00:00Would you like to take this opportunity to say sorry to pensioners like Chrissie?
00:06Well, I am really concerned that we've been put in this position.
00:10I asked you, would you like to take this opportunity to say sorry to voters who voted for you,
00:18like Chrissie, pensioners who are about to lose hundreds this winter because of your choices?
00:24What I'd say to Chrissie is this, I absolutely promised that we would stabilise the economy
00:32to make sure we never had the economy getting out of control again.
00:35So I've asked you a couple of times and you have just skirted around it,
00:39would you like to say sorry?
00:40The people who should be saying sorry are the last government who left a hole of £22 billion.
00:48And they should be sorry for that, they should apologise for that.
00:51So you're not going to apologise?
00:52I've come in to fix the mess, fix the problems and that's tough,
00:57really tough decisions and if we don't stabilise the economy we can't keep to the triple lock.
