00:00 Will you apologise to Brianna Jai's family for the trans comments made yesterday in PMQs?

00:05 Well like everyone I was completely shocked by Brianna's case. To have your child taken from

00:12 you in such awful circumstances is almost impossible to come to terms with and for

00:18 Brianna's mum to talk with such empathy and compassion about that I thought was inspiring

00:24 and it showed the very best of humanity. I've nothing but the most heartfelt sympathy for her

00:30 entire family and friends. But to use that tragedy to detract from the very separate and clear point

00:38 I was making about Keir Starmer's proven track record of multiple u-turns on major policies

00:45 because he doesn't have a plan I think is both sad and wrong and it demonstrates the worst of

00:50 politics. The father has demanded an apology from you so will you honour that? If you look at what

00:58 I said I was very clear talking about Keir Starmer's proven track record of u-turns on major

01:05 policies because he doesn't have a plan a point only proven by today's reports that the Labour

01:11 Party and Keir Starmer are apparently planning to reverse on their signature economic green

01:17 spending policy that just demonstrates the point I was making. He's someone who has just consistently

01:23 changed his mind on a whole range of major things and I think that is an absolutely legitimate thing

01:28 to point out and it demonstrates that he doesn't have a plan for the country.
