simon clarke, a 38 year young , simon clarke, a 38 year young, you were elected in 2017. you're already a former cabinet minister. let's talk about politics later in the interview. but i want to start with some personal stuff. when you were chief secretary to the treasury in 2021, were used to saying on budget days, chancellor holding up the briefcase with a team around them, but you didn't take part in that photograph because you revealed that you suffer with agoraphobia. can you explain what agoraphobia is? well, it's a complex condition and as always, when you're talking about these sort of things, it's best to probably speak for me than for everybody who lives with it. but i, i would characterise it as anxiety around being unable to leave a situation . it's classically situation. it's classically associated with a sort of a fear of open spaces, but it's basically , i would say it's much basically, i would say it's much more about a fear of being caughtin more about a fear of being caught in a situation for which you can't leave really that, that that's how it manifest

yet again, simon clarke stories.nses were about £200,000 and let's just seems like the continual war on the nhs and war these nurses they're already striking and now you you're going to come round the corner and say that need a budget and say that you need a budget better. i mean, it's better. i mean, come on, it's ridiculous. if somebody to or wants a foodbank. that is wants to use a foodbank. that is their prerogative. if got like, like said, if someone's like we said, like if someone's got children and they got like two children and they can't literally and can't and they literally and they afford their rent, they can't afford their rent, they're living in central london and know, they have and they, you know, they have family they might need family around. they might need they use they might need to use a foodbank, i mean, they fit foodbank, but i mean, they fit in well, i somebody who in well, i know somebody who i was speaking to earlier. he said that exactly salary and that that was exactly salary and they wer

going to do it, simon. clarke yeah, risk defending him.did not say nurses on 20,000, you need to better shouldn't be using better they shouldn't be using but if you're on £35,000 but he said if you're on £35,000 which a lot and the average it's is the and you are using food bank that may be a budgeting issue which is a different quote to come on nurses so your to saying come on nurses so your budget but obviously it's a political think it's a gift to political i think it's a gift to the mirror. yeah but at the moment the tory politician, they call i'm sure he call him well i'm sure that he is was solicitor for views is he was solicitor for views and as a political and they worked as a political adviser but the moment a tory mp former cabinet minister with a gold appears to gold plated pension appears to talk down to nurses. it's a silly own goal i'll give you that. but i mean do think, you know, if you're on 30,000, £5,000 a year and you're using a food bank probably is a big yeah. but but that oh no there's a lot of them will say that's s

the formal up secretary simon clarke put an amendment towards the levelling up bill to allow that.ent has now accepted that . did you now accepted that. did you support that actually in this i think this is the routine decision governments to make and i'm supporting government policy that i don't think backbenchers want to rebel on every passing whimsy. and i didn't think that was an issue of fundamental constitutional importance. if the government wanted to do , the government wanted to do, that's fine by me. if the government doesn't want to do it, that's equally fine by me. i was willing to support the government asked me government view. if you asked me what thought the right policy what i thought the right policy was, then not what i would rebel on. i was in favour based of shale gas and indeed onshore wind . if local communities wind. if local communities wanted it. i really like the idea that people will get lower energy or cash payments if these things take place near them. i think compensating people for loss of amenity or simply because the gas is under their ground becau

what are your views on simon clark's comments? you know another frankly nana. you know another thing is that the media is making a big deal about nurses on strike today . only 10,000 on strike today. only 10,000 nurses are on strike. it's a big number, but there are three quarters of a million nurses on the register. so it's 1.2% of the register. so it's1.2% of nurses are on strike, but 5.8% of them are off sick as well . so of them are off sick as well. so there's a bigger problem with nurses being off sick than actually nurses being on strike. and i think the nhs as an employer could actually get its head around that in terms of foodbanks. i do not believe for a minute that nurses are going to food banks. i just don't believe it. i'm sorry. it's hyperbole. and nobody believes it. well. well don't know. i mean, listening to some of the things that i've heard, some of are going to foodbanks. i did hear on one show that a nurse is on 30 something thousand pounds. she was saying that she have mortgages 100, she was saying that she h

