00:00Starmer, you have said today in the Sunday Telegraph, you've written an op-ed for them,
00:04he's a coward with no moral core.
00:06This comes after you criticised him at Prime Minister's questions,
00:10basically saying he lacked balls.
00:12Do you regret those comments?
00:13No, no.
00:14Some people said they were un-parliamentarian.
00:16I'm sure they do.
00:17They also say saying someone is telling a lie is un-parliamentary.
00:22Well, are you calling him a liar?
00:22I speak the truth.
00:24I think it is very clear that this is a man who doesn't know what he believes.
00:28But the thing that I found most astonishing was that he could not bring himself to apologise to
00:34or even acknowledge Rosie Duffield, the MP for Canterbury, hounded out of his party with his permission.
00:40He was one of those people who was rebuking her.
00:43Now the Supreme Court has said that people like me and her were right all along.
00:47The amount of abuse that I got from Labour MPs, you would not believe the things they said.
00:51So I don't have any sympathy for them right now.
00:53Why don't you just nail your colours to the mask and say that he's a liar?
00:56He had previously said that a woman is a female adult.
01:01In addition to that, trans women are women.
01:04That's not just my view, he said.
01:06That is actually the law.
01:08Yes.
01:08And now his spokesman has come forward and said, oh, he always believed that a woman was a lie.
01:13So he's a liar.
01:14That is a lie.
01:15That is a lie.
01:16There are lots of things he says at PMQs that are not true.
01:18I can't say that he's lying there.
01:22But I can say it now.
01:23There are many things, like the ones you've just described.
01:25I talked about it in Parliament the day before.
01:27He said 99.9% of women have a penis, so one in a – don't have a penis, so one in a thousand do.
01:32I mean, this is just not common sense.
01:34And if somebody cannot bring themselves to speak the truth because they're worried about a mob here or their dinner party set there,
01:42then what other things are they – what other decisions are they making for the country?
01:46Look at what's happening with unemployment.
01:49It's rising.
01:50Taxes are rising.
01:51People are angry.
01:52You know, I told you about winter fuel payments.
01:54They're angry about that jobs tax.
01:55They're not hiring people.
01:56And yet Labour have got the waiting list down, they claim.
01:58They claim they've got –
01:5850,000 appointments.
01:59They claim they've got the waiting list down.
02:01But this is, you know, this is Labour just telling people things.
02:05Let's actually look at what is happening out there.
02:07No one is happy.
02:08I've been going all around the country.
02:10No one has said, oh, I'm really glad about what Labour is doing with the NHS.
02:14They're talking about how Labour is killing their businesses.
02:17I've been on about three farms this week.
02:19Family farms tax, actively destroying farms.
02:22And yet I don't –
02:22That's going to ruin our rural community.
