00:00Would you like to take this opportunity to say sorry to pensioners like Chrissie?

00:06Well, I am really concerned that we've been put in this position.

00:10I asked you, would you like to take this opportunity to say sorry to voters who voted for you,

00:18like Chrissie, pensioners who are about to lose hundreds this winter because of your choices?

00:24What I'd say to Chrissie is this, I absolutely promised that we would stabilise the economy

00:32to make sure we never had the economy getting out of control again.

00:35So I've asked you a couple of times and you have just skirted around it,

00:39would you like to say sorry?

00:40The people who should be saying sorry are the last government who left a hole of £22 billion.

00:48And they should be sorry for that, they should apologise for that.

00:51So you're not going to apologise?

00:52I've come in to fix the mess, fix the problems and that's tough,

00:57really tough decisions and if we don't stabilise the economy we can't keep to the triple lock.
