cbc anchor position. the reality of the queen's advanced age, wilfred, how is this becoming apparent to people and what is the approach to that? >> i think it is. stephanie is right, we never expected her to go to all of the weekend's events, but two things that she missed was missing the queen's speech a month ago and the service yesterday. she starts the legislative process. that was important. she missed it. she's the head of the church, she missed the service yesterday. i do not think there is anything new. i don't think she is an illness but the ages taking a toll. she's missing things that she otherwise would've wanted to go to. she had to pull out of the last minute. i think it is said that we are moving into a new era where it takes a toll and it is not getting any better. it will not bounce back. this is a concern. >> when you think about st. paul's and the service that she missed yesterday, look at all the stairs going up, look at the length of st. paul. she would have to get up there to try to.
so the same body that believes that they shouldn't be able to buy cigarettes, things that it's okay to purchase an ar-15. we know that this weapon was legally purchased by this perpetrator under texas law. so the very least they can do if we, we're not gonna do an all out then, would be to raise the age. but they don't want to do that. that would take a quick special session. we could go in literally for a few, days follow legislation, it would be passed, and we could absolutely get that into effect immediately. but that's not what they want to do. >> this is interesting how the texas department of public safety have now stop taking questions. they refer reporters to the local district attorney. what is the role of the da at this point? you think they're preparing for some sort of a grand jury hearing? >> they absolutely may. what could happen is a lot of people normally look at the da as saying okay, long forsman's
the state of texas. most people don't understand that listen, we all agree that some of this needs to change. i just don't think the governor nor the republicans in the state of texas have the desire to do so. >> we all recall uvalde residents booing governor abbott at the robb elementary memorial site when he visited last sunday. so we didn't announce a special session. but he did announce a special legislative committee. he said the state is opening a resource center on monday, providing mental health and other assistance to uvalde residents. is that what they want? or do they also want restrictions on buying assault weapons and raising the age to buy a gun? >> they are coming out right now. they want to say we did something. no, you didn't do anything. this is the same legislative body that two sessions ago decided that 18-year-olds were not responsible enough to buy cigarettes, so they wanted to raise the age to 21.
things in her own right. i think it is actually quite sexist to reduce her to the wife of the prime minister when she in herself has her own campaign and the ability to be able to change the things that she believes in and is passionate about. let's just tick them off and then we can move on. there are other things, you are godmother to wilfred, is that right or is that wrong? he is an incredible young man. understood. we interpret your silence. and, of course, there was some controversy around the fact that you went into the flat during covid to give support to them, does it annoy you, people ask questions about that? do you know what annoys me is the fact that the same people that will write it, asking for questions to be answered, were the same people that were inboxing me, saying, i know it is within the rules, so actually sometimes itjust becomes a spectacle. it was within the rules, i was a single person in london, i spent 18 months of lockdown on my own,
i still am on my own, so it was allowed in tier 4 in orderfor a single person to be able to join in a childcare bubble. sometimes, it is a little bit offensive, where this kind of thing #thenanny was said and all these kinds of things, but you know what? it was my friend, i was grateful to be able to spend... because my birthday was on the 27th of december so i was grateful not to spend time alone after spending almost a year lockdown on my own. you've been really clear that working with someone on things that you agree about is not the same as sharing their politics. you ran for the women's equality party, at the last election you did not vote conservative, you made it clear that you were voting green, now you don't work for him, as you made clear, you work for his government, are there times when you just, when you are looking after wilfred or something, you just want to cut through all that nonsense, all the civil servants
is a friend to senior ministers, was a senior press officer for the conservative party, someone who has their own political agenda, her own ideas, her own allies, and in that sense, isn't she entitled to have some scrutiny? well, like me, she respects due process and democracy so i think, in terms of me saying power, i am talking about her campaigning on animal rights and on climate and the whole point when she let the whole campaign around plastic, so this is a person that is actually renowned and able to do things in her own right. i think it is actually quite sexist to reduce her to the wife of the prime minister when she in herself has her own campaign and the ability to be able to change the things that she believes in and is passionate about. let's just tick them off and then we can move on. there are other things, you are godmother to wilfred, is that right or is that wrong? he is an incredible young man. understood. we interpret your silence. and, of course, there was some controversy around the fact that you went into the flat during covid
