00:00I'm not going to pretend the last few days have been easy. They've been tough.
00:04I'm the sort of person that then wants to reflect on that, to ask myself what do we need to ensure we don't get into a situation like that again, and we'll go through that process.
00:15I have to ask you how Rachel Reeves is, because were you aware in Prime Minister's questions that she was looking deeply distressed next year? She was in tears.
00:25Well, Nick, forgive me, she's made it clear it's a personal matter. I'm not going to go into the personal matter of a colleague.
00:37What I will say is that she's done an excellent job as Chancellor. She and I work together, we think together, and in the past there have been examples, I won't give any specific, of Chancellors and Prime Ministers who weren't sort of in lockstep. We're in lockstep.
00:53People assumed it was because of politics. She decided to quit, or you'd said to her, Rachel, I'm sorry.
00:59Look, firstly, Nick, it's wrong.
01:01Is that wrong?
01:02It's wrong. I can just tell you that. That's absolutely wrong. It's got nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with what's happened this week. It was a personal matter for her.
