00:00Well, I was going to ask a question to Damian, actually,

00:02about national service.

00:03And isn't it a bit of a gimmick to try and plug

00:05the deficit in public services that your party has actually

00:09created?

00:10But that's been gazumped, actually, by Nigel.

00:13So if I can be very cheeky and just say to Nigel,

00:16is the reason that you're not standing because the last seven

00:19attempts that you did try to stand,

00:20you didn't get selected?

00:22I'm sure that's not the case, but I'd

00:23love to hear your thoughts.

00:24I know your answer.

00:27I stood.

00:29I stood.

00:42But you're now preparing to stand.

00:43OK.

00:43He's pretending to represent the party.

00:44You're not even prepared to risk standing.

00:46Stop.

00:47Could you please answer the question?
