00:00You're the one who's been dancing on stage at a time of war and you're still doing the stunts, aren't
00:05you?
00:06Which you did during the election. Some of your critics will say, time to stop that, time to get much
00:11more serious,
00:12stop all the clowning, because obviously we're in a state of war at the moment in the Middle East.
00:18The real clowns in British politics over this war are Kenny Baydock and Nigel Farage,
00:24who one week said, we should go to war, we should join Donald Trump, and then completely changed their minds.
00:31They're not serious. It's been the Liberal Democrats who've been really clear, just like we were on the Iraq war,
00:37we shouldn't be joining the United States in their illegal war.
00:40And the idea that you can not have a serious speech and a serious position on the war, unlike the
00:46Conservatives and Reform,
00:47but also when you meet with your friends and colleagues, also have a dance like most people do when they
00:51get together,
00:52I think most people would agree we're getting the balance right.
