00:00Did you advise Rishi Sunak that he should be at the event that we're showing now?

00:07Did you have that conversation with him?

00:09Well, first of all, the photograph of President Biden and Macron, Schultz and myself, that wasn't an event.

00:17It was literally President Macron said he wanted to have a word with me.

00:20And I went up and we had an exchange.

00:24And then he said, let's have a photo of the quad, which is Britain, France, America and Germany.

00:30And so there we were having a photograph. It wasn't an event or a meeting or anything as substantial as that.

00:35In terms of my advice, I'm part of a team and I support my team leader.

00:41And I give advice confidentially to my team leader about all sorts of things.

00:46And we act as a team and I support his decisions and I support the things that he does.

00:51Trust is really important, Mr Cameron. It's something we'll come on to in just a moment.

00:54But I mean, in the light of that, trust in you is also important.

00:59It's about people's credibility, isn't it? So my question was fairly simple.

01:02Did you ever at any point, did you advise him that he was making a bad decision?

01:07Well, I'm not getting into advice that I or my department gave.

01:11Ultimately, politics is a team enterprise. It's important to remember that.
