00:00Well, it sounds to me like she's panicked, because, as you know, I am doing a press conference in London since I've been about 4.30.

00:08Obviously, we had the Dean Sahawi defection just the other day. We had the offer of defection a few weeks before that.

00:17There's been quite a long list of former Conservative MPs that have been joining us.

00:23There have been others that have tried to join that we've said, no, we don't think it'll work.

00:27So she's aware that there is that move. And so I suspect she's panicked. I suspect she's added up two and two and made five.

00:37I can confirm, hand on heart, honestly, look you in the eye, I was not going to be unmade in Robert Jenrick at 4.30 this afternoon.

00:48As I said to your BBC colleague a moment ago, is he one of many that I've talked to about what the future might look like? Absolutely.

00:55Have I signed the deal with him? No.
