00:00 Well, my priority is making sure we deliver the economic stability that our country needs.

00:08 How many people voted for your plan?

00:13 What do you mean by that?

00:15 Given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative

00:21 Party.

00:22 I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as

00:29 leader of the Conservative Party.

00:32 I'm sure that whatever happened, the guidance was followed and the rules were followed

00:37 at all times.

00:39 Today I've received a fixed penalty notice from the Metropolitan Police relating to an

00:44 event in Downing Street on the 19th June 2020.

00:47 What's the naughtiest thing you ever did?

00:52 Oh goodness me.

00:53 Well, I suppose that, gosh, do you know, I'm not quite sure.

00:59 There must have been a moment.

01:00 Well, nobody is ever perfectly shaved, are they?

01:03 I mean, you know, I have to confess when me and my friends sort of used to run through

01:07 the fields of wheat, the farmers weren't too pleased about that.

01:14 Three hundred and fourteen for the Conservatives.

01:17 That's down 17.

01:20 And the Cabinet agreed that the Government's position will be to recommend that Britain

01:30 I expect to go to the Palace and offer my resignation so we'll have a new Prime Minister

01:34 in that building behind me by Wednesday evening.

01:37 Thank you very much.

01:38 This is how it's done.

01:39 Right.

01:40 A good family.

01:41 Good to see you.

01:42 And the education system in Rochdale, I will congratulate it.

01:51 Good, good.

01:52 And it's very nice to see you.

01:53 Take care.

01:54 Good to see you all.

01:55 That was a disaster.

01:56 She'd never have put me in the family, that woman.

01:57 Whose idea was that?

01:58 Everything.

01:59 She's just a sort of bigoted woman.

02:00 Who's idea was that?

02:01 Everything.

02:02 She's just a sort of bigoted woman.

02:02 Everything.

02:03 She's just a sort of bigoted woman.

02:03 Everything.

02:04 She's just a sort of bigoted woman.
