00:00Well, I was going to ask a question to Damian, actually,
00:02about national service.
00:03And isn't it a bit of a gimmick to try and plug
00:05the deficit in public services that your party has actually
00:09created?
00:10But that's been gazumped, actually, by Nigel.
00:13So if I can be very cheeky and just say to Nigel,
00:16is the reason that you're not standing because the last seven
00:19attempts that you did try to stand,
00:20you didn't get selected?
00:22I'm sure that's not the case, but I'd
00:23love to hear your thoughts.
00:24I know your answer.
00:27I stood.
00:29I stood.
00:30Yes, I stood.
00:33He's bottled it.
00:33Piers, you've never had the bottle to stand.
00:36You've bottled it, mate.
00:37I'm not a politician.
00:38You've stood.
00:39No, we'll leave that.
00:39I'm not a politician.
00:40Well, you're not even a TV.
00:41You've bottled it.
00:42But you're now preparing to stand.
00:43OK.
00:43OK.
00:43He's pretending to represent the party.
00:44You're not even prepared to risk standing.
00:46Stop.
00:47Could you please answer the question?
