00:00Mr Speaker, can I begin by congratulating President-elect Trump on his historic election
00:06victory. As the closest of allies, the UK and US will continue to work together to protect
00:13our shared values of freedom and democracy. Having had dinner with President-elect Trump
00:20just a few weeks ago, I look forward to working with him in the years to come.
00:24As Leader of His Majesty's Opposition, I will be taking a different approach to the
00:28last Opposition by being a constructive Opposition. And so I would like to start by congratulating
00:34President-elect Trump on his impressive victory this morning.
00:38The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary met him in September. Did the Foreign Secretary
00:42take that opportunity to apologise for making derogatory and scatological references, including
00:48and I quote, Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath, he is also
00:54a profound threat to the international order. And if he did not apologise, will the Prime
00:58Minister do so now on his behalf?
