couldn t say it is just one set of society. this is across the board, as i mentioned earlier, whether you are a business owner like me or a homeowner or not, whatever age you are. it is actually affecting people, and it s notjust how it is affecting people, and i could go on about that forever, but it is also about that forever, but it is also about how people behave and how people want to be governed by people who know how to behave and who don t lie and who don t waste their money and don t commit what looks to me like fraud. the vip lanes, for example. like fraud. the vip lanes, for example- - - like fraud. the vip lanes, for example. like fraud. the vip lanes, for examle. . , example. are you really a. this miaht be example. are you really a. this might be a example. are you really a. this might be a trojan example. are you really a. this might be a trojan horse. example. are you really a. this might be a trojan horse. look - example. are you really a. this might be a trojan
very relevant and i find it difficult that someone in his position would not see that as transparent. this is a real theme at the moment with this government. it seems to be they don t want to be clear about what s happening in government and they don t want to be transparent. i have spent the last 18 months trying to drag out of the government to the situation with the vip lanes and what happened during procurement, and the situation we have seen with conservative mps and the scandal we had with 0wen paterson. it s a constant sleaze and scandal at the moment and it undermines people s trust and confidence in public servants. i have to say that regardless of political party, most mps go into theirjob to do a good job and be good public servants and every time something like this happens it undermines people s trust and confidence in politics in general and that s why we have to clear it up. it s a situation we are all responsible for and we all have to

the rules and do what s right, so why don t they? applause people are sick and tired of the conservatives making the powerful even more powerful. rigging the game for theirfriends. even more powerful. rigging the game for their friends. creating special vip lanes for tory donors to get juicy taxpayerfunded vip lanes for tory donors to get juicy taxpayer funded contracts, while excluding 3 million self employed people from basic covid support. the tories, taking millions in donations from property developers and writing new laws so those same developers can ignore you and your community. tory ministers doing specialfavours and your community. tory ministers doing special favours for their mates while dodging accountability for their own actions. and a prime minister who will do anything and say anything for a donation or a vote, except take responsibility for his industrial scale deceits.
