00:00Chris Parry's comments yesterday after a terrorist outrage in North London by a
00:06group that we know are directly linked to the Iranian IRGC was crass,
00:13insensitive, hurtful and wrong. And on a day when Suana Braverman MP and our
00:19prospective London mayoral candidate Layla Cunningham had gone to visit the
00:23area. So enough, you know, he said controversial things in the past. I don't
00:27mind that, but this is just, I haven't got time. I haven't got time to mess about
00:31with things like this.
00:32And is there a problem with the vetting process?
00:34Well, listen, we have members of Parliament who go to prison, you know, having been vetted
00:39by their parties. You can't be responsible for what people do in the future. I like Chris
00:44Parry. I've known him a very, very long time, but I just haven't got time for this nonsense.
