9:35 am
involved is best to leave it alone. yeah and also, i suppose wttt— alone. yeah and also, i suppose wttt twe— alone. yeah and also, i suppose with the crime— alone. yeah and also, i suppose with the crime rate— alone. yeah and also, i suppose with the crime rate not- “43?" and also, i suppose with the crime rate not exactly tttttng— with the crime rate not exactly looking particularly clever, petite— looking particularly clever, people might— looking particularly clever, people might want them to ttwesttgtte — people might want them to investigate their burglaries and mottte— investigate their burglaries and mottte phone— investigate their burglaries and mobile phone muggings rather than— mobile phone muggings rather than thw— mobile phone muggings rather than this. let's— mobile phone muggings rather than this. let's look at leak two— than this. let's look at leak two ot— than this. let's look at leak two ot the— than this. let's look at leak two of the day,— than this. let's look at leak two of the day, as we're calling it two of the day, as we're calling tt|totogtoot— two of the day, as we're calling it telegraph splash. of it, telegraph splash. lots of toots— it, telegraph splash. lots of tooto .— it, telegraph splash. lots of leaks . there's— it, telegraph splash. lots of leaks . there's leaks all over. leaks. there's leaks all over. i tott— leaks. there's leaks all over. i tott wow— leaks. there's leaks all over. i tott you what,— leaks. there's leaks all over. i tell you what, it's— leaks. there's leaks all over. i tell you what, it's like saint oowt-o— tell you what, it's like saint oowt-o dav— tell you what, it's like saint david's day all— tell you what, it's like saint david's day all over again. report— david's day all over again. tooottltto— david's day all over again. report ithe _office report by the cabinet office ttnto— report by the cabinet office finds-broke- finds sue gray broke impartiality rules. well, this is interesting— impartiality rules. well, this is interesting ._ impartiality rules. well, this is interesting . sunday telegraph is interesting. sunday telegraph has is interesting. sunday telegraph too otwtowotw— is interesting. sunday telegraph has obviously got— is interesting. sunday telegraph has obviously got hold of the report— has obviously got hold of the not two— has obviously got hold of the report into sue— has obviously got hold of the report into sue gray going from being— report into sue gray going from being-top— report into sue gray going from totng-too otwt— report into sue gray going from being top civil servant to being this top civil servant to tooomtng— being this top civil servant to becoming chief— being this top civil servant to becoming chief of staff for keir stotmot. — becoming chief of staff for keir starmer. does— becoming chief of staff for keir starmer. does this— becoming chief of staff for keir starmer. does this now mean that the starmer. does this now mean that tho totow— starmer. does this now mean that the labour leader— starmer. does this now mean that the labour leader has to stop two— the labour leader has to stop this appointment, think? this appointment, do you think? wtgot— this appointment, do you think? wtgot-ton-t— this appointment, do you think? nigel-don't think- this appointment, do you think? nigel don't think he needs nigel no, i don't think he needs to to— nigel no, i don't think he needs to to that. — nigel no, i don't think he needs to to that. ._ nigel no, i don't think he needs to do that. i mean— nigel no, i don't think he needs to do that. " to do that. i mean the, the issue here is that certainly sue gray was miss propriety . that gray was miss propriety. that was job that everyone was in was her job that everyone was in fear of her in whitehall because she was such a stickler for the rules. yes. and so certainly the fact that she she would appear i mean, the report is not actually totally conclusive on this,
9:36 am
according to the telegraph, but it seems to be that she broke the rules. so miss impropriety now. yeah , i think so. and on now. yeah, i think so. and on tho— now. yeah, i think so. and on the basis of that, that she was in breach of the civil service code simply by not declaring the fact she was talking to the opposition. is this a spectacular own goal for keir starmer? i mean, he could have oooont— starmer? i mean, he could have chosen somebody— starmer? i mean, he could have chosen somebody who- , i mean, he could have chosen somebody who wouldn't towe— chosen somebody who wouldn't have toot— chosen somebody who wouldn't have been facing— chosen somebody who wouldn't have been facing this scrutiny. swo— have been facing this scrutiny. swo grav— have been facing this scrutiny. swo gray too— have been facing this scrutiny. sue gray has become a household , wttot— sue gray has become a household name , which lthe _ sue gray has become a household name , which the most famous name, which is the most famous ctwt— name, which is the most famous ctwt sowtoo — name, which is the most famous civil service servant of recent totes.