00:00I can tell you this morning that the mad claims made overnight by Downing Street sources are

00:05categorically untrue. I think this is probably about the most unjustified attack on a faithful

00:13since Joe Marler was banished in the final of Celebrity Traitors and clearly someone in Downing

00:18Street has been watching far too much of that programme and should probably spend a bit more

00:21time watching Countryfile. Why aren't they passing against you if it's not true?

00:25Look, I have no idea where these briefings in Downing Street have come from.

00:30You must know where they're from. You must know who's doing this. Who is briefing against you?

00:33If I knew, the Prime Minister would fire them. I don't think these sorts of briefings are at all

00:39helpful to the Prime Minister. He's not fighting to save his own job. He is fighting to turn the

00:44country around. And what we've seen from Downing Street overnight are a series of categorically

00:50untrue briefings. Whoever's behind this has been watching far too much Celebrity Traitors

00:54and what they've said about me is probably the most unjustified attack on a faithful since

00:59Joe Marler was banished in the final. Maybe they should spend a bit more time watching Countryfile.
