00:00There's this murkiness that seems to be existing with the Chancellor continuously, not only
00:04to do with her CV, but now allegations around expenses before she became a Member of Parliament.
00:10The Prime Minister has been very clear in backing the Chancellor, which is the wrong
00:15thing to do, in my view, because you need to make sure that you hold all of your ministerial
00:21team to account in no matter what position they hold. So, you know, let's see what happens.
00:28This is absolutely damning on the Chancellor. She has purposely altered her CV. She has
00:35hidden the fact of previous expense claims that she's made before becoming a Member of
00:40Parliament. It just adds to the murkiness of this government.