— civil service servant of recent totes-moon- civil service servant of recent totes-moon ,- civil service servant of recent totes-moon , t- civil service servant of recent times.-mean , i do. civil service servant of recent times. mean , i do think times. yeah, i mean, i do think that— times. yeah, i mean, i do think ttot-oto-tt— times. yeah, i mean, i do think that-she'll do— times. yeah, i mean, i do think that-she'll do a- times. yeah, i mean, i do think that she'll do a good job that that she'll do a good job as that that she'll do a good job to tots— that that she'll do a good job to tto ottot— that that she'll do a good job as his chief of— that that she'll do a good job as his chief of staff. that that she'll do a good job as his chief of staff . as his chief of staff. so i ton-t— as his chief of staff. so i ton-t oo— as his chief of staff. so i ton-t t— as his chief of staff. so i don't see a problem there . but don't see a problem there. but it does call into question- act" c but it does call into question her onotwoto— it does call into question her onotwoto ot— it does call into question her analysis of the— it does call into question her analysis of the events around partygate— analysis of the events around tottwgoto on— analysis of the events around partygate on boris johnson. i'm not-t— partygate on boris johnson. i'm not-tt toot— partygate on boris johnson. i'm not-it does really,- partygate on boris johnson. i'm not it does really, because not sure it does really, because all her meetings with keir all that her meetings with keir starmer happened after she'd done the report. yes. so i don't think it's a bit like the privileges inquiry. i don't think there is actually any question of bias or inaccuracy in her original report. i don't get this because— in her original report. i don't get this because people- " (2th ”6362 i don't get this because people who ottttotoo— get this because people who criticise this— get this because people who criticise this show say , oh, you criticise this show say, oh, you cant—

at a time like this. their own rival foreign policy at a time like this . and the at a time like this. and the situation arises, particularly because there are some councils, some local authorities that have subscribed to campaigns which are targeted against israel and which have led to an upsurge because of the way in which they're targeted at the only jewish state in tensions towards our own jewish citizens . can i our own jewish citizens. can i bnng our own jewish citizens. can i bring you back to domestic matters? have you seen this swttow— matters? have you seen this sunday mirror— matters? have you seen this sunday mirror video- 7 have you seen this sunday mirror video of the peopte— sunday mirror video of the people partying at cchq circa pesemter— people partying at cchq circa pesemter .— people partying at cchq circa december . 20,— people partying at cchq circa december . 20, 20? people partying at cchq circa december. 20, 20? yes i have. amt— december. 20, 20? yes i have. amt r— december. 20, 20? yes i have. amt r post— december. 20, 20? yes i have. and i just wanted— december. 20, 20? yes i have. and i just wanted to— december. 20, 20? yes i have. and i just wanted to say- december. 20, 20? yes i have. and i just wanted to say to gb news viewers that i'm personally sorry that people behaved in this way. this this video shows people behaving in a completely unacceptable way . the party that unacceptable way. the party that occurred was is known about because i think there was a picture, a photograph that was taken of the event and investigations had taken place previously. so i don't think that this video had actually been circulated before today . i been circulated before today. i mean, there's been

9:50 am
individuals behaved in this way . my understanding is that there was an investigation into the party when the photograph emerged and people were disciplined. is emerged and people were disciplined . is that enough? do disciplined. is that enough? do you ttmt— disciplined. is that enough? do you ttmt tte— disciplined. is that enough? do you think the police— : 5t: 1“1:: is that enough? do you think the police should twrtter— you think the police should further investigate this and tweet,— further investigate this and mteet, wow— further investigate this and indeed, your conservative sotteogwe— indeed, your conservative colleague, bernard jenkin said, we colleague, bernard jenkin said, we ow— colleague, bernard jenkin said, we ttt— colleague, bernard jenkin said, we now find out— colleague, bernard jenkin said, we now find out from the mail on smtow— we now find out from the mail on sunday ttot— we now find out from the mail on sunday ttot ttr— we now find out from the mail on sunday that mr jenkin we now find out from the mail on sunday that mrjenkin did attend a sunday that mrjenkin did attend o-trmts— sunday that mrjenkin did attend o-trmts-tte- a birthday drinks when the deputy— a birthday drinks when the deputy speaker of the house of sommos— deputy speaker of the house of smos tot— deputy speaker of the house of commons had described it as a twsmess— commons had described it as a business meeting.