00:00 I'm here to join Emma, our great candidate, in campaigning because Liberal Democrats have

00:03 a real chance of taking this seat off the Conservatives. Everyone knows it's a two-horse

00:08 race between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives here in mid Bedfordshire. But

00:12 I'm also calling for the Prime Minister to sack Nadine Dorris. The people of mid Bedfordshire

00:19 have been failed by their MP. She's totally absent. And it's time the Conservative leader

00:26 and Prime Minister actually showed people that they're not so out of touch. I doubt

00:32 he will. But he's so weak, he's failing to sack Nadine Dorris. That's what he should

00:37 do. We'll wait to see what happens when Parliament gets back. But the Prime Minister could act

00:42 today. He could remove the whip from Nadine Dorris today. He could sack Nadine Dorris

00:47 today. I'm afraid we have a Conservative Prime Minister who's out of touch, incredibly weak.

00:53 And he, like Nadine Dorris, is letting down the people of mid Bedfordshire. They need

00:57 someone who's going to champion them in this cost of living crisis, who's going to fight

01:01 for the local NHS. There's far too few GPs here, for example. And the Conservative MP,

01:06 Nadine Dorris, and the Conservative Party and the government are failing the people

01:10 locally. We'd also have to wait for Nadine Dorris to resign. But it would send a signal

01:17 that the Conservative Party wouldn't have any truck with this absentee MP, this MP who's

01:22 letting people down. At the moment, they're conniving, they're working with Nadine Dorris,

01:27 keeping her in place, supporting her as a Conservative MP. That is quite shocking in

01:33 the way that she's behaving. If Rishi Sunak doesn't act, it shows how out of touch and

01:38 weak he is.

01:39 These are called chocolate toothpaste. They're a Bedfordshire delicacy. We want to support

01:52 local business. I don't think you're supposed to clean your teeth with it.

01:59 No, not really good for teeth cleaning.

02:01 Mmm. That's not bad at all.

02:08 Mmm.

02:10 Are you a physical artist?

02:12 Yes, definitely.

02:14 I was told to only have one bite, I'm going to have a second.

02:18 Mmm.
