Wes Streeting hits back at Maria Caulfield over Keir Starmer comment

Transcript

00:00David Cameron, when he was Prime Minister, was famous for his chillaxing.

00:04It sounds like if Keir Starmer becomes Prime Minister this week,

00:08he'll be chillaxing too, knocking off early on a Friday.

00:11No, what Keir Starmer has said is that throughout his time as leader of the

00:15Labour Party, he's tried to protect Friday nights with his kids.

00:18Firstly, because he's a good dad.

00:20Secondly, his wife's family have Jewish heritage and Friday nights are special.

00:25What we've seen this morning is just the latest desperate attack

00:29from the Conservative Party.

00:31The party that brought you the biggest lockdown party in Downing Street,

00:36now talking about other people's work ethic.

00:39The stench of their lies and hypocrisy is even more overwhelming

00:42than the vomit they left for Downing Street cleaners to clean up.

00:45And like the Downing Street cleaners, if we're given the chance on Thursday,

00:49Labour will clean up the Tories' mess too.

00:51And as far as I'm concerned, this is just the latest example

00:55of why this circus needs to be brought to an end

00:57and why people like Maria Caulfield, who were out this morning

01:00debasing herself on national television,

01:02should also be removed at the general election.

01:04And I know she's feeling the pressure from the Liberal Democrats in Lewes.
