00:00Not in the slightest.
00:02I forced him to make a confession yesterday,
00:05and he is backtracking now because he's a coward.
00:08The fact is, he saw security vetting that had information
00:13that every single person in this room would have realised
00:16made Mandelson unsuitable,
00:18and he still went ahead and appointed him
00:20because he thought he was being clever.
00:22We all saw that press conference
00:24where they were calling him OR Peter to us, he's just Peter.
00:28They thought they could get away with it,
00:29and now it's all come out.
00:30So, no, I'm afraid it doesn't cut it.
00:32I think what he said this morning was actually shameful.
00:35He should be apologising for ignoring the security advice
00:38rather than apologising for believing Mandelson.
