00:21AC-12 interview of Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel-Johnson by Superintendent
00:26Hastings, D.I. Fleming, D.I. Arnott. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
00:32if you do not mention when questions, something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be
00:37used in evidence.
00:38We've been asked to review your case, the case of a Prime Minister who's broken the law.
00:42A law you created. A law you made the whole country abide by.
00:47Too many of our institutions are failing the British public by turning a blind eye to your wrongdoing.
00:53But not us, fella. We will uphold standards without fear or favour.
00:59In the spring of 2020, as the first wave of Covid tore through the country, you created a secret backchannel
01:06that helped friends of the Conservative Party make millions of pounds out of PPE contracts.
01:11In so far as there are any conflicts of interest, they will be evident from the publication of all the
01:16details of all the contracts.
01:19Document 8. Document 8 is a statement by the National Audit Office showing that companies channelled into your so-called
01:26VIP lane were ten times more likely to secure Covid contracts than companies without political connections.
01:33Once the rest of the country was doing its duty, making sacrifices, you were lining your mates' pockets.
01:41Loads of the kit didn't even work.
01:43It had to be chucked away while doctors and nurses went without.
01:50Corruption costs lives.
01:55Document 2 in your folders.
01:58Document 2 is a summary of an internal investigation into the renovation of your flat above Downing Street.
02:09Forgive me.
02:13Forgive me.
02:15Note an invoice to the value of £112,000.
02:19Included in the price is the purchase of gold wallpaper at a cost of £850 per roll.
02:24When inquiries were made regarding who paid for said renovation, you claimed you didn't know.
02:31On screen, item reference LBD3.
02:35LBD3 is a WhatsApp exchange between you and Lord Brownlow.
02:38I wish you asked him to pay the bill and he agrees.
02:41So you did know who paid for your refurbishment, even when you said you didn't.
02:45When all this was being investigated first time round, you were told to hand over all relevant communications.
02:51But you kept this WhatsApp communication secret.
02:55Then when it did eventually come out, you said you hadn't handed it over to the investigators because it was
03:00on your old phone and you'd forgot about it.
03:03I don't think that this is the number one issue for the people of our country.
03:10With respect, sir, I beg to differ.
03:14The number one issue right now is whether the British people can trust a blind word that comes out of
03:19your mouth.
03:20And to cap it all, soon after Brownlow agreed to foot your bill, he secured a meeting with a cabinet
03:27minister to penal one of his pet projects.
03:31I followed the ministerial guidance at all times.
03:33You must think we were born yesterday, fella. You're as bent as a nine-barred note.
03:38On screen, image nine.
03:42What is your relationship with Jennifer O'Cruary?
03:45Look, I've said everything I'm going to say on that particular subject.
03:48You had an affair with this American technology entrepreneur who then received tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money
03:54and access to overseas trade missions that you led.
03:58So who are you actually working for?
04:00The British people or your friends and donors?
04:04And your friend, Owen Patterson, was caught bang to rights taking a hundred grand a year from a COVID testing
04:12company before successfully lobbying for them to win hundreds of millions of pounds in government contracts.
04:20Mother of God.
04:21Taxpayers' money being siphoned off yet again.
04:25Frankly, I think, you know, I think it is extraordinary that colleagues sometimes do behave in this way.
04:33Well, you can't have thought it was that extraordinary.
04:37Because you tried to get Patterson off the hook by sacking the parliamentary sleaze watchdog that was investigating him.
04:43Any honest Prime Minister would have cut Patterson loose.
04:47But no, not you. No.
04:49You had his back.
04:51Maybe you were trying to get yourself off the hook, too.
04:54That's before we get to the parties in Downing Street.
04:57Sorry, did D.I.R. not touch a nerve?
04:59He's totally prejudging the whole thing.
05:02He needs to contain himself.
05:03No.
05:04He needs to contain himself and wait for the police to complete their inquiries.
05:08We are the police, fella.
05:10This is the inquiry.
05:13And what we found is that you lied and you lied and you lied to the public, to Parliament, to
05:24the grieving families.
05:26You lot even partied the night before the Queen buried her husband of 73 years.
05:31Your government offered to relax the rules for the funeral, but the Queen refused.
05:36She understood that it was her duty to set an example to the nation.
05:40But what did you do?
05:41The night before the funeral, your staff wailed a suitcase to the co-op, filled it with booze, set up
05:47a DJ deck, and got wasted.
05:50Image 17.
05:51Look at Her Majesty.
05:54Do it.
05:55Look at that picture.
05:57Because of you, our values are dying.
06:03Having heard the charges against you, I am satisfied that you are unfit to hold public office.
06:11Speak for England, Gaffer.
06:13Your shameless disrespect for truth and accountability has vandalized our most precious institutions.
06:23Values we cherish as a nation, that we take pride in as a nation.
06:29But you have made a mockery of that.
06:32You are finished here, Prime Minister.
06:35You are finished with lying to us, and that's only the start of it.
06:38Christ knows what criminal charges you're going to end up facing.
06:43You have put the knife through the heart of everything we aspire to be as a nation.
06:49And we won't bear it.
06:52We won't bear it a day longer.
06:55We will not be corrupted by you.