— commons had described it as a business meeting. so you've also got peopte— business meeting. so you've also got peopte wto— business meeting. so you've also got people who are— business meeting. so you've also got people who are on the stand ltrtwteges— got people who are on the stand , privileges committee , the privileges committee tootmg— , the privileges committee tootmg mto— , the privileges committee looking into conduct of looking into the conduct of ports— looking into the conduct of boris johnson— looking into the conduct of boris johnson ,— looking into the conduct of boris johnson , having themselves boris johnson, having themselves potetttottw— boris johnson, having themselves potetttottw-ttt— boris johnson, having themselves potentially did some of potentially flout did some of the potentially flout did some of tte sown— potentially flout did some of the covm rules— potentially flout did some of the covm rules .— potentially flout did some of the covid rules . what are the the covid rules. what are the totes— the covid rules. what are the tortes ptowmg— the covid rules. what are the tories playing at— the covid rules. what are the tories playing at here? mr gove i tories playing at here? mr gove r so— tories playing at here? mr gove r so r— tories playing at here? mr gove r so r mtsset— tories playing at here? mr gove i so i missed the— tories playing at here? mr gove i so i missed the very end of wow— i so i missed the very end of wow guestroo— i so i missed the very end of your question there, camilla. vow— your question there, camilla. vow sort.— your question there, camilla. you said, what— your question there, camilla. you said, what are— your question there, camilla. you said, what are the- your question there, camilla. you said, what are the tories playing at? bernard jenkin now reweotet— playing at? bernard jenkin now reweotet to— playing at? bernard jenkin now revealed to be— playing at? bernard jenkin now revealed to be a— playing at? bernard jenkin now revealed to be a party- 1“9 57 bernard jenkin now revealed to be a party around tte— revealed to be a party around tte cowo— revealed to be a party around the covm rules— revealed to be a party around the covm rules 7— revealed to be a party around the covid rules ? well i again, i the covid rules? well i again, i tot-t— the covid rules? well i again, i tot-t mow— the covid rules? well i again, i don't know the— the covid rules? well i again, i don't know the details . don't know the details. i've seen some of— don't know the details. i've seen some of the- don't know the details. i've seen some of the allegations, but i think your earlier point,
9:51 am
which is a very fair one, is should the police investigate? and again, my view i'm very old fashioned in this regard is that judgements about what crimes should and should not be investigated be by investigated should be made by the themselves and it's a the police themselves and it's a bad thing if politicians tell the police that they should investigate this crime and not that crime . i'm they will that crime. i'm sure they will look at whatever evidence is presented make presented and then make a judgement what the right judgement about what the right course action is. there's course of action is. there's been a debate around whether harriet harman should have recused herself chairwoman recused herself as chairwoman of that committee because of her previous comments boris previous comments about boris johnson and whether he knowingly misled house. we now hear misled the house. we now hear that misled the house. we now hear ttot swe— misled the house. we now hear ttot swe trow— misled the house. we now hear that sue gray broke— misled the house. we now hear that sue gray broke civil- that sue gray broke civil sewtse— that sue gray broke civil service impartiality rules by optmg— service impartiality rules by optmg to— service impartiality rules by opting to become keir starmer as stret— opting to become keir starmer as sttet ot— opting to become keir starmer as sttet ot stott— opting to become keir starmer as chief of staff .— opting to become keir starmer as chief of staff . do— opting to become keir starmer as chief of staff . do you think the chief of staff. do you think the totow— chief of staff. do you think the labour leader— chief of staff. do you think the labour leader should now block ttot— labour leader should now block that appointment? i know you mow— that appointment? i know you know swe— that appointment? i know you know swe trow— that appointment? i know you know sue gray quite well . i do. know sue gray quite well. i do. i know sue gray quite well. i do. rworteo— know sue gray quite well. i do. r wortet wttt— know sue gray quite well. i do. i worked with sue— know sue gray quite well. i do. i worked with sue gray- know sue gray quite well. i do. i worked with sue gray she- know sue gray quite well. i do. i worked with sue gray she was a civil servant who worked in the department for levelling up . so department for levelling up. so again , i think that keir starmer
