00:00You must have listened to Vice President Vance's speech and he talked about us failing to live

00:07up to our own values, freedom of speech. How did you react to that?

00:10Well I did say that we don't have to agree on everything and I think that's one area

00:14where we would disagree. I speak as a Christian myself, no one is subject to any kind of enforcement

00:21from the state for praying in this country. The example he gave was about people being

00:25able to access healthcare, in this case abortions, free of intimidation or harassment. I think

00:30that's an important British value too. So I think we disagree in our interpretation

00:34of that issue.
