Crosstalk. but the difference there — forgive me — because i read the speech, was you were a backbencher. you are now speaking with the authority of a man who sees her majesty the queen i think on a monthly basis, dont you, as lord president of the council? well, the privy council normally meets monthly, yes. i mean, is it right to give us your opinion? you are perfectly entitled to do that, it is an interesting opinion, but should you give the opinion that you have had for many years with a...

Is what will be published. and i think that is absolutely right and sensible. has it come as a surprise to you, perhaps surprise or frustration for the prime minister that having originally said they had no interest in this at all, the police at the very last minute, just as this report is about to be published say, hold on just a second, you cant publish everything you want to? i wouldnt dream of criticising the police going about their duties. i think one of the great principles of british con...

Are people in the public. what they are talking about is whether government sticks to the laws it sets, whether there is one rule for you and the prime minister and another rule for everybody else. that doesnt mention cake and it doesnt mention icing sugar. with respect, you mentioned cake, and therefore brought the subject into our discussion. i think when it was first under discussion, there was a real sense of shock and upset from people who had obeyed the laws very carefully, and i think tha...

I wouldnt dream of criticising the police going about their duties. i think one of the great principles of british constitutional life is that nobody is above the law. and that creates a very good constitutional setup, a good polity where corruption doesnt exist in this country as it does in some other countries because of this proper relationship between the various different parts of our system. and, therefore, i dont think, as a member of the cabinet, i would be at all right to question what ...

Like "levelling up", then? do they get banned? "levelling up" is a brilliant phrase, one of my favourites. it is actually important because it underlines something that is happening across the country. it means redistributing wealth, does it, mr rees—mogg? no, it doesnt, it means giving people opportunity. it is nothing to do with redistributing wealth. well get you back for a third time on political thinking, to explain. youre too kind. my least favourite is "going forwards" so we wont say th...

This is about something much more central, isnt it, with the prime minister? whether ministers, whether civil servants abide by the law, the regulations that they set for everybody else? i think im afraid we have lost proportion on this matter completely. and we are discussing whether or not there was a cake. we are asking, practically, what the cake looked like, what type of icing sugar was used on a cake that may or may not have been given to the first and second laws of the treasury when they...

We are not talking about cake, mr rees—mogg, neither are people in the public. what they are talking about is whether government sticks to the laws it sets, whether there is one rule for you and the prime minister and another rule for everybody else. that doesnt mention cake and it doesnt mention icing sugar. with respect, you mentioned cake, and therefore brought the subject into our discussion. i think when it was first under discussion, there was a real sense of shock and upset from people ...

You want it out as soon practical, d wanted to be as full as possible? my general rule of political life is that the more that people are told as early as possible, the better off you are. and the prime ministers position, the governments position is that what is given to him by sue gray is what will be published. and i think that is absolutely right and sensible. how is it come as a surprise to you, perhaps surprise or frustration for the prime minister that having originally said they had no i...