9:52 am
again, i think that keir starmer has an obligation of candour to let us know what it was that he did. it would appear on the bafis did. it would appear on the basis of what we know that it was keir starmer who initiated these contacts as keir starmer, who been completely who hasn't been completely candid about what he did. but as for sue herself, i, i shan't criticise sue because i know that in all the time that i worked with her, she was a committed public servant. but do you think it's wise for keir starmer to continue with this appointment ? well, again, it's appointment? well, again, it's a matter for him. i think what we need to know is the precise sequence of events with keir starmer fessing up to what he did. i think on the basis of what we know. keir starmer, who professes to be a stickler for the rules at the very least bent them. but again , in the case of them. but again, in the case of them. but again, in the case of the ultimate appointment, there are processes here and i understand that those are rules which determine whether or not this appointment can be taken
9:53 am
up, are being observed . but up, are being observed. but again, it's for keir starmer to answer david warburton's decision to stand down from somerset and froome that's going to spark another by—election. so we've now got four by etesttots— so we've now got four by elections facing rishi sunak , elections facing rishi sunak, wto— elections facing rishi sunak, wto wos— elections facing rishi sunak, who was brought in to steady the sttp— who was brought in to steady the app, tot— who was brought in to steady the app, but tte— who was brought in to steady the ship, but the ship— who was brought in to steady the ship, but the ship sinking, tsp-t— ship, but the ship sinking, tst-t tt— ship, but the ship sinking, tst-t tt ttr— ship, but the ship sinking, isn't it mr gove- ship, but the ship sinking, isn't it mr gove no, we have tow— isn't it mr gove no, we have tow tw— isn't it mr gove no, we have four by elections— isn't it mr gove no, we have four by elections and in those tow— four by elections and in those tow tw— four by elections and in those four by elections,— four by elections and in those four by elections, i'm confident ttot— four by elections, i'm confident ttot tte— four by elections, i'm confident that the conservative message wttt— that the conservative message wttt prewott— that the conservative message will prevail. are— that the conservative message will prevail. are you confident wow-re— will prevail. are you confident wow-re gomg— will prevail. are you confident wow-re gomg to— will prevail. are you confident you're going to win them, ttowgte — you're going to win them, though? all— you're going to win them, though? all of- you're going to win them, though? 1 you're going to win them, though? all of those four by elections? yes what matters in those four by elections are the five priorities the prime five priorities that the prime minister has set we are the minister has set out. we are the party that's committed. we are the government is committed the government that is committed to inflation, to making to halving inflation, to making sure that we reduce debt, that we that we cut we grow the economy, that we cut nhs lists , and also that nhs waiting lists, and also that we stop the boats and but you're probably going to lose all of those by elections by—election or general election. the or general election. and the most thing is, is the most important thing is, is the government delivering for you. and it's on that basis that i think that judgements will be made. so you confident, are
9:54 am
made. so are you confident, are you saying seriously you're you saying seriously that you're confident by confident of winning all four by elections, including uxbridge and , the they're and south ruislip, the they're all challenging, of course , no all challenging, of course, no one would deny that any incumbent government, when it faces by elections will have a challenging time. but we have good candidates and i believe that more importantly , we have that more importantly, we have the right message as a government. and on that basis, i'm looking forward to going out there seeking to persuade every single person whom i talk to of the vital importance of keeping faith with the government that is determined to tackle the biggest challenge that we face at the moment, which is reducing inflation government inflation and the government that laser focussed on that is also laser focussed on improving our nhs and dealing with illegal migration. and the choice of course in the by elections will be dup between us and labour. as i've pointed out earlier, keir starmer has significant questions to answer with regard to his adherence to the rules, he has the rules, but he also has bigger questions to answer with regard reckless regard to his reckless commitment to borrow a commitment to borrow money in a
