00:00What are we going to do about the Elgin marbles?
00:04Oh gosh, do you know what Kay? I don't know what we're going to do about the Elgin marbles.
00:10What would you like to happen? Do you think we should keep them here?
00:14Oh gosh, it's like a raging debate in my house with my husband, the Elgin marbles.
00:19It's certainly a raging debate as it relates to, let me finish if I may please,
00:23the Greek Prime Minister and our Prime Minister are meeting today.
00:27They want them back. We pinched them a long time ago. What should we do?
00:32Look, I think that there's probably a perfectly sensible solution that can be come up.
00:37I'm not going to pre-empt the conversation that the Prime Minister is going to have
00:41with the Greek Prime Minister because that would then become the story
00:45of me telling Keir Starmer what to say to the Greek Prime Minister.
00:48But look, it seems like the two friendly nations could probably get over this particular issue.
00:55I have to say, in the public, it's very rarely raised with me on a doorstep
01:00what's going to happen to the Elgin marbles, notwithstanding my husband's keen interest.
