00:00Can we just be clear? You said you'll stand a candidate. Are you talking about in the by-election
00:03that Nigel Farage is just about to trigger, or are you waiting for the standards investigation?
00:08We will be standing a candidate in the real by-election, which will follow the standards
00:12investigation. We're not standing a candidate in the fake by-election, which Nigel Farage is
00:18causing to distract people from what is happening. We need to let that investigation run its course.
00:24And I think the reason why Nigel Farage is doing this is because he is very worried that he's
00:28going to be found to have done something wrong. The best thing for him to have done would have been
00:32to call a press conference and explain what he did with the money, apologize if needs be,
00:39and that would have been the end of it. Instead, he has been running away from scrutiny. He's not
00:44answering any questions. And what I'm saying is that no one is bigger than Parliament. We all have to do
00:49the right thing. We all have to register our interests. We, the Conservative Party, are very
00:54focused on uniting the country around sensible policies. There's a lot that people are unhappy
00:59about. We're going to focus on getting Britain working again and showing some common sense,
01:03not throwing random by-elections out because we're having a hissy fit.