9:55 am
way that would send the markets haywire. it's not haywire. all right. it's not a party political broadcast, although i appreciate although i do appreciate that support party's support for your own party's policies. let's just talk about torts— policies. let's just talk about boris johnson. _ policies. let's just talk about boris johnson. back- t:. let's just talk about boris johnson. back 2016, you boris johnson. back in 2016, you sort— boris johnson. back in 2016, you sott te— boris johnson. back in 2016, you sott te wos— boris johnson. back in 2016, you said he was not— boris johnson. back in 2016, you said he was not fit— boris johnson. back in 2016, you said he was not fit to be pm ttet— said he was not fit to be pm then recently— said he was not fit to be pm then recently described him as a ot— then recently described him as a man of integrity.— then recently described him as a man of integrity. you said that he man of integrity. you said that te put— man of integrity. you said that te pwt tte— man of integrity. you said that he put the country first as pm. he ttt— he put the country first as pm. he to o— he put the country first as pm. he to o very— he put the country first as pm. he did a very good job. so were you— he did a very good job. so were you rtgtt— he did a very good job. so were you rtgtt m— he did a very good job. so were you right in 2016— he did a very good job. so were you right in 2016 or are you rtgtt— you right in 2016 or are you rtgtt ow— you right in 2016 or are you rtgtt e — you right in 2016 or are you right now ? well,- you right in 2016 or are you right now ? 311154: right now? well, i think the truth is that, as i remarked earlier this week, boris made mistakes. you know, we're all prone to at times making mistakes. i've made mistakes. but boris also was someone who, as prime minister, deliver the fastest vaccine rollout in europe. he was the staunchest defender of ukraine in the western world. and boris also, as we both know , after the as we both know, after the parliamentary impasse that meant that the will of the people in that the will of the people in that referendum had been frustrated. he was person frustrated. he was the person who got brexit so do you
9:56 am
who got brexit done. so do you now think in weighing up boris's contribution to public life, you need to both acknowledge the good as well as acknowledging the frailties ? and that is a no. the frailties? and that is a no. i think the sort of rounded judgement that that that all of us would wish to have made about our own contribution. i'm intrigued to know because it came up in anthony seldon's recent book, that he thought that all roads to boris's demise andindeed that all roads to boris's demise and indeed perhaps even the conservative party's demise in 2024 leads back to that moment where you knifed him in 2016. so do you regret that now . so do you regret that now. wett— so do you regret that now. wett. r— so do you regret that now. well, i think— so do you regret that now. well, i think it's— so do you regret that now. well, i think it's well- so do you regret that now. well, i think it's well known that at the time i felt that bods that at the time i felt that boris was not the right person to be prime minister i think it's wrong to look at any single event and say that single event is the cause of multiple different branching histories. so people will form their own judgement about boris. i've given you mine and i hope that people will appreciate that as a judgement that combines my

10:12 am
done enough? no, it hasn't. indeed. i think the government missed some chances during the covid period when it could have been planning things and it wasn't really working hard enough. but but you know, enough. but but also, you know, listen, i resigned because i thought the original strategy was wrong and that meant we had to pull the pull. talking about turning ocean liners, we had to pull the whole ocean liner back and to be fair to boris, he did start that process. so hasn't start that process. so it hasn't been done as well as it should be. is it is it has it failed? certainly not, no. i mean, as i say, some of the economic numbers that people don't say to you on our overall growth rate better than europe on service levels, which is the biggest part, of economy, we're part, 80% of the economy, we're doing really, really well. yeah. so there's lots of things we're doing well and of course, whether it's vaccines or ukraine, our independence has actually worked both to our advantage and to the world's advantage. although still the news agenda is dominated by all things blonde and boris ish. how are you going to vote

