00:00Well, the documents that we have now got in the public domain, because Kemi Badenow, the Conservatives, pushed for these
00:09documents to be released, undermine the explanation that we initially received from the Prime Minister.
00:15He said that a full process was conducted. We now know that was not the case. He said that he
00:24was lied to. We now know that he didn't even speak to Peter Mandelson.
00:28He said that he took a decisive action in firing Peter Mandelson. We now see that there was a severance
00:40payment.
00:40So the Prime Minister's comments are undermined by the documents that we now have in the public domain.
00:48So I and Kemi are very confident that he was not open and honest with us and that he should
01:00be investigated.
