00:00Are you saying that Jeremy Hunt is a liar?
00:04Jeremy Hunt covered up from the House of Commons and from the country
00:08the true state of the public finances.
00:10He did that knowingly and deliberately.
00:13So he's a liar?
00:14If he covered something up knowingly, he's a liar?
00:16He lied, and they lied during the election campaign
00:18about the state of the public finances.
00:21I think it's very disappointing that the new government
00:25is choosing to do politics this way.
00:27I think it actually discredits politics.
00:30When people call each other liars.
00:33And I thought more highly of Rachel Reeves.
00:36I actually praised her on election night
00:39as being a committed civil servant.
00:41I think she can do better than that.
00:43The reality is that we...
00:46Are you angry? Are you insulted by this?
00:48I mean, she called you a liar.
00:49Of course.
00:51And... But I'm disappointed more than anything else.