tomorrow e — how are you going to vote tomorrow ? if— how are you going to vote tomorrow ? �*7 111: tomorrow? if there's a vote, i will vote to support the committee and the reason for thatis committee and the reason for that is i've actually read the report. i mean, it's 30,000 words. you're confident that homet— words. you're confident that harriet harman— : you're confident that harriet harman was a neutral orttter— harriet harman was a neutral orttter 1n— harriet harman was a neutral arbiter in all— harriet harman was a neutral arbiter in all this, having . arbiter in all this, having. res.— arbiter in all this, having. res. ant— arbiter in all this, having. yes. and having tweeted that she ttowgtt— yes. and having tweeted that she. thought—parliament. thought boris misled parliament. tot-s— thought boris misled parliament. let's-understand— thought boris misled parliament. let's-understand something. let's let's understand something about like about this. i mean, people like rees—mogg argue very strongly about the importance of parliament. boris argues about it. and one of the things about parliament is it's the highest court in the land creates court in the land that creates a problem you're coming to problem when you're coming to privileges. that problem? problem when you're coming to privlikezs. that problem? problem when you're coming to privlike having that problem? problem when you're coming to privlike having a that problem? problem when you're coming to privlike having a trial problem? problem when you're coming to privlike having a trial in'oblem? problem when you're coming to privlike having a trial in a)lem? it's like having a trial in a village every body knows everybody . nobody is entirely everybody. nobody is entirely unbiased. anybody in the whole thing. and this was true with boris, too. i mean, people took views on either side of the divide. now, what's important about this report, and i recommend to your viewers, if they really care about this, actually read it , because what actually read it, because what they do is they take six cases. they say to boris, the last 16,
10:14 am
the ones involving chequers and so on, they just take boris's word for it. yeah, they take six cases and five of which he was actually at the parties and go through them piece by piece and say, did he know about this ? did say, did he know about this? did he know about them ? did he he know about them? did he attend? he's arguing. how do ttew— attend? he's arguing. how do ttew mow— attend? he's arguing. how do ttew mow tts— attend? he's arguing. how do they know his own— :7 he's arguing. how do they know his own mind at the ttmee — they know his own mind at the ttmee mew— they know his own mind at the time? they-have- they know his own mind at the. time? they-haveiwhat time? they don't have to. what they is what he knows. they know is what he knows. yeah. if you if you go to a party, you know, it was a party. you don't need an adviser to tell you. and if your tell you. and if and if your readers, if your viewers don't have read the whole have time to read the whole thing, just read about. the eight paragraphs from 109 onwards and they'll see what i mean, do what journalists do. just read the conclusion . well, just read the conclusion. well, it's just read the conclusion. well, 1t-s not— just read the conclusion. well, no not tte— just read the conclusion. well, it's not the conclusion because in the conclusion they say, look at paragraph that at paragraph this for that paragraph. it's a very, paragraph. it's a it's a very, very argued report. so very carefully argued report. so in a way, that means almost this is slightly contradictory because i remember having conversations with you about the process that paterson faced process that owen paterson faced , criticisms, , and there's been criticisms, david warburton today david warburton said today that standards kafka esque standards process is kafka esque and you concerned about it

take voters for granted. and that's people that's part of the reason people like got elected , because like me got elected, because labour were taking people for granted seats. we've granted in these seats. we've got at least by elections got at least four by elections coming now the same thing. coming up now the same thing. you they look at you know, they will look at whether they think the member of parliament done good parliament has done a good job. some going to be a some of it's going to be a reflection on on at reflection on on things at the moment. same time, it moment. but at the same time, it shows working in shows why working hard in your constituency important. constituency is so important. really. now tried focus really. now i've tried to focus on here. i've tried on local issues here. i've tried to mp i would hope to be a good mp and i would hope that be rewarded with that. that i'd be rewarded with that. but of course that's that's not doubting. a difficult doubting. it's a very difficult time we take time for us and we should take nothing granted. uh, and on nothing for granted. uh, and on bods nothing for granted. uh, and on torts rotnson— nothing for granted. uh, and on boris johnson, i— nothing for granted. uh, and on boris johnson, i-do- boris johnson, i mean, do you not— boris johnson, i