00:00We are all raising eyebrows at this story.
00:03The prime minister's chief of staff is someone who has access to a lot of information.
00:08The fact that the police transcript says that he made a report and didn't tell them who he was.
00:14I mean, anyone could have stolen that phone. Could have been China. Could have been Russia.
00:18I think there are a lot of questions that need answering.
00:21And what we need is for Morgan Lakswini and, let's be frank, Akir Starmer,
00:25to come clean about what happened and why this report was not escalated to the security services.
00:31Do you think there's been wrongdoing here?
00:35Well, we don't know, but the story doesn't add up.
00:37It is very suspicious that the phone got stolen after I'd asked about Peter Mandelson and he'd been sacked.
00:45It was very clear that a lot of documents were going to come out.
00:48So that's what makes it suspicious.
00:49If they want to quell the suspicion, they need to come clean and answer a lot of questions.
