00:00OK, so what will the UK do, Sir Gerald? Brexit, as we were saying earlier on, has made this
00:04slightly less painful for the UK, but how do you anticipate the UK responding? Negotiation
00:10or retaliation?
00:11Well, I am a very severe critic of virtually every domestic policy of the current Prime
00:18Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, but in this very extraordinary international situation which
00:24we find ourselves in, unprecedented certainly in my political career, if not my lifetime,
00:32I think that the civility has gone and I think that is much to be regretted. But I do think
00:40that Sir Keir Starmer has responded very sensibly, very quietly, calmly. As he said today, we
00:50are going to consider how we do respond. And I think that the retaliation, if it doesn't
00:57come from the United Kingdom, and I don't know what the government is going to do, they
01:01don't know yet, but they are going to look and see what is it that we, how might we redress
01:06this in favour of British industry.