mean, do you notnow-— boris johnson, i mean, do you notnow- otter- boris johnson, i mean, do you not now after everything not accept now after everything ttot-s— not accept now after everything ttot-s toppenet— not accept now after everything that's happened and obviously he stoned—1n- that's happened and obviously he started—in the. started his new column in the mott— started his new column in the mot-seems— started his new column in the mail,-seems to- started his new column in the mail, seems to have mail, so he seems to have moved on-te-s— mail, so he seems to have moved on-he's politically— mail, so he seems to have moved on he's politically dead on that he's politically dead ont— on that he's politically dead one-rtgtt— on that he's politically dead and-right now- on that he's politically dead and-right now .- on that he's politically dead and right now . brendan, and buried right now. brendan, wow-we— and buried right now. brendan, wow-we-to— and buried right now. brendan, wow-we-to moe— and buried right now. brendan, you've to move on, haven't you've got to move on, haven't you?— you've got to move on, haven't wore-ot— you've got to move on, haven't wore-or tte— you've got to move on, haven't you? of the supporters of you? all of the supporters of tons— you? all of the supporters of boris johnson— you? all of the supporters of boris johnson have to move boris johnson have got to move onso-ste— boris johnson have got to move oto-ste ot— boris johnson have got to move oto-ste ot pony- boris johnson have got to move on sake of party unity. on for the sake of party unity. we on for the sake of party unity. we wett— on for the sake of party unity. we wat, 1— on for the sake of party unity. we well, i think— on for the sake of party unity. we well, i think if a lot of us towe— we well, i think if a lot of us towe mowet— we well, i think if a lot of us have moved on— we well, i think if a lot of us have moved on a— we well, i think if a lot of us have moved on a long time ago, but wtot— have moved on a long time ago, but what-don't— have moved on a long time ago, but what don't want to see is but what we don't want to see is ot— but what we don't want to see is one of our colleagues thrown otter— one of our colleagues thrown wnter tte— one of our colleagues thrown under the bus— one of our colleagues thrown under the bus and treated very poortw. — under the bus and treated very poorly- .1— under the bus and treated very poorly- .1tt1nt- under the bus and treated very poorly. .i think that's- poorly. and i think that's what

10:24 am
about the safety of the woman who says she wishes to marry this man . and indeed, the this man. and indeed, the absurdity of a position whereby somebody like this , one of about somebody like this, one of about 60 people kept in whole life tariffs are able to even contemplate getting married. the theatre of the absurd . camilla. theatre of the absurd. camilla. yes. let's just theatre of the absurd. camilla. yes. let'sjust remind theatre of the absurd. camilla. yes. let's just remind viewers onu— yes. let's just remind viewers out tuoooo— “in; let's just remind viewers and indeed listeners of belfields_ and indeed listeners of belfields appalling crimes. he's ouuouty— belfields appalling crimes. he's currently serving— belfields appalling crimes. he's currently serving two a whole uto— currently serving two a whole life sentence _ currently serving two a whole life sentence for— currently serving two a whole life sentence for the murders of milly— life sentence for the murders of titty ooutor— life sentence for the murders of milly dowler in— life sentence for the murders of milly dowler in 2002. marcia monouuou— milly dowler in 2002. marcia mcdonnell in— milly dowler in 2002. marcia mcdonnell in 2003, and emily de la mcdonnell in 2003, and emily de to orange— mcdonnell in 2003, and emily de to orange in— mcdonnell in 2003, and emily de la grange in 2004,— mcdonnell in 2003, and emily de la grange in 2004, as well as tho— la grange in 2004, as well as the attempted— la grange in 2004, as well as the attempted murder of kate sheedv— the attempted murder of kate stoooy tu— the attempted murder of kate stoooy in tho— the attempted murder of kate sheedy in the same year and what on outt— sheedy in the same year and what on earth cou— sheedy in the same year and what on earth oo— sheedy in the same year and what on earth can be done to stop this?— on earth can be done to stop this? .— on earth can be done to stop this? . otso— on earth can be done to stop this? i also read— on earth can be done to stop this? i also read robert , that this? i also read robert, that too— this? i also read robert, that he's received— this? i also read robert, that he's received 30— this? i also read robert, that he's received 30 grand in legal aid .— he's received 30 grand in legal aid . ano— he's received 30 grand in legal aid . out you— he's received 30 grand in legal aid . out you .— he's received 30 grand in legal aid . and yes, i mean , aid. and yes, i mean, astonishing.

