments s that are put down by er year— amendments s that are put down by some of your colleagues who are anxious about— by some of your colleagues who are anxious about what suella braverman wants— are anxious about what suella braverman wants to introduce hhhe. — braverman wants to introduce hhhe. whar— braverman wants to introduce hhhe. whah he— braverman wants to introduce this. what do you think you'll do this. what do you think you'll he heeh— this. what do you think you'll do next week?— this. what do you think you'll do next week? what are you heehhhh— do next week? what are you heehhhg rere— do next week? what are you looking for? what assurances do you—i— looking for? what assurances do yew—h hhhhh- looking for? what assurances do yew—h hhhhh h- looking for? what assurances do you—i think i don't. you need? well, i think i don't hhhhh— you need? well, i think i don't think there's— you need? well, i think i don't think there's who's think there's anyone who's rearw— think there's anyone who's really against— think there's anyone who's really against the principle of ehepphhg— really against the principle of stopping illegal— really against the principle of stopping illegal immigration. the stopping illegal immigration. hhe heephhah— stopping illegal immigration. the question is,— stopping illegal immigration. the question is, you- stopping illegal immigration. is there is illegal immigration. there's economic migrants and there's asylum . and i want to be there's asylum. and i want to be able to be reassured. and there
2:47 am
are a number of amendments going down, a number of which i will i will back about. first of all, on the whole asylum issue, which is ensuring that there are safe and legal routes for people to get here. recogn rising also that we probably should row back from what the government has said about modern slavery, not rules, not being applied here because there were some people who will be trafficked illegally . me who will be subject to modern slavery, what we would call modern slavery, if they'd been coming in another way. so i want to see some discretion there. i also want to see ensure 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
2:48 am
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- t they may not have the numbers , you will not have the numbers, you will ehah— not have the numbers, you will ehhh hr.— not have the numbers, you will eheh hh. yew— not have the numbers, you will eheh hh. yew whhh— not have the numbers, you will sign it, you will vote for it, hhh— sign it, you will vote for it, hhh yew— sign it, you will vote for it, hhh yew may— 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 he heh— but you may not have the numbers he heh hh— but you may not have the numbers he heh hh hhreweh— 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 were— a scenario where you you don't were her— a scenario where you you don't were her hhe— a scenario where you you don't vote for the proposals in their ephem— vote for the proposals in their current form?— vote for the proposals in their current form? .the- vote for the proposals in their current form? the amendments current form? if the amendments ahehh— current form? if the amendments ahehh-hhhee— current form? if the amendments along-lines that— current form? if the amendments along lines that you suggest along the lines that you suggest are-parh— along the lines that you suggest are-path er— along the lines that you suggest are-path er hhe— along the lines that you suggest are part of the proposals , are not part of the proposals, we ehewhh— are not part of the proposals, we should explain the parliamentary process better heeahee— parliamentary process better heeaheelheh— parliamentary process better becausellot of— parliamentary process better becausellot of it- parliamentary process better because lot of it is because a lot of it is negotiation - because a lot of it is negotiation .

2:49 am
prepared for the first time for a very long time to vote against the government on those. thank you for being so clear— the government on those. thank you for being so clear on- 3 “hi?“ thank you for being so clear on that. her— you for being so clear on that. heh-rah— you for being so clear on that. you .fall-with- you for being so clear on that. you .fall-with your- you for being so clear on that. you fall with your party you did fall out with your party prehe— you did fall out with your party over brexit, but— you did fall out with your party over brexit, but you are pre—hwrepe— over brexit, but you are pre—hwrepe .- over brexit, but you are pro—europe . mean you are . you pro—europe. mean you are. you eewe— pro—europe. mean you are. you eerwe ae— pro—europe. mean you are. you eerwe ae hhe— pro—europe. mean you are. you serve as the deputy chair of the ceheerwahhwe— serve as the deputy chair of the conservative european forum , conservative european forum, whheh— conservative european forum, which advocates— conservative european forum, which advocates closer relationship— which advocates closer relationship with europe. what in relationship with europe. what hh year— relationship with europe. what he year wew— relationship with europe. what in your view, should britain be hehhh— in your view, should britain be hehhh hhah— in your view, should britain be doing hhah hh— in your view, should britain be doing that it isn't— in your view, should britain be doing that it isn't doing at the memeh— doing that it isn't doing at the memeh e — doing that it isn't doing at the moment ? well,— doing that it isn't doing at the moment ? ethic. doing that it isn't doing at the moment ? will �*" “g doing that it isn't doing at the moment ? �*" “g moment? well, the first thing is that the european forum is a group that wants to strengthen our relationships both at a national level, but obviously, as you say, the conservatives. 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
2:50 am
