I think prime ministers, I actually think Cabinet ministers should be subject to intense scrutiny, I think that's in the public interest, even if some of the allegations made aren't right and so on, and they have to correct the record, it doesn't matter.

Well goodness knows, goodness knows what historians will write.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

If people are concerned about my house and where I live again it's much more of a reflection on them than it is on me.

So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.

I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don't respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.