10:25 am
, if a prisoner perhaps is they've got the date of their release wrong. they need some advice legal help as to get advice and legal help as to get that right. you know. okay but this of scenario, again, this sort of scenario, again, just beggars belief. it does appear at the moment that the law and the marriages act, which governs marriages , does allow governs marriages, does allow this. i don't think in all good faith that the people who passed the law 40 or so years ago, ever imagined that it would apply in circumstances like this quite rightly, the government is taking to action ban marriages and civil partnerships for prisoners on whole life tariffs. the law is before parliament now and it will have an effect on current sentence cases. so if the law can be passed as quickly as possible in the next few months, it may well apply in belfields case, i just wonder, camilla, whether this is an attempt by bellfield once again to be the centre of attention. this is an evil individual who
10:26 am
clearly likes exerting control , clearly likes exerting control, particularly on women and vulnerable people. and i just think this is just a continuation of a of a macabre display by this individual that is deeply unedifying and undermines his understandably pubuc undermines his understandably public confidence in the system. it's just a dreadful situation. so, robert , i just want to ask so, robert, i just want to ask you one more question about colin pitchfork. obviously, there-o— colin pitchfork. obviously, there's been— colin pitchfork. obviously, there's been a— colin pitchfork. obviously, there's been a lot- colin pitchfork. obviously, there's been a lot of- " 37�* f obviously, there's been a lot of reporting of him — there's been a lot of reporting of him onu— there's been a lot of reporting of him and now— there's been a lot of reporting of him and now this idea that too-o— of him and now this idea that too-o going— of him and now this idea that no-o going to— of him and now this idea that he's going to be— of him and now this idea that he's going to be released. do we tnink— he's going to be released. do we tnink tnot-o— he's going to be released. do we tnink tnot-o o— he's going to be released. do we think that's a good— he's going to be released. do we think that's a good idea? obviouoiy— think that's a good idea? obviously responsible for the noo— obviously responsible for the rope oni— obviously responsible for the rape and murder— obviously responsible for the rape and murder of two young women? pitch— rape and murder of two young women? pitch fork, should he be among— women? pitch fork, should he be among tno— women? pitch fork, should he be among the public?— women? pitch fork, should he be among the public? he's still a non— among the public? he's still a not to— among the public? he's still a not to no— among the public? he's still a risk to the public,— among the public? he's still a risk to the public, isn't he? not.— risk to the public, isn't he? vioii. i— risk to the public, isn't he? vioii. i inst— risk to the public, isn't he? well, i last time— risk to the public, isn't he? well, i last time he- risk to the public, isn't he? well, i last time he was- well, i last time he was released, i objected strongly and asked the parole board to reconsider. he was released. and guess what? within a couple of months, he was recalled to prison because he breached his licence conditions . and again , i licence conditions. and again, i am amazed that so shortly after that it's only about a year or
