00:00There are grave questions about the Prime Minister's judgment. This is the man who stood on the steps of Downing Street and said he was going to restore political integrity. And look where we are now. We've had two senior resignations in the space of two weeks. We've had the outrageous situation where the Prime Minister and the Labour Party defended appointing the best pal of a convicted paedophile to be ambassador of the US.
00:22The Prime Minister's authority is completely shocked and he and his chief of staff have some serious questions to answer over how this was allowed to happen and we the Conservatives will be pushing those questions.
