Lib Dems: Gove apology for lockdown party is 'too little too late'
Asked about a comment he made about a woman's"figure", he said it was"ill-judged" and said he would never use the word again. He said Labour's policy will be driven by more jobs, lower bills, energy security, and"climate leadership".But he also told Sophy Ridge that fossil fuels will still be needed:"There is no cliff edge, there is no turning off the tap. Oil and gas will play a significant role for decades to come."
It comes after former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon was arrested last week and then released without charge amid an investigation into the SNP's finances. "I think that video is disgusting, it's shameful, it's going to anger people right across the country, and it just feels like the Conservative Party wants us to relive that trauma day after day, week after week. And frankly, I think people are getting disgusted by it."
He said one must look at all cost of living measures, saying it's the independent Bank of England that sets interest rates. "One thing that is clear though is that the decisions that were taken by Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng exacerbated the situation." He added:"You have to follow the current rules. You can have a debate about changing the rules, and I think that debate is well worth having, but as long as we have the current rules, they go something like this: any retiring prime minister can put forward people for honours."
But pushed on whether people shown partying in the new video in the video published last night should receive their honour, he insisted that all processes were and should be followed.