that's a sizeable simon clarke.doing so much to promote the united kingdom and has thrown the baby out with the bathwater of the liz truss administration. that's a genuine concern for a lot of people and it has seemed as though the prime minister has been focussed on bearing down on inflation that that's sort of been to the exclusion of growth policy . this speech today is policy. this speech today is sort of , i suppose, trying to sort of, i suppose, trying to counter that narrative, saying that this is a government that does care about economic growth , that there is a long term plan for the future, that there will be some sense of supply side reform. and we really see sort, sort of hints of that with the edinburgh reforms that were announced by jeremy hunt towards the end of last year, liberalising financial services in the united kingdom . but in the united kingdom. but there's so much more to do and to some extent the chancellor will focus on a lot of this eu law that is still in the uk statute book, the abilit

secretary under truss ranil jayawardena , the truss ranil jayawardena, the levelling up secretary, simon clarke getting together a group of conservative mp there determined that her agenda of supply reforms and encouraging growth shouldn't be jettisoned and working together to see how they can bring. that's our other big discussion a bit later on, which is how we perhaps narrowly avoided really being deep in the do of recession so far as do do of recession so far as they out friday some big they came out on friday some big money boris . money following boris. christopher holborn, who's given a lot of money brexit party a lot of money to brexit party and backs people he thinks are winners within the conservative party but some row and discuss as well about whether or not bofisis as well about whether or not boris is safe in uxbridge rishi sunak says that's where he's staying . his friends say he may staying. his friends say he may need a safer. staying. his friends say he may need a safer . well it's staying. his friends say he may need a safer. well it's only he's got a majority of 7000 hasn't h

simon clarke said it was disgraceful. sajid javid , former disgraceful.en of course, a little later during prime minister's questions, matt hancock's stood up as well. but that was after andrew bridgen was suspended the sequence of events that took place this morning were relatively fast when it comes to a westminster timescale. but i was on the phone to a number of different types statements of government, really. first. so a spokesperson for the minister, he said that this was a matter for the whips office, the whips weren't picking up their phones . so picking up their phones. so i then got on the conservative campaign headquarters who put out a fairly nondescript statement and it wasn't until a little bit later that finally the decision from the whips office that the whip should be suspended . this, i understand, suspended. this, i understand, was a decision of the chief whip, simon hart , rather than a whip, simon hart, rather than a decision of prime minister whipping matters are operationally independent . but operationally independent. but let's h

so that's what you heard from simon clarke last year and the levelling up bill. more houses, build billn more houses because the old equation buyers equal equation was house buyers equal to but that's broken to the voters. but that's broken down now because too many people are extortionate are facing these extortionate mortgage costs. and sajid javid, who we know is standing down, has said this is one of the reasons is walking away from reasons he is walking away from politics, because he really feels as though , you know, with feels as though, you know, with an inability these an inability to make these changes in under the changes in housing under the conservatives , young will conservatives, young people will not have any capital, not feel they have any capital, any in the country. and any stake in the country. and therefore, capitalism is failing young people. i've got to hear a former chancellor say something thatis former chancellor say something that is incredibly powerful. why of the same pete , same young of the same pete, same young people who can't afford to buy a house annoy

fellow tory mp simon clarke has also defended his claim, saying that nurse issues in food banks are notknow, people 0 f £35,000 a year need to people of £35,000 a year need to use food banks. do they really? it's a huge debate. i know is a big a big part of the gb news family . it's big a big part of the gb news family. it's a very controversial view. but i mean, does he have a point? i mean, you have to he has to be talked about. you have to be to whether or not you're giving stuff out for free. will people come out? they will come or are there hoops that you have to jump through to prove that that you needit through to prove that that you need it so . so i was talking to need it so. so i was talking to you talk. i mean, what are your plans writing again? you know, but i hope that we will see, you know, it's just going to say it's if we don't talk about it, we're never going to get to the bottom of the situation. i do think we have i'm not that food banks are wrong and people don't use really. but we do have use them really. but we do have to. some people in to. there are some people i
