00:00On a different topic, if I may, one of your colleagues, Chris Parry, the mayor candidate for Hampshire and for Solent, obviously he's been delayed now, he said that David Lammy should go back to the Caribbean, back to home to the Caribbean.
00:14Do you support that language and do you support what he was trying to say, purely because yesterday Danny Cringer appeared to support or even maybe defend him?
00:24I'm not familiar with what was said, at the end of the day David Lammy is a cabinet minister, whether you think he's doing a good job or a bad job is just part of politics, that's day to day life and he will I'm sure continue to claim he's doing a great job, we challenge him and in our view this government, a number of its cabinet members have got no experience of business, no experience how to grow the economy whether it's David Lammy
00:52or the Chancellor and we've seen the numbers today, just look at the jobs numbers going down once again, all of the economic numbers, all of the growth numbers are going in the wrong direction and that is what we're going to hold this government to account on.
