00:00People are dying alone. People are not allowed to go to funerals.

00:03People are agonisingly observe the rules.

00:05You have told us that people will die if we don't observe the rules.

00:08And here is your private secretary writing to over a hundred people,

00:14inviting them to a party in the Downing Street Garden.

00:16Sorry, hang on a second.

00:17People can't understand why you wouldn't be paralytically apologetic about that.

00:22Because, and actually, I was at the time, if you remember what happened.

00:26But now you're saying, oh, it wasn't a big deal, I shouldn't have appointed.

01:04They thought that they were doing something, they were working round the clock.
